Am I correct in understanding that the FDA regulations (21 CFR Part 1040) do
not consider LEDs to be Lasers? A Laser is defined by the FDA to be a device
that has emissions of certain wavelengths "primarily by the process of
controlled stimulated emission." I understand that an LED does not use this
process.

I also understand that the FDA, following the lead of IEC825, once
considered creating performance standards for LEDs but failed to do so. Is
that correct?
