1212..1212..11 Laser Safety ClassificationsLaser Safety Classifications
Class 1 and 1M indicate the danger degree of the laser radiation specified
below according to IEC 60825-1:2007.
Class 1:
Lasers that are safe under reasonably foreseeable conditions of operation,
including the use of optical instruments for intrabeam viewing.
Class 1M:
Lasers emitting in the wavelength range from 302.5 to 4000 nm that are safe
under reasonably foreseeable conditions of operation, but may be hazardous
if the user employs optics within the beam. Two conditions apply:
a. for diverging beams, if the user views the laser output with certain
optical instruments (for example, eye loupes, magnifiers and
microscopes) within a distance of 100 mm;
or,
b. for collimated beams, if the user views the laser output with certain
optical instruments (for example, telescopes and binoculars).
WARNINGWARNING
The laser in the plug-in unit provided for this equipment is classified as Class 1
according to the IEC 60825-1:2007 standard, and is safe under reasonably
foreseeable operating conditions.
Never use optical instruments to directly view Class 1M laser products. Doing
so may result in serious damage to the eyes.
CAUTIONCAUTION
Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than those
specified herein may result in hazardous radiation exposure.
