Risks related to the use of LEDs
Persons suffering from macular degeneration related to age, phakic or aphakic persons and
photosensitiz
ers consumers (medicines, cosmetic…) can be sensitive to the blue light LEDs
emit. Studies are ongoing to evaluate those cases. A precautionary principle should be
adopted.
NF EN 62471 standard defines four groups of hazardousness for each radiation source related
to
the maximum permissible user exposure to light:
•
GR0
– risk group 0: no risk regardless time of exposure
•
GR1 - risk group 1 (low risk): max. exposure time of 10 000 s (3 h)
•
GR2 - risk group 2 (moderate risk): max. exposure time of 100 s
•
GR3 - risk group 3 (serious risk): max. exposure time of 0.25 s
LaVie water purifier is categorized as GR 1.
LaVie presents no risk to human health under normal conditions of use.
Do not look directly at the light from LEDs for a prolonged time (max. 10 minutes).

matter, etc. Moreover, LaVie produces no effect on radioactivity and radioelements.
LaVie is intended to improve the quality of initially drinkable tap water.
