The spec sheet for the AS7265x ultraviolet LED states the following:

"Depending on the mode of operation, these devices emit highly concentrated non visible ultraviolet light which can be hazardous to the human eye. Products which incorporate these devices have to follow the safety precautions given in IEC 60825-1 “Safety of Laser Products”.

Does anyone know if the UV LED, as implemented in the AS7265x, hazardous to the human eye? If so, what are the recommended safety precautions.

To prevent eye damage, wear approved UV safety glasses when there is any chance of looking directly into the (possibly reflected) beam from the UV LED. Proceed similarly with laser diodes, but be sure that the glasses are appropriate for the respective light wavelength.
