6.6.1 General
General
The following chapters provide instructions and training information for the
safe use of lasers according to international standard IEC 60825-1 (2007-03)
and technical report IEC TR 60825-14 (2004-02). The information enables the
person responsible for the product and the person who actually uses the equip-
ment, to anticipate and avoid operational hazards.
The person responsible for the product must ensure that everyone under-
stands the instructions and adheres to them.
According to IEC TR 60825-14 (2004-02), products classified as laser
class 1, class 2 and class 3R do not require:
•
mandatory involvement of a laser safety officer,
•
protective clothes and eyewear,
•
special warning signs in the laser working area
due to the low level eye hazard and if used and operated as defined in
this User Manual.
National laws and local regulations could impose more stringent instruc-
tions for the safe use of lasers than IEC 60825-1 (2007-03) and
IEC TR 60825-14.
