GL127 - Ultraviolet (UV) light sources
This guidance is for devices used in the school laboratory that emit ultraviolet light. Ultraviolet light is classed as optical radiation ranging in wavelength from 100 to 400 nm, below (in wavelength) visible light in the electromagnetic spectrum. (The visible light wavelength range is nominally 400 – 700 nm.)
