Erythema effective UV radiation
The natural UV radiation of the sun or the UV radiation of artificial sources has different effects to human skin dependant on the wavelength range. The long-wave UV radiation (more than 313 nm, UVA) tans the skin and supports the human immune system. The short-wave UV radiation (less than 313 nm, UVB/UVE) may cause irreversable damage.
In the recommendation of the CIE (Commission Internationale de l‘Eclairage) all spectral effect functions which can have a negative effect on the human skin are summarized. This recommendation is described in the DIN 5050 resp. ISO/CIE 17166 and valuated as a directive.
