1.6 Laser Classification
1.6.1 General
The following chapters provide instructions and training information about laser safety according
to international standard IEC 60825-1 (2014-05) and technical report IEC TR 60825-14
(2004-02). The information enables the person responsible for the product and the person who
actually uses the equipment, to anticipate and avoid operational hazards.
☞According to IEC TR 60825-14 (2004-02), products classified as laser class 1,
class 2 and class 3R do not require:
•laser safety officer involvement,
•protective clothes and eyewear,
•special warning signs in the laser working area
if used and operated as defined in this User Manual due to the low eye hazard level.
☞National laws and local regulations could impose more stringent instructions for the
safe use of lasers than IEC 60825-1 (2014-05) and IEC TR 60825-14 (2004-02).
1.6.2 Zone80 DG
The rotating laser built into the product produces a visible laser beam which emerges from the
rotating head.
The laser product described in this section is classified as laser class 1 in accordance with:
•IEC 60825-1 (2014-05): “Safety of laser products”
These products are safe for momentary exposures but can be hazardous for deliberate staring
into the beam. The beam may cause dazzle, flash-blindness and after-images, particularly under
low ambient light conditions.
