11 BUNG HOLE LOCATOR LASER WARNINGS
11.1 Laser equipment safety
The CEI EN 60825-1 standard sets the maximum exposure limits for laser radiation. The main
organs at risk are the eyes and skin. An excessive exposure to laser radiation can cause burns
and lesions of the retinal tissue. The situations with the greatest risk are the observation of the
direct beam and the specular reflected beam. The dangerousness of the laser depends on the
wave length, exposure time and type of functioning.
The dispenser, if equipped with the Bung hole locator Laser (B.H.L.), is fitted with a Class 2 laser
in compliance with the applicable standards. Lasers in this class emit radiations in the visible
interval with optical power below 1mW. Accidental exposure is not dangerous for this type of laser
source as the palpebral reflex does not allow for an exposure time greater than 0.25 seconds.
For the user’s safety the following precautions must be adopted.
WARNINGS
 All operators must be instructed on the operations, functioning, risks and safety regulations
of the type of laser used.
 Do not point the beam in eyes and avoid staring at the laser when it is functioning.
 Switch on the laser only to center the can.
 Do not leave the machine with the laser switched on unattended.
 Reference standards
The machine complies to CEI EN 60825-1, EN 61326-1 and EN 61010-1 standards as far as laser
equipment safety is concerned.
11.2 Position of labels
The following warning labels that list the class, type and warnings for the type of laser used, are
applied on the machine in a readable and clearly visible position:
N. Description
1
Laser Danger Label – Triangular warning label with black edging on
a yellow background with the laser symbol.
2
Rectangular information label with black edging and writing on a
yellow background. It indicates the maximum laser radiation power
emitted, the wave length emitted and the name and publishing
date of the standard used to classify the equipment.
