Mark IEC60825 Part 1 deals solely with lasers. Inparticular the classification limits, labeling requirements, user guide requirements and most importantly, the safe operation procedures. I strongly recommend you read the standard before using a Class 3A Device.
Your whole system should meet either IEC60950 or IEC 61010, depending on its use. Both these standards then call up IEC60825-1 in the relevant section on laser safety. One thing to double check, make sure your Class 3A is tested to IEC60825-1 by an external test house. Not a US produced unit stating it is Class 3A to comply with CFR21 Ch1, 1040.10 (f). Basically the US Class 3A limits are less stringent than the IEC limits Mark Schmidt wrote: > Hello everyone, > > I am new to laser regulation and was wondering if there is such a thing as > your basic open frame power supply meeting the requirements of IEC60825?
