Laser Safety Requirements
Laser Classification
Allot Equipment and components equipped with laser devices described in this
manual comply with IEC 60825-1: 2007 and FDA CDRH 21CFR - Safety of Laser
Products. They also comply with UL / IEC 60950-1 2nd Edition
All the SFP+ modules that are used in the equipment are Class 1 Laser Products.
As long as the Equipment is operated in accordance with the applicable safety
instructions, the Hazard Level in Equipment access locations is inherently Class 1.
Allot provides product and installation information in order that the products may
be installed and serviced safely.
Laser Information
See the System Specifications for information regarding the laser transmitters of
the various optical cards available for the platform.
Laser Safety Statutory Warning
All personnel involved in Equipment installation, operation, and maintenance must
be aware that laser radiation is invisible. Therefore, although protective devices
generally prevent direct exposure to the beam, personnel must strictly observe the
applicable safety precautions and, in particular, must avoid staring into optical
connectors, either directly or using optical instruments.
Remember that observing safety precautions is not a matter of personal choice:
ignoring safety puts all the people within line of sight in danger!
Training for Laser Safety
Personnel must be trained for safety before being authorized to operate, install,
and/or maintain laser products. The IEC 60825 standards require organizations to
appoint a laser safety officer who is responsible for training personnel, establishing
safe operational procedures, and supervising the implementation of these
procedures during routine work.
Untrained personnel must not be allowed to operate, install, and/or maintain laser
products.
