Laser legal aspects

Country Restrictions Use and certification Responsibility Preamble
EuropeThere is no “problem” to market Class 3R, Class 3B or Class 4
systems for professional use (but it is of course necessary
that the manufacturer provides information for the safe use of
the product and necessary protective measures). These systems
have to be made safe by the specific installation
for professional laser users for instance, mere compliance with
EN 60825-1 (classification as Class 3B or Class 4 and warning
labels) is sufficient, and it is the responsibility of the
installer and event manager to insure that the workers and the
public is safe.
