European Union (EU) requirements
RoHS compliance
Novanta lasers meet the requirements of the European Parliament and Council Directive 2015/863/EU
on the Restriction of the Use of Certain Hazardous Substances in Electrical and Electronic Equipment
that establishes maximum concentration values for certain hazardous substances in electrical and
electronic equipment.
Laser safety standards
Under the Low Voltage Directive, 2014/35/EU, the International Standard specifies the minimum
documentation, marking and labeling for all laser products classified in accordance with IEC 60825-1:2014
(hereafter referred to as EN 60825-1) including laser diodes and all laser devices defined in ISO 11145 was
developed to provide laser safety guidance and includes clauses on Engineering Specifications, Labeling, Other
Informational Requirements, Additional Requirements for Specific Laser Products, Classification, and
Determination of the Accessible Emission Level. To develop a risk assessment plan/laser safety program for
users, see the EN 60825-14:2004 Standard for the safety of laser products that includes clauses on Adminis-
trative Policies, Laser Radiation Hazards, Determining the MPE, Associated Hazards, Evaluating Risk, Control
Measures, Maintenance of Safe Operation, Incident Reporting and Accident Investigation, and Medical
Surveillance
.
OEM models
OEM lasers are OEM products intended for incorporation as components in laser processing systems. As
supplied by Novanta, these lasers do not meet the requirements of EN 60825-1 without additional
safeguards. European Union Directives state that “OEM laser products which are sold to other
manufacturers for use as components of any system for subsequent sale are not subject to this
Standard, since the final product will itself be subject to the Standard.” This means that Buyers of OEM
laser components are solely responsible for the assurance that the laser processing system sold to an
end-user complies with all laser safety requirements before the actual sale of the system. Note that when
an OEM laser component is incorporated into another device or system, the entire machinery installation
may be required to conform to EN 60825-1:2004, EN 60204-1:2016, Safety of Machinery; the Machinery
Directive, 2006/42/EC; and/or any other applicable Standards and in cases where the system is being
imported into the U.S., it must also comply with CDRH regulations.
In cases where the Buyer is also the end-user of the OEM laser product, the Buyer/end-user must
integrate the laser so that it complies with all applicable laser safety standards as set forth above. Table
1, Class 4 safety features, summarizes product features, indicating the type and description of features
and whether those features are required by European Union regulations.
Electromagnetic interference standards
Novanta lasers have demonstrated performance characteristics that have met or exceeded the
requirements of EMC Directive 2014/30/EU. The European Union’s Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC)
Directive, 2014/30/EU, is the sole Directive developed to address electromagnetic interference (EMI)
issues in electronic equipment. In particular, the Directive calls out European Norm (EN) documents that
define the emission and immunity standards for specific product categories. For lasers, EN 61000-6-
4:2018 defines radiated and conducted RF emission limits while EN 61000-6-2:2016 defines immunity
standards for industrial environments.
