Havn't heard this in quite a few years.
I think it was the late 80's and a Ergonomics specification from Germany IIRC.
I don't recall if it went away because of European harmonization or just went
away.
Supposedly having Red LED's in the operator area could cause Eye Strain, IIRC.

for China?

Hello listmates,
are there any restrictions on using red indicator LEDs in electronic products
intended for
export to China?
The former employer of a colleague apparently had some sort of restriction
placed on its OEMs,
strictly forbidding the use of red LEDs anywhere on their products. The red
LEDs were assumed
to indicate extreme caution or similar state, according to the Chinese
authorities (don't know
the regulating body).
I am not aware of any such restriction, but perhaps it has to do with
specific product
families.
any insight will be appreciated!
thank you,
Chet Summers
