Guidelines
In designing a laser product, manufacturers must first determine
what level of accessible radiation is required to perform the neces-
sary function of the product. Laser radiation which is not necessary
must be eliminated or contained within a protective housing (in the
EC all radiation must be inaccessible).
Manufacturers must then determine the Class of their product
according to the highest level of radiation accessible during opera-
tion. The Class of the product determines the requirements for
controls, indicators, labels, warnings and literature statements. The
wording of any warning is determined by the injury causing poten-
tial of the accessible laser radiation.
