Group, Amendment 2 (2001) to EN60825 Safety of laser products, has changed some laser classifications. The amendment has included new classifications 1M, 2M and 3R. Class 1M and 2M include in their definitions " For diverging beams if the user places optical components within 100mm from the source to concentrate the beam..." What is the rational of adding these classifications? What is an example of a product that would use this technology? Why did the IEC choose the letters "M" and "R" for these new classifications?
All responses are greatly appreciated.
