[ §196-103] Exemptions. This part shall not apply to a lamp:
(1) Used for image capture and projection, including photocopying; printing, directly or in preprocessing; lithography; film and video projection; and holography;
(2) That has a high proportion of ultraviolet light emission and is one of the following:
(A) A lamp with high ultraviolet content that has ultraviolet power greater than two milliwatts per kilolumen;
(B) A lamp for germicidal use, such as the destruction of DNA, that emits a peak radiation of approximately 253.7 nanometers;
(C) A lamp used for disinfection or fly trapping from which either the radiation power emitted between two hundred fifty and three hundred fifteen nanometers represents at least five per cent of, or the radiation power emitted between three hundred fifteen and four hundred nanometers represents at least twenty per cent of, the total radiation power emitted between two hundred fifty and eight hundred nanometers;
(D) A lamp used for the generation of ozone where the primary purpose is to emit radiation at approximately 185.1 nanometers;
(E) A lamp used for coral zooxanthellae symbiosis from which the radiation power emitted between four hundred and four hundred eighty nanometers represents at least forty per cent of the total radiation power emitted between two hundred fifty and eight hundred nanometers; or
(F) Any lamp used in a sunlamp product. For the purposes of this subparagraph, "sunlamp product" has the same meaning as defined in title 21 Code of Federal Regulations section 1040.20(b)(9);
(3) Used for medical or veterinary diagnosis or treatment or used in a medical device;
(4) Used in pharmaceutical product manufacturing or quality control;
(5) Used for spectroscopy and photometric applications, such as ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy, molecular spectroscopy, atomic absorption spectroscopy, nondispersive infrared, Fourier transform infrared, medical analysis, ellipsometry, layer thickness measurement, process monitoring, or environmental monitoring;
(6) Used by academic and research institutions exclusively for conducting research projects and experiments; or
(7) Used to replace a lamp in previously manufactured motor vehicles. [L 2023, c 225, pt of §2]
