Safety of Laser Light
3.1.1 Safety of the Laser Unit
The radiation from a laser until can be harmful to the human body. The machine’s laser
optical unit is sealed by means of a protective housing and external covers, so that the light

used under normal conditions.
3.1.2 CDRH Requirements
The Center for Devices and Radiological Health (CDRH) of the US Department of Health
and Human Services put into force a set of requirements with a view to regulating laser-re-
lated products on August 2, 1976. The requirements apply to laser products produced on
August 1, 1996, or later, and all laser products must comply with them if they are to be mar-
keted in the US. The following is the label that indicates the compliance with the CDRH re-
quirements, and it must be attached to all laser products that are sold in the US.
