Subject: Re: Lazer Safety List-Post: [email protected] Date: Sat, 25 May 96 11:17:12 -0500 From: Bob Andres <[email protected]> Steve - There are a number of standards concerning the use of lasers. Here are a few that I know of. You may wish to get copies of any of the following: ANSI Z136.1 Laser Standard ANSI B11.21 Laser Machine Tools Standard IEC 825-1 Safety of Laser Products ISO 11252 Lasers and laser related equipment ISO/DIS 11145 Terminology, etc. for testing lasers EN 165 and 166 Personal Eye Protection ISO 11553 / prEN 31553 Laser Processing Machines IEC 825-4 Laser Guards All lasers must comply with 21CFR 1010.10 and 1040.11 - the Radiation Control for Health and Safety Act of 1968. For more information on these Federal Regulations, which are enforced by the FDA, call 301-443-4874, and ask for the Office of Compliance and Surveillance. I hope this is a bit more useful than merely learning that you spelled laser wrong. BOB ANDRES, CSP, CMfgE [email protected]
