General
The following chapters provide instructions and training information about
laser safety according to international standard IEC 60825-1 (2014-05) and
technical report IEC TR 60825-14 (2004-02). The information enables the
person responsible for the product and the person who actually uses the
equipment, to anticipate and avoid operational hazards.

According to IEC TR 60825-14 (2004-02), products classified as
laser class 1, class 2 and class 3R do not require:
laser safety officer involvement
•
protective clothes and eyewear
•
special warning signs in the laser working area
•
if used and operated as defined in this User Manual due to the
low eye hazard level.
☞

gent instructions for the safe use of lasers than IEC 60825-1
(2014-05) and IEC TR 60825-14 (2004-02).

These products are safe for momentary exposures but can be hazardous for
deliberate staring into the beam. The beam may cause dazzle, flash-blind-
ness and afterimages, particularly under low ambient light conditions.
