The aim of the invention is to be able to produce verifiable and reproducible information regarding the maximum radiation dose and/or the maximum exposure time of a subject to a UV radiation source. Said aim is achieved by a device for determining the allowed exposure time and/or radiation dose, comprising a UV emitter (7) for emitting a UV radiation, a UV sensor (8) for receiving the UV radiation reflected in and/or on the skin, and an evaluation unit for determining the radiation absorption. Particularly such a device individually measures the absorption of the erythema-effective UV radiation in a layer of a subject's skin, which is subject to hyperkeratosis, a UV radiation threshold value being assigned.

L'objectif de l'invention est de permettre l'obtention d'informations vérifiables et reproductibles concernant la dose de rayonnement maximale et/ou le temps d'exposition maximal d'un sujet à une source de rayonnement UV. Cet objectif est atteint grâce à un dispositif permettant de déterminer le temps d'exposition autorisé et/ou la dose de rayonnement autorisée, ce dispositif comprenant une lampe à UV (7) servant à émettre un rayonnement UV, un capteur d'UV (8) destiné à capter le rayonnement UV renvoyé dans et/ou sur la peau, ainsi qu'une unité d'évaluation servant à déterminer l'absorption de rayonnement. Ce dispositif permet en particulier de mesurer individuellement l'absorption du rayonnement UV à action érythémateuse dans une couche de la peau d'un sujet soumise à un épaississement, cette mesure permettant de définir une valeur seuil de rayonnement UV.
