Laser safety
The provisions contained in two standards defi ne the safety procedures to be
observed both by users and by manufacturers when utilizing laser products:
-
EN 60825-1: 2001 - Safety of laser products – Part 1: Classifi cation of
products, requirements and user guidelines.
-
FDA 21 CFR § 1040.10 - Performance standards for light-emitting
products - Laser products.
Due to the range of possible wavelengths, power values and injection charac-
teristics of a laser beam, the risks inherent in its usage vary. The laser classes
form groups representing different safety thresholds.
-
VFL option: Laser Class 2.
Due to the reduced dimensions of the optical modules, it is not possible to
attach the required warning labels to them. In line with the provisions of Article
5.1 of the EN 60825-1 standard, the laser class identifi cation labels are shown
below:
