UV radiation is hazardous for the eyes and skin. Therefore, a person needs to be cautious when working with UV LEDs and designing applications. UV-C radiation of 275nm is especially dangerous as it can damage DNA. When designing applications, the engineer must include appropriate safety measures and warnings in the application. According to the Directive 2006/25/EC, the maximum allowed dose per 8-hour workday is only 30J/m2 which is already less then needed for a single disinfection cycle.
