ISO FDIS 12609-1

Description / Abstract: This part of ISO 12609 specifies performance and labelling of eye protectors used for ILS equipment used on humans and animals for cosmetic and medical applications against excessive exposure to optical radiation in the spectral range 250 nm to 3 000 nm, with the exception of laser radiation.

This part of ISO 12609 provides a specification for an eye protector expected to cope with the majority of applications. A more rigorous procedure for determining appropriate eye protection against spectral outputs from ILS equipment is described in the annexes.

This part of ISO 12609 is not applicable to eye protectors for use with tanning equipment, ophthalmic instruments or other medical/cosmetic devices, the safety issues of which are addressed through other European and International standards.
