Laser Safety Regulations
The Spectrum 100 FT-IR and Spectrum 100N FT-NIR spectrometers are CDRH Class I, BS
EN 60825-1/IEC 60825-1 Class 1 laser products. The optical module contains a Class II/2
Helium Neon (HeNe) laser, which emits visible, continuous wave radiation at a
wavelength of 633 nm and has a maximum output power of 1 mW.
Some of the HeNe laser radiation, with a maximum power level of less than
0.39 µW (Class I/Class 1), may be accessed in the sample compartment or a sampling
accessory.
The laser is automatically shut down when the main cover of the instrument is raised.
The instrument complies with the following laser safety regulations:
1. 21 CFR Chapter 1, Subchapter J, “Radiological Health”, Part 1040.10 - administered
by the Center for Devices and Radiological Health, U.S. Department of Health and
Human Services.
2. British Standard BS EN 60825-1 (1994) - “Radiation safety of laser products,
equipment classification, requirements and user’s guide”. BS EN 60825-1
implements CENELEC European Normalization document EN 60825-1 (CENELEC is
the European Committee for Electrotechnical Standardization).
3. IEC Publication 60825-1 (1993) and Amendment 1 – “Safety of laser products – Part
1: Equipment classification, requirements and user’s guide”. (IEC is the
International Electrotechnical Commission. The IEC have renumbered their
standards, IEC Publication 60825-1 was originally IEC Publication 825-1).
