Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies
(ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO
technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been
established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and
non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the
International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards
adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an
International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
ISO 15004-2 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 172, Optics and photonics, Subcommittee SC 7,
Ohthalmic optics and instruments and by Technical Committee CEN/TC 170, Ophthalmic optics in
collaboration.
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (EN ISO 15004-2:2007), which has been technically
revised.
ISO 15004 consists of the following parts, under the general title Ophthalmic instruments — Fundamental
requirements and test methods:
 Part 1: General requirements applicable to all ophthalmic instruments
 Part 2: Light hazard protection

DRAFT INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO/DIS 15004-2

Ophthalmic instruments — Fundamental requirements and test
methods — Part 2: Light hazard protection
1 Scope
This part of ISO 15004 specifies fundamental requirements for optical radiation safety for ophthalmic
instruments and is applicable to all ophthalmic instruments that direct optical radiation into or at the eye and
for which there is a light hazards requirement section within their respective International Standards. It is also
applicable to all new and emerging ophthalmic instruments that direct optical radiation into or at the eye, as
well as to those portions of therapeutic or surgical systems that direct optical radiation into or at the eye for
diagnostic, illumination, measurement, imaging or alignment purposes.
This part of ISO 15004 does not apply to radiation that is intended for treatment of ocular tissues.
NOTE In the case of the treatment beams of therapeutic devices, when conducting risk assessments for non-target
tissues, the limits given in this Standard can be applied to the treatment beam.
Where vertical (instrument-specific) International Standards contain specific light hazard requirements
different from those given in this part of ISO 15004, then those in the vertical International Standard shall take
precedence.
This part of ISO 15004 classifies ophthalmic instruments into either Group 1 or Group 2 in order to distinguish
instruments that are non-hazardous from those that are potentially hazardous.
NOTE The emission limits are based on the International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP)
guidelines for human exposure to optical radiation. The limits and guidelines in this standard also account for the
likelihoods that eyes may be dilated and that eyes and heads may be stabilised during ophthalmic examinations. See
Bibliography [1].
2 Normative references
The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and are
indispensable for its application. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references,

confused with the angular subtense of the source α which denotes source size.

4 Classification
For the purposes of this part of ISO 15004, ophthalmic instruments are classified into two groups in order to
separate those instruments that are capable of presenting a potential hazard from those which do not. The
two groups are named Group 1 and Group 2. They are defined as follows:
a) Group 1 instruments: ophthalmic instruments for which no potential light hazard exists. Ophthalmic
instruments that can be shown to fulfil the requirements of 5.2.
b) Group 2 instruments: ophthalmic instruments for which a potential light hazard exists. Those ophthalmic
instruments that do not fulfil the requirements of 5.2 but do fulfil those of 5.3.
NOTE The classification process is outlined in the classification flowchart (see Annex F).
5 Requirements
5.1 General
Ophthalmic instruments shall be so designed that the energy in all wavelengths be attenuated as much as
possible in keeping with the intended use of the instrument.
If another device is used in combination with an ophthalmic instrument, the connecting system shall not
degrade the optical radiation safety of either instrument, nor shall the optical radiation hazards of the
combined system exceed the levels that are given in this part of ISO 15004.
5.2 Requirements for classification as a Group 1 instrument
An ophthalmic instrument shall be classified in Group 1 if any or all of the following criteria apply.
a) An International Standard exists for the instrument type but no light hazard requirements are included in
that International Standard.
b) Its components, e.g. lamps, light-emitting diodes, non-removable filters, lenses, fibres, etc., prevent
emissions in excess of the limits specified for instruments in the Group 1 and certification of this exists.
Such instruments shall be classified as Group 1 by virtue of the test certification by the manufacturer of
the components themselves without the need for further measurements. If such components prevent
some, but not all emissions to exceed the limits specified for Group 1, then measurements shall be
required only for those parameters in Tables 2 and 3 where the components do not prevent the limits
from being exceeded.
c) Its emission values are equal to or less than the limit values given in 5.4. The test methods used for
determination of compliance shall be in accordance with 6.2.
d) It is a dose-limited instrument.
Existing International Standards that contain light hazard requirements are listed in Annex B. The limit values
to determine Group 1 classification are based upon an expected exposure time for the instrument type under
consideration. The Group 1 limit values given in 5.4 are based upon a 1 h exposure. These limits apply to all
instruments except operation microscopes, endoilluminators, and instruments designed for continuous
exposure. For operation microscopes and endoilluminators, the limits for Group 1 shall be further reduced by
a factor of 2. For instruments designed for continuous exposure, the limits should be reduced by a factor equal
to one half of the continuous exposure time, in hours, associated with the intended use of the instrument.
Time-limited instruments fulfil the Group 1 requirement for retinal photochemical aphakic light hazard weighted
retinal irradiance, E , if their maximum exposure duration is less than the time to reach the recommended
A-R
maximum exposure for photochemical aphakic retinal exposure, t , as per 6.5.3.
