Eye Safety Standard for IT4000/IT4100 Series Engines
The standard, "IEC 60825-1 Safety of Laser Products"
and LEDs. This depends on how bright the LED is itself, but also how it is arranged in a device. The Standard sets the acceptable
levels of light and testing conditions for the product. This Standard, like many others, is written by a group of technical experts
and undergoes a rigorous approval process prior to adoption. One should also note that the specifics of this Standard assume
exposure conditions and distances that present a worse case operation of the product as compared to the typical and intended
operation of this device. Class 1 instruments are required to carry the following symbol either on the item, or in manuals to
indicate the level of safety when compared against the Standard:
The Standard also recommends that the following be included in user documentation:
"Caution - Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than those specified herein may result in
hazardous radiation exposure."
Note: This warning states that altering the inner parts of the scanner in a way not specified in the user guide may cause light
levels to exceed Class 1 limits. It is not an issue when using a handheld scanner under normal conditions.

Note: This warning states that altering the inner parts of the scanner in a way not specified in the user guide may cause light
levels to exceed Class 2 limits. It is not an issue when using a handheld scanner under normal conditions.
LEDs
The IT4000 and IT4100 engines have no lasers. The IT4000 and IT4100 engines have light emitting diodes (LEDs) that create
the aimer line and illumination. These LEDs are bright, but testing has been done to demonstrate that the engine is safe for its
intended application under normal usage conditions.
