With regards to EN-60825, I would tend to believe (I did not want to say 'assume') that the enforcement parallels the that for CE marking - customs, market surveillance, customer/competitor complaints, etc. In the US I would say it's 'the Feds' - 21CFR 1040 is a 'Code of Federal Regulations'.

Jeffery - I have no answer to the enforcement question for the US, but I suspect it's complaint and incident driven, as the EMC regulations historically have been. For NRTLs, the acceptance of previously certified Class I lasers incorporated into other equipment is based on CDRH Laser Notice

I don't know. That's a very interesting question. For each separate title in the CFRs there's a separate federal enforcement agency. CFR Title 47 Telecommunications is the FCC. CFR Title 29 Labor (or workplace stuff) is OSHA, etc ... and thus CFR Title 21 Food and Drugs is FDA. That's

Don't forget the European Product Liability Directive (85/374/EEC amended by 99/34/EC) and General Product Safety Directive (92/59/EEC). Neither of these require any approvals or markings, but both require that the state of the art in safety engineering is applied, and this implies the use of

I believe that OSHA enforces the CDRH laser safety guidelines in the workplace. I'm not sure about consumer goods...Possibly the Consumer Product Safety Commission? Penalties for non-compliance would be the typical fines, recalls ... handed out by OSHA or CPSC. -Original Message-
