Dear group, FYI:
For reason of consumer protection, laser pointers of class 3 and higher, according to EN60825-1, are banned for a period of one year from the Belgian market. Products already in commerce should be removed from the stores. This ruling was published on 16 September 1998 in the official "Belgisch Staatsblad - Moniteur Belge" by Ministrial Decree No. 98-2461. Are there any other countries that also have a ban on the sales of laser pointers of class 3 and higher? Jean-Marie Vandenbulcke Snr. Product Safety and Compliance Engineer.
