Notes
The evaluation of eye safety occurs according to the standard IEC 62471:2006 (photo biological safety of
lamps and lamp systems). Within the risk grouping system of this IEC standard, the device specified in this
data sheet fall into the class exempt group (exposure time 10000 s). Under real circumstances (for expo-
sure time, conditions of the eye pupils, observation distance), it is assumed that no endangerment to the
eye exists from these devices. As a matter of principle, however, it should be mentioned that intense light
sources have a high secondary exposure potential due to their blinding effect. When looking at bright light
sources (e.g. headlights), temporary reduction in visual acuity and afterimages can occur, leading to irrita-
tion, annoyance, visual impairment, and even accidents, depending on the situation.
Subcomponents of this device contain, in addition to other substances, metal filled materials including silver.
Metal filled materials can be affected by environments that contain traces of aggressive substances. There-
fore, we recommend that customers minimize device exposure to aggressive substances during storage,
production, and use. Devices that showed visible discoloration when tested using the described tests above
did show no performance deviations within failure limits during the stated test duration. Respective failure
limits are described in the IEC60810.

Packing information is available on the internet (online product catalog).

Packing
Please use the recycling operators known to you. We can also help you – get in touch with your nearest
sales office. By agreement we will take packing material back, if it is sorted. You must bear the costs of
transport. For packing material that is returned to us unsorted or which we are not obliged to accept, we
shall have to invoice you for any costs incurred.

Product and functional safety devices/applications or medical devices/applications

OSRAM OS components are not developed, constructed or tested for the application as safety relevant
component or for the application in medical devices.
OSRAM OS products are not qualified at module and system level for such application.

In case buyer – or customer supplied by buyer – considers using OSRAM OS components in product safety
devices/applications or medical devices/applications, buyer and/or customer has to inform the local sales
partner of OSRAM OS immediately and OSRAM OS and buyer and /or customer will analyze and coordi-
nate the customer-specific request between OSRAM OS and buyer and/or customer.

Glossary
1)
Radiant intensity: Measured at a solid angle of Ω = 0.01 sr
2)
Brightness: The brightness values are measured with a tolerance of ±11%.
3)
Reverse Operation: This product is intended to be operated applying a forward current within the
specified range. Applying any continuous reverse bias or forward bias below the voltage range of light
emission shall be avoided because it may cause migration which can change the electro-optical char-
acteristics or damage the LED.
4)
Forward Voltage: The forward voltages are measured with a tolerance of ±0.1 V.
5)
Total radiant flux: Measured with integrating sphere.
6)
Thermal resistance: junction ‐ ambient, mounted on PC‐board (FR4), padsize 16 mm² each
7)
Typical Values: Due to the special conditions of the manufacturing processes of semiconductor devic-
es, the typical data or calculated correlations of technical parameters can only reflect statistical figures.
These do not necessarily correspond to the actual parameters of each single product, which could dif-
fer from the typical data and calculated correlations or the typical characteristic line. If requested, e.g.
because of technical improvements, these typ. data will be changed without any further notice.
8)
Testing temperature: TA = 25°C (unless otherwise specified)
9)
Tolerance of Measure: Unless otherwise noted in drawing, tolerances are specified with ±0.1 and
dimensions are specified in mm.
