What Does Risk Group 2 Mean?
Risk Group 2 does not mean the product is unsafe. It means the light output is strong enough that users should avoid staring directly into the light source for extended periods. This is similar to many professional-grade LED, UV, and curing lights used in beauty, medical, and industrial applications- like ring lights, crescent lights, etc.
When used as intended, the lamp falls within internationally accepted safety limits. The testing confirmed that normal use of the device does not exceed the exposure thresholds established by IEC 62471.
Key Takeaway
The PLA Beauty UV LED Lamp successfully passed IEC 62471 photobiological safety testing and was classified as either Risk Group 1 (Low Risk) or Risk Group 2 (Moderate Risk) depending on the operating conditions tested. These classifications indicate that the device is suitable for its intended professional use, provided standard precautions are followed, such as avoiding prolonged direct viewing of the light source and following all manufacturer instructions.
