c. SAFETY INTRUCTIONS FOR LASERS
According to EN/IEC 60825-1 regulations, this laser is classified under 4 class. Direct eye
exposure can be dangerous
This product is a so-called show laser emitting radiation with a wavelength spectrum and producing lasers
for shows.
A laser (Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation) is a device that emits light trough a
process of optical amplification and produce electromagnetic radiation of different wavelengths due to the
controlled stimulated emissions process.
In addition to the secondary effects due to the operating laser conditions, fire risks or burning hazards, the
most important danger comes from the light source. The damages on eyes depend on the laser
wavelengths specifications, the eye distance and the elements linked to the eye specifications. This
danger is amplifies if the laser beams are focused to tiny spots; that is why the effects on eyes are even
more important while using lasers.
3B class can be dangerous under specific conditions
4 class should be ruled under strict safety warnings.
In accordance with French applicable decree n° 2012-1303 dated from November 26, 2012, the use of
lasers above class 2 is restricted to professional activities (light shows, performing arts...).
