Safety of laser products - Particular Requirements for Consumer Laser Products
This document provides definitions and specifies the particular requirements for consumer products
containing lasers. The objective of this document is to ensure that laser products available to consumers
are safe. This document specifies requirements that are additional to those specified in EN 60825-1.
Consumer laser products that are battery powered are included, as well as consumer laser products
powered by other means.
The requirements of this document are intended to address only the laser radiation hazards to the eyes
and skin. Other hazards are not included within its scope. Compliance with this document may not be
sufficient to conform to the applicable performance and testing requirements of other applicable product
safety standards.
The scope of this document does not include consumer laser products that are designed to project laser
radiation in the wavelength range of 380 nm to 780 nm onto the retina, with an intended daily usage
duration of potentially many hours (such as for virtual reality or augmented reality applications), because
it is currently not possible to provide emission limits that preclude any potential adverse effects for daylong
usage, day after day.
NOTE 1 The level of radiation permitted by Class 1 in the visible wavelength range results in an extremely bright
image which will be dazzling and uncomfortable, and therefore such a high emission level, that reaches Class 1
limits, is not reasonably foreseeable for this type of device (see also New Work Item Proposal 76/660/NP for the
project IEC/TS 60825-20).
