CE Compliance

For European customers who require a CE-approved laser system, Thorlabs certifies that our laser heads
and lab power supplies meet the appropriate CE requirements. In order for the CE regulations to be met,
all Thorlabs power supplies must be used with an input line cord with a length of less than three meters.
The factory-included line cord has a length of approximately two meters. Other cords may be used, but
they must have a length of no longer than three meters in order for the laser system to remain CE
compliant.
