Laser product classification
Standards compliance
The 1675 LambdaUnite MSS product complies with the applicable IEC standards and the
Food and Drug Administration's Center for Devices and Radiological Health
(FDA/CDRH) regulations.
FDA/CDRH regulations
Laser products are classified in accordance with the FDA/CDRH - 21 CFR 1010 and 1040
standards. The classification scheme is based on the ability of the laser emission to cause
injury to eye or skin during normal operating conditions.
In the United States, lasers and laser systems in the infrared wavelength range (greater
than 700 nm) are assigned to one of the following classes (please also refer to the section
"FDA/CDRH laser classification"
•
Class I,
•
Class IIIb or
•
Class IV.
Laser classification is dependent upon operating wavelength, output power and fiber mode
field diameter (core diameter).
IEC requirements
The International Electro-Technical Commission (IEC) establishes standards for the
electrical and electronic industries. The international standards IEC 60825-Part 1 and 2
have been established for the worldwide safety of laser products.
According to the IEC classification, lasers and laser systems in the infrared wavelength
range (greater than 700 nm) are assigned to one of the following classes (please also refer
to the section
•
Class 1,
•
Class 1M,
•
Class 3R,
•
Class 3B, or
•
Class 4.
