Zohar, My educated guess is that a 200mW (I'm assuming "milli"-Watt not "micro"-Watt) transceiver would have a semiconductor laser source. I wouldn't imagine that it would be an average LED.
>From your subject line, it appears that you believe that your "laser" product is Class 3B. Assuming that all of this is correct; then you have a little bit of work to do for the US market. The US regulations are spelled out in the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR). Specifically CFR Title 21, Part 1040. You can check out the CFR at www.access.gpo.gov/nara The organization that enforces this is the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) specifically the FDA Center for Devices and Radiological Health (FDA/CDRH). The CDRH has a website at: www.fda.gov/cdrh Another document of interest is CDRH "Laser Notice 50" dated 26 July 2001. Laser Notice 50 essentially states that the CDRH will accept the technical aspects of European laser safety as spelled out in EN 60825-1 for laser products. However, you still must report the product to the CDRH. Your email mentioned EN 60825-2 for systems (note the difference between "-1" and "-2") . From the sound of your message, it seems as though EN 60825-1 for products is more appropriate. However, don't let me steer you off course if I've made a bad assumption.
