International Laser Safety Standards
IEC/TR Laser Product Standards
The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is the authoritative worldwide body responsible for developing consensus global standards in the
electrotechnical field. IEC is dedicated to the harmonization and voluntary adoption of these standards, supporting the transfer of electrotechnology,
assisting certification and promoting international trade. LIA sells the IEC standards relating to lasers. These standards are the definitive guides on
laser safety in Europe and beyond and as such are essential reference material for Laser Safety Officers and laser product designers.

IEC 601-2-22 Ed. 2.0 Medical electrical equipment

IEC 60825-1 Ed. 2.0 Safety of Laser Products Part 1
IEC 60825-12 Ed 1.0

Safety of laser products � Part 12:Safety of free space optical communication systems used for transmission of information.This part of IEC 60825 provides requirements and specific guidance for the manufacture and safe use of laser products and systems used for point-to-point or point-to-multipoint free space optical data transmission. This standard only addresses the open beam portion of the system.
IEC 60825-14 Ed 1.0

Safety of laser products � Part 14:This technical report provides guidance on best practice in the safe use of laser products that conform to IEC 60825-1. This technical report is intended to help laser users and their employers to understand the general principles of safety management (Clause 3), to identify the hazards that may be present (Clauses 4 to 6), to assess the risks of harm that may arise (Clause 7), and to set up and maintain appropriate control measures.
IEC 60825-2 Ed. 3.1 b:2007

Provides requirements and specific guidance for the safe operation and maintenance of optical fibre communication systems (OFCS). In these systems optical power may be accessible outside the confinements of transmitting equipment or at great distance from the optical source. This standard requires the assessment of hazard levels at accessible locations as a replacement for classification according to IEC 60825-1. It
IEC 60825-3 Ed. 1.0 Safety of Laser Products Part 3
IEC 60825-4 Amendment 1 Ed. 2.0 (Addition to Pub 224)
This amendment includes updated references and the addition of Annex G, which addresses the arrangement, installation and use of guided beam delivery systems. This annex applies to the protective measures implemented to protect personnel against laser radiation hazards for guided beam delivery systems after the output coupler and/or the protective housing of the laser product (the requirements of which are specified in IEC 60825- 1).
IEC 60825-4 Ed. 2.0

Specifies the requirements for laser guards, permanent and temporary (for example for service), that enclose the process zone of a laser processing machine, and specifications for proprietary laser guards.
