UV Lights in Compliance with USAF Requirements

USAF has not published an official document for UV LED lights but has provided sufficient guidelines of what is acceptable for use by its non-destructive testing technicians. Each Labino UV LED light referred to in this section adopts these guidelines. All USAF compliant products are listed on page 32 of the 2023 catalog.

 How to stay in compliance with pledged standards

Please be advised that generic UV lights that have several UV LEDs mounted within a few millimeters from one another in a small housing create an excessive amount of heat which significantly shortens the life of the LEDs. Due to the small housing and large number of LEDs you cannot observe the LEDs failing as there is still some light coming out, albeit diminishing rapidly, unable to verify compliance with ASTM E3022 and consequently NADCAP checklists. ASTM E3022 requires that critical components such as failed LEDs be replaced before use.

WARNING!USE OF UV LIGHTS CAN CAUSE HARM TO YOUR EYES AND SKIN, PROTECT YOURSELF AGAINST UV EXPOSURE AT WORKPLACE.

    How to identify fake EX products video

    If anyone offers you an explosion proof product, you should ask for

    (a) the certification number

    (b) who the auditor is

    and check its authenticity online (www.iecex-certs.com). Manufacturers are obligated to share this information in their marketing literature. All certificates can be retrieved online, on the auditors website. There are fake explosion proof products from China, some re-branded, without certifications, distributed in the USA and Europe today. Don´t take "trust me" for an answer. You do not want an uncertified product on an oil rig or a refinery.

    Members of the US military should ask for PN: L3000.
