ISO/CIE 28077:2016 PDF

Overview

ISO/CIE 28077:2016 defines an action spectrum (weighting function) for photocarcinogenesis of non‑melanoma skin cancers. The standard provides tabulated and graphical values that quantify the relative effectiveness of ultraviolet (UV) radiation across wavelengths (250 nm–400 nm) for inducing non‑melanoma skin tumours. The action spectrum is derived from experimental laboratory data (primarily animal studies) and was adjusted to estimate human skin response for use in risk assessment and regulatory applications.
