DS DSEN 60825-1 2007-DEC-04 Safety of laser products - Part 1 Equpment classfcaton and requrements
This part of 60825 is applicable to safety of laser products emitting laser radiation in the wavelength
range 180 nm to 1 mm.
A laser product may consist of a single laser with or without a separate power supply or may
incorporate one or more lasers in a complex optical, electrical, or mechanical system. Typically,
laser products are used for: demonstration of physical and optical phenomena, materials
processing, data reading and storage, transmission and display of information, etc. Such
systems have found use in industry, business, entertainment, research, education, medicine and
consumer products.
Laser products that are sold to other manufacturers for use as components of any system for
subsequent sale are not subject to 60825-1, since the final product will itself be subject to
this standard. However, if the laser system within the laser product is operable when removed
from the equipment, the requirements of this Part 1 shall apply to the removable unit.
