New Wave Research suggests that laser users purchase a copy of the
American National Standard for the Safe Use of Lasers (ANSI Z136.1-
1993). This publication provides recommendations for the safe use of
lasers and laser systems that operate at wavelengths between 180 nm and
1 mm. The publication is available from:
Laser Institute of America
12424 Research Parkway, Suite 125
Orlando, FL 32826

The governmental standards and regulations specify that the laser must
be classified according to the output power or energy and the laser
wavelength. The Tempest is classified as Class IV based on 21 CFR,
subchapter J, part II, section 1040-10 (d). According to the European
Community standards, the Tempest is classified as Class IV based on EN
60825-1, clause 9. This manual and other documentation for the
Tempest will refer to the classification as Class 4.
Refer to Figures 1-1 through 1-7 for the location of all labels for the
Tempest laser system. The labels are for safety, certification and
identification, and a copy of each label is shown in the following figures.
