Safety

Safety-oriented by design.

A proposed layered design approach incorporates advanced optics, sensing technologies and control functions intended to support controlled Far-UVC operation and exposure-management objectives.

Safety-oriented control architecture: multilayer protection around a central shield, with optical filtration, access control, sensor systems, dose management and automated response, designed with people, devices and the environment in mind.

Multilayer protection

Six layers working together.

Optical filtration

Intended to support wavelength management within the proposed system architecture.

Access control

User authentication and application controls intended to support authorized operation under defined conditions.

Sensor systems

Intended to monitor operating conditions and support automated response functions.

Dose management

Real-time monitoring supports exposure management and predefined operating parameters.

Automated response

Intended to initiate operational changes when defined conditions are detected.

People, devices, environment

Suitability depends on configuration, installation, operating conditions and application-specific evaluation.

Standards and design considerations

Design objectives informed by recognized guidance.

Prototype development incorporates design objectives informed by ACGIH Threshold Limit Values and IEC 62471 photobiological safety guidance.

ACGIH TLVs
Threshold Limit Values for ultraviolet exposure
IEC 62471
Photobiological safety of lamps and lamp systems
