ICNIRP Guidelines on Limits of Exposure to Incoherent Visible and Infrared Radiation

International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP). Health Phys. .

Abstract

Guidelines for exposure to visible and infrared radiation were first proposed by ICNIRP in 1997. Related guidelines on limits of exposure to ultraviolet radiation (UVR) and laser radiation have been published. This document presents a revision of the guidelines for broadband incoherent radiation.
