Piper 100 (Class 3R)

The pipe laser built into the product produces a visible laser beam which emerges
from the front window.
The laser product described in this section is classified as laser class 3R in accord-
ance with:
IEC 60825-1 (2014-05): "Safety of laser products"
•
Direct intrabeam viewing may be hazardous (low eye hazard level), in particular
for deliberate ocular exposure. The beam may cause dazzle, flash-blindness and
after-images, particularly under low ambient light conditions. The risk of injury for
laser class 3R products is limited because of:
unintentional exposure would rarely reflect worst case conditions of (e.g.)
a)
beam alignment with the pupil, worst case accommodation,
inherent safety margin in the maximum permissible exposure to laser radi-
b)
ation (MPE)
natural aversion behaviour for exposure to bright light for the case of visible
c)
radiation.
