Import Tips
• Verify UV wavelength certification (typically 254nm for UV-C) and include spectral output data in documentation to confirm classification as ultraviolet lamp
• Ensure compliance with EPA and FDA regulations for germicidal devices; provide safety data sheets for mercury content handling
