3.3.5 Other Hazards
While most of the hazard comes from laser radiation, there are certain non-beam hazards that
are often associated with use of laser systems. The QUBE Fiber Laser requires mains power
and is water-cooled. Electricity and water, individually or in combination, may create hazards.
It is recommended that the QUBE Fiber Laser should be installed sufficiently far above the
floor to reduce the risk from electricity in the case of flooding: at least 250mm is
recommended.
Mechanical hazards may include moving parts in cutting, welding and material handling
systems.
High temperatures and fire hazards may also result from the operation of Class 4 lasers.
3.4 Compliance
Within the EU, the QUBE Fiber Laser is CE marked and is supplied with a Declaration of
Conformity. The standards which SPI Lasers declares that the QUBE Fiber Laser is in
conformity with, and the directives which SPI Lasers declares that the QUBE Fiber Laser
complies with the requirements of are listed in the Declaration of Conformity.
Within the USA, the QUBE Fiber Laser is shipped with an appropriately completed FDA 2877
form.
It is the responsibility of the Laser Integrator to ensure that the integrated laser system
conforms with the appropriate standards and complies with the appropriate directives.
Nonetheless, many of the electronic and labelling requirements have been incorporated into
the QUBE Fiber Laser to facilitate compliance.
