2.2.6 Laser Technical Data and Safety Hazard
Calculations
Relevant laser specifications for the product are indicated in Table 6 [▶32].
The site Laser Safety Officer (LSO) will need to identify the maximum permissible
exposure and the hazard distances in order to determine what PPE, guards and
other safety procedures are required to be able to safely operate the product
within the Laser Controlled Area (LCA).
• Refer to Table 7 [▶33] for listing of key laser safety terms and their definitions.
• Refer to Table 8 [▶34] for calculated MPE’s, NOHD and NHZ. There are separate
values specified for eye and for skin.
In the EU: Refer to Directive 2006/25/EC and TROS Laser Radiation.

1.
Continuous Wave (CW): Laser emits a continuous and steady emission output (i.e.
emission is not pulsed). The optical power is constant with time.
2.
High Peak Power (HPP): HPP laser mode enables a CW laser to operate in pulsed
mode but with an increased peak power compared to the average power in CW
mode.
