ALA, NEMA, and UL Team Up to Offer UV Safety Guidance

The American Lighting Association (ALA) and the National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA), and UL recently released a new position paper due to an increased demand for ultraviolet light as a sanitizing and germicidal agent during the COVID pandemic. The position paper brings attention to UV device safety risks and helps manufacturers, retailers, and consumers understand which devices are safe and under what conditions they can be operated safely.
