IEC questions regarding the phase 2 development of the light-signaling devices regulation and light sources.

Following a request from the European Commission, the Scientific Committee on Health, Environmental and Emerging Risks (SCHEER) reviewed recent evidence to assess potential risks to human health posed by Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) emissions. The review of the published research conducted by the SCHEER has led to valuable conclusions and identified certain gaps in knowledge on potential risks to human health. The Committee concluded that there is no evidence of direct adverse health effects from
LEDs emission in normal use (lamps and displays) by the general healthy population.
