The importance of LED and Laser optical testing in products

Whether it’s a consumer product, an industrial-grade system or laboratory equipment, many products use lasers or LEDs to achieve their applications. 
 

Laser and LED radiation safety represents a critical concern for customers. Vision is one of the most valued senses and ensuring the safety of customers and their sight is of the upmost importance.  We offer complete solutions for different degrees of automation to assess laser and LED risks. 
 

In addition, our state-of-the-art spectroradiometer  can evaluate products to document whether they comply with the appropriate radiation safety standards. Our analysis software can generate a wide variety of deliverables, ranging from simple optical output measurement results to IECEE CB Scheme Test Reports.

The All-in-1 solution for IEC 62471 and IEC 60825 compliance

From our SafeLED software for full light safety analysis and compliance with IEC 62471 LED safety and IEC 60825 Laser safety standards, to fully automated light source measurement, Hexago provided the easiest and simplest way to ensure the optical safety of consumer products.

​

Hexago's Spectroraph is a unique tool capable of achieving the testing required under both IEC 62471 and IEC 60825 standards, within a single system, the only one of its kind.

Compliance to IEC 60825 laser standards

Most countries in the European Union, as well as many other countries worldwide, including Canada, Japan, South Korea, and Australia, adhere to the IEC 60825 standard for laser safety, meaning they essentially require compliance with its regulations when selling or using laser products within their borders.

Compliance to IEC 62471 LED and luminaire safety standards

All lights sold in Canada, the European Union, and Asia are required to be tested to the IEC 62471 standard to protect workers from injuries and blindness caused by exposure to ultraviolet (UV), visible, and infrared/thermal electromagnetic radiation.

​

Lasers and IEC 60825 testing

IEC 60825 requires the evaluation of risks to the user that lasers can cause. The testing of lasers is composed of a few test conditions. All measurements must be done using calibrated equipment.

• 0 mm distance power measurements

• 100 mm distance power measurements

• 2 000 mm distance power measurements 

• Subtended angle (Alpha) of laser source measurements

• Spectral measurement

​

LEDs and IEC 62471 testing

IEC 62471 requires the evaluation of risks to the user that LEDs and lamps can cause. The testing of LEDs and lamps is composed of a few test conditions. All measurements must be done using calibrated equipment.

• Exempt, Risk Group 1 & Risk Group 2 assessment testing

  • 200 mm distance spectral power measurement at 100 mrad FOV 

  • 200 mm distance spectral power measurement at 11 mrad FOV

  • 200 mm distance spectral power measurement at 1.7 mrad FOV

  • Subtended angle (Alpha) of LED source measurements

• UV hazard testing 

  • Actinic UV exposure limit (200 nm – 400 nm)

  • Near-UV exposure limit (315 nm - 400 nm)

• Visible/Blue-light hazard testing

  • Blue light hazard exposure limit (300 nm – 700 nm) 

• IR/Thermal hazard testing

  • Retinal thermal hazard exposure limit (380 nm – 1400 nm)

  • Retinal thermal hazard exposure limit – weak visual stimulus (780 nm – 1400 nm) 

  • Infrared hazard exposure – eye (780 nm – 1400 nm)

  • Thermal hazard exposure limit – skin (300 nm – 1400 nm)

Why choose us?

The Hexago's Spectroraph is the first IEC accepted spectroradiometer and was the catalyst for the new equipment list changes that occurred early 2025. Our engineers work closely with certification bodies to insure compliance and understanding of the latest updates of optical safety standards. The Spectroraph solution was even the convincing argument as to why our spectroradiometer should be added to the accepted equipment list of the IEC 62471 standard, making us the leaders in change and innovation in the industry. Our analysis software also provided vital insight on the interpretation of the safety standards and can help you fast track your path to become a certification lab.

​

The Spectroraph is meant to replace the use of bulky and expensive monochromators previously required by the standard for the measurement of LEDs. It also removes the need for calibration lamps that were one of the most complex part of the utilization of monochromators.
 

Monochromators and calibration lamps can cost upwards of $150 000 USD, while requiring measurement day calibrations. It can also only fulfill the needs of the LED standard, not the Laser standard. Monochromators also do not come with automation stages, while our solutions can easily be adapted onto motorized stages at a fraction of the cost.

​

Contact us today to learn more about the Spectroraph's capability. We make it our goal to provide faster, easier, safer, more affordable solutions for laser and LED compliance. ​

​

Our Spectroraph is multiple times, faster, smaller, cheaper than monochromators, takes measurements in 1 second and is the only system that can address both laser and LED standards. Typical monochromator measurements can take upwards of 30 minutes and do not provide a viable way of assessing the worst case scenarios of any given light source, our solution does.
