In Europe, all optical GLMs, GBICs, 1x9 and small form factor transceivers sold
by Emulex are certified as Class 1 laser component assemblies that conform to
the requirements contained in the CENELEC (European Committee for
Electrotechnical Standardization) standard EN60825−1:1994 (including
amendment 11) and EN60825−2:1994. GLMs, GBICs, 1x9 and small form factor
transceivers are certified by a recognized European testing agency and have
appropriate markings on the assembly. The DHHS conformity label and
European conformity mark will not be visible externally once the optical GLM,
GBIC, 1x9 or small form factor transceiver is connected to or inserted in the host
adapter and the adapter is installed into a system.
Labeling Requirements
No caution or danger labels are required for use of the GLM, GBIC, 1x9 or small
form factor transceiver since they are Class 1 laser component assembly. In the
U.S., the only laser safety label required is the DHHS certification label that
already appears on the GLM, GBIC, 1x9 and small form factor transceiver. In
Europe, the EN60825−1/EN60825−2 standards require that the system−level
product has a Class 1 information label permanently attached and clearly visible
whenever access to the GLM, GBIC, 1x9 and small form factor transceiver
optical port is possible. Each Class 1 product shall have affixed an explanatory
label bearing the words:
Alternatively, at the discretion of the manufacturer, the same statement may be
included in user information. If a label is used, an example of the IEC Class 1
information label that is suitable for most European countries is shown below.
The label consists of black printing on a white background. Languages
represented on this label are English, German, Finnish and French, and they
represent the minimum set for acceptance of a Class 1 product in most European
countries.
