Description / Abstract:
This part of ISO 15004 specifies f undamental requirements for
optical radiation safety for ophthalmic instruments. It is
applicable to all ophthalmic instruments that direct optical
radiation into or at the eye and for which there is a light hazards
requirement section within their respective International
Standards. It is also applicable to all new and emerging ophthalmic
instruments that direct optical radiation into or at the eye, as
well as to those portions of therapeutic or surgical systems that
direct optical radiation into or at the eye for diagnostic,
illumination, measurement, imaging or alignment purposes.
This part of ISO 15004 does not apply to radiation that is
intended for treatment of ocular tissues.
NOTE 1 In the case of the treatment beams of therapeutic
devices, when conducting risk assessments for nontarget tissues,
the limits given in this International Standard can be applied to
the treatment beam.
Where vertical (instrument-specific) International Standards
contain specific light hazard requirements different from those
given in this part of ISO 15004, then those in the vertical
International Standard take precedence.
This part of ISO 15004 classifies ophthalmic instruments into
either Group 1 or Group 2 in order to distinguish instruments that
are non-hazardous from those that are potentially hazardous.
NOTE 2 The emission limits are based on the International
Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) guidelines
for human exposure to optical radiation. The limits and guidelines
in this International Standard also take account of the likelihoods
that eyes might be dilated and that eyes and heads might be
stabilized during ophthalmic examinations. See Reference.[1]
