(8) Eye Safety

● In 2006, the International Electrical Commission (IEC) published IEC 62471:2006 Photobiological safety of lamps

and lamp systems, which added LEDs in its scope.

On the other hand, the IEC 60825-1:2007 laser safety standard removed LEDs from its scope.

However, please be advised that some countries and regions have adopted standards

based on the IEC laser safety standard IEC 60825-1:20112001, which still includes LEDs in its scope.

Most of Nichia's LEDs can be classified as belonging into either the Exempt Group or Risk Group 1.

High-power LEDs, that emit light containing blue wavelengths, may be classified as Risk Group 2.

Please proceed with caution when viewing directly any LEDs driven at high current, or viewing LEDs

with optical instruments which may greatly increase the damages to your eyes.

● Viewing a flashing light may cause eye discomfort. When incorporating the LED into your product,

please be careful to avoid adverse effects on the human body caused by light stimulation.
