X14 UV Erythema Broadband Radiometer for Hazard Testing Sun Tanning Beds European Commission UV Protection Directive UV radiation is one of the most prevalent cancer risk factors. Because of this, federal lawmakers are trying to reduce the risk from artificial UV radiation with the UV Protection Directive. For sun tanning beds that emit UV radiation, this is achieved by a limit on the maximum UV output. UV Erythema Broadband Radiometer In order to provide the responsible committees with a mobile instrument to measure UV radiation in accordance with the UV Protection Directive, Gigahertz-Optik GmbH has developed the X14 Broadband Radiometer. VA and UVB Two-channel UV Erythema detector head The UV radiometer‘s UV erythema detector head sets itself apart from others thanks to the fact that it features two UV radiation detectors. Separating the UVA and UVB spectral ranges between two radiation detectors reduces the crosstalk between the long-wavelength UVA and short-wavelength UVB spectral ranges. This design principle offers a greatly reduced measurement uncertainty compared to UV erythema measurement detectors with only one UV radiation detector. Actinitic UV Erythema Dose-Response Function The spectral sensitivity of the two UV radiation detectors take into account the UV erythema actinic function. Therefore the sum signal of the two UV radiation detector forms the effective UV erythemal irradiance. Additionally, both signals can be displayed separately in order to depict the ratio of UVB to UVA radiation.
