| Target Use | Define whether the panel is intended for general wellness, fitness recovery, skincare, professional practice, or home use. | The intended use affects optical output, controls, enclosure design, safety documentation, and packaging. | Written product brief, intended-use statement, user manual, and application limitations. | Essential |
| Wavelength Configuration | Specify the required wavelength bands, such as red light around 630–660 nm and near-infrared light around 810–850 nm, according to the intended application. | Different wavelength bands interact with tissue differently. A defined wavelength target makes supplier comparisons more meaningful. | Independent spectrometer report showing peak wavelength, bandwidth, and measurement conditions. | Essential |
| Wavelength Accuracy | Set an acceptable tolerance for each advertised wavelength, for example a target peak with a clearly stated tolerance. | LED nominal labels alone do not prove the actual optical output of the completed panel. | Recent test report from the finished production model rather than an unrelated LED component. | High |
| Irradiance | Define the desired irradiance range at a specified distance, commonly reported in mW/cm², together with the measurement method. | Light dose depends on both irradiance and exposure time. Results cannot be compared without a fixed distance and test method. | Calibrated irradiance map at several distances, including center, edges, and average output. | Essential |
| Uniformity | Set a minimum ratio between the lowest and average irradiance across the usable treatment area. | Even distribution helps reduce underexposed and overexposed areas during a session. | Grid-based irradiance measurements covering the full illuminated surface. | High |
| Pulse and Continuous Modes | Specify continuous output and, if needed, selectable pulsing frequency, duty cycle, and independent control for each wavelength group. | Different users may require different operating protocols, while independent controls improve product flexibility. | Functional sample demonstration, control specification, and operating instructions. | Medium |
| Session Timer | Require a digital timer with a clear countdown, automatic shutoff, and repeatable session settings. | Automatic shutoff supports consistent use and reduces the risk of unintended extended exposure. | Control-panel photographs, firmware description, and sample testing record. | High |
| Cooling System | Define fan type, airflow design, operating noise target, thermal protection, and accessible air-filter requirements where applicable. | Thermal management influences LED life, user comfort, noise, and long-term output stability. | Thermal test report, noise measurement at a stated distance, and over-temperature protection test. | High |
| Electrical Input | Specify destination-market voltage, frequency, plug type, power consumption, standby consumption, and power-supply configuration. | Electrical compatibility is necessary for safe operation and prevents avoidable import or installation problems. | Electrical rating label, power-supply specifications, wiring diagram, and applicable conformity documents. | Essential |
| Photobiological Safety | Require a documented photobiological safety assessment for the complete finished device and its operating modes. | Safety depends on the complete product, exposure conditions, optics, controls, and user instructions. | Test report to an applicable photobiological safety standard, with model number and test configuration clearly identified. | Essential |
| EMC and Electrical Safety | Define the electrical safety and electromagnetic compatibility requirements for the destination market. | Compliance testing helps reduce electrical, interference, customs, and marketplace risks. | Valid laboratory reports, declarations of conformity where applicable, and component certificates. | Essential |
| Mechanical Design | Specify panel dimensions, housing material, mounting points, stand or wall-mount options, cable length, and product weight. | Installation method, shipping cost, user ergonomics, and durability depend on the mechanical design. | Dimensioned drawings, material specifications, assembly instructions, and load or stability test results. | High |
| Optical Treatment Area | Define the usable illuminated area and the minimum coverage required for the intended body region or treatment position. | A large outer panel does not necessarily provide uniform light across the same usable area. | Light-distribution map, illuminated-area drawing, and sample measurement at the intended user distance. | High |
| Materials and Finish | Specify housing materials, surface finish, corrosion resistance, cable strain relief, and cleaning compatibility. | Materials affect durability, maintenance, appearance, and suitability for repeated indoor use. | Material data sheets, surface-finish details, cleaning instructions, and sample inspection. | Medium |
| Quality-Control Plan | Require incoming-material inspection, in-process checks, final functional testing, and serial or batch traceability. | A documented process is more reliable than a visual inspection of one sample. | Inspection checklist, sampling plan, calibration records, defect classification, and sample final-test report. | Essential |
| Output Consistency | Set acceptance limits for wavelength, irradiance, timer accuracy, power consumption, and thermal performance. | Clear acceptance criteria make pre-shipment inspection and warranty claims objective. | Signed product specification, golden sample, inspection protocol, and batch test data. | Essential |
| Packaging and Transport | Define carton dimensions, cushioning, drop protection, moisture protection, labeling, and palletization requirements. | Large panels can be vulnerable to impact, vibration, and cosmetic damage during international shipment. | Packaging drawings, carton drop-test results, packing list, and shipping-mark artwork. | High |
| Customization Scope | Clarify available options for wavelength mix, housing color, control interface, plug type, manual language, packaging, and accessories. | Defined customization limits reduce misunderstandings, tooling delays, and unexpected development costs. | Option list, tooling quotation, engineering-change process, minimum order quantities, and lead times. | Medium |
| Documentation Package | Require a user manual, installation guide, cleaning instructions, warnings, technical data sheet, and warranty terms in the required language. | Complete documentation supports safe use, customer service, regulatory review, and product registration. | Editable document samples, revision history, labeling artwork, and document-control procedure. | High |
| Sample Verification | Approve a production-representative sample before mass production and define which parameters must match the approved sample. | Sample approval creates a physical reference for appearance, function, output, packaging, and accessories. | Signed sample approval record, sample photographs, test results, and change-notification commitment. | Essential |
