scope:

This document specifies procedures for the measurement and assessment of personal exposures to ultraviolet (UV) radiation emitted by artificial sources, where adverse effects can not readily be excluded. This document applies to UV-exposures in indoor and outdoor workplaces. It does not apply to UV-exposures in leisure time. This document does not apply to UV-exposure caused by the sun. This document does not specify UV-exposure limit values. It supports the application of limit values set by national regulations or international recommendations. This document applies to UV-exposures by artificial incoherent sources, which emit spectral lines as well as continuous spectra. This document does not apply to coherent radiation sources. This document applies to UV-exposures in the wavelength band 180 nm to 400 nm. This document does not apply to radiation exposures which concern the retina. This document does not apply to radiation emissions of products.
