Israel, Get yoursel;f a copy of EN 60825 (IEC 825) . . . that is a Laser Safety specifications and provides guidance on permissible limits for various wavelengths . . . Additionally, if you intend to ship to the US, reference 21 CFR 1040 (United States 'Code of Federal Regulations'). The CDRH (Center for Devices & Radiological Health - an office of the FDA) is responsbile for compliance of laser products in the US. Here's the link for the CDRH and 21 CFR 1040

Can some comment on this ? Can Infrared radiation (not Laser) be hazardous ? Obviously, high enough IR intensity should be hazardous. As the eye may not blink under exposure to IR (as the eye can not see it) the natural eye protection mechanism may not function. Any standards, guidelines available for permissible exposure limits to Infra red radiation ? Many thanks to every contribution ! with Best Regards, Israel Yeshurun. CreoScitex.
