John, I tend to agree with you, but I've been fighting regulatory dragon's long enough to know there can sometimes be fine point details or 'special scenarios' I am not aware of. It never hurts only hurts a little to ask.

Little guidance, perhaps, because there is little reason to suppose 'no' is a possible answer.

Does incorporating a barcode scanner (that happens to be a class II laser product) into a piece of industrial machinery (e.g., for the purpose of reading identification tags on work pieces) that otherwise does not contain a laser result in a new, reportable laser product under US CDRH requirements?
