Uncontrolled reflected radiation of laser products must be avoided, specular or reflective objects or
areas must be kept out of the laser beam, they must be removed or covered.
In order to protect from dangerous reflections, tools, accessory and adjustment devices being used in
the laser area should not have specular surfaces and people in the laser area should not wear
specular objects.
The laser saftey area must be safely shielded from the audience area, e. g. by a higher stage area
(minimum height: 0.8 metres) or grids. The safety distance between the laser saftey area and the
audience area must be 1 metre to the sides. The distance from the lowest point of audience area to
the top must be 2.70 metres at least.
If walls are used for shielding laser areas, walls made of brick, limestone or concrete are considered
as suitable. Other shieldings may also be used if they comply with the
requirement of E DIN EN 12 254.
2.6.1
Announcement of the Laser Show
Each
laser show must be announced to the responsible professional association and to the trade
supervisory board and must be permitted by them.
If a laser show is performed outdoor, it must be also announced to the air traffic control or to the
public order office.
2.7
Control Units
The control units of a show laser must be outside the laser saftey area and the complete laser saftey
area must be visible from this point. The laser product may only be accessible by authorized persons.
The show laser must never be operated unsupervised. During a show, the laser product must never
be repaired or adjusted in a way that the laser beam is corrected.
Outside the area where the laser show takes place, the beam must be interrupted close to the laser
or it must be shut off. After moderations that might affect the safety of the show laser system (like
changing the path of the beams) it is necessary to have the system checked by experts again.
The system must be protected against unauthorized starting or operating. If the system is not in
operation, it must be ensured that the key of the system is taken off and kept safely.
Before the audience arrives, it is absolutely essential to check if every single beam still meets its
reflection mirrors (beam trajectory according to the expert). An adjustment might be required.
