Region of the electromagnetic spectrum extending from about 100 nm to 400 nm. This region is divided into four sub-bands as follows:
Vacuum Ultraviolet (VUV)  100−200 nm
UV-C 200−280 nm
UV-B 280−315 nm
UV-A315−400 nm.
Note: The notation and the limits of the various regions are as recommended by the International Commission on Illumination (CIE), with the exception that in these recommendations the UV-C range is 100−280 nm, including thus the vacuum UV range.
