IEC TR 60825-14:2022 This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition published in 2004. This edition constitutes a technical revision.
This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition:
incorporates changes made in IEC 60825-1:2014;
adds information to users of laser equipment on administrative controls to ensure safety in the workplace, including the training and appointment of people to specific laser safety management roles;
updates an approach to risk assessment;
includes updated guidance on the management of incidents and accidents;
includes updated guidance on medical surveillance for laser workers;
includes revised examples of calculations. This document is intended to help laser users and their employers to understand the general principles of safety management, to identify the hazards that can be present, to assess the risks of harm that can arise, and to set up and maintain appropriate control measures. Although the guidance given in this document is aimed principally at organizations (whether private, corporate or public), where systems of safety management would be expected to be in place, it can be applied by anyone using lasers.
Laser control measures vary widely. They depend on the type of laser equipment in use, the task or process being performed, the environment in which the equipment is used and the personnel who are at risk of harm. Specific requirements for certain laser applications are given in other documents in the IEC 60825 series.

This document provides definitions and specifies the particular requirements for consumer products
containing lasers. The objective of this document is to ensure that laser products available to consumers
are safe. This document specifies requirements that are additional to those specified in EN 60825-1.
Consumer laser products that are battery powered are included, as well as consumer laser products
powered by other means.
The requirements of this document are intended to address only the laser radiation hazards to the eyes
and skin. Other hazards are not included within its scope. Compliance with this document may not be
sufficient to conform to the applicable performance and testing requirements of other applicable product
safety standards.
The scope of this document does not include consumer laser products that are designed to project laser
radiation in the wavelength range of 380 nm to 780 nm onto the retina, with an intended daily usage
duration of potentially many hours (such as for virtual reality or augmented reality applications), because
it is currently not possible to provide emission limits that preclude any potential adverse effects for daylong usage, day after day.
NOTE 1 The level of radiation permitted by Class 1 in the visible wavelength range results in an extremely bright
image which will be dazzling and uncomfortable, and therefore such a high emission level, that reaches Class 1
limits, is not reasonably foreseeable for this type of device (see also New Work Item Proposal 76/660/NP for the
project IEC/TS 60825-20).
The scope of this document does not include products intended for professional use (non-consumer
(professional) laser products) and restrictions as specified in this document do not apply to nonconsumer laser products. For non-consumer laser products, compliance with EN 60825-1 is sufficient
to achieve the necessary level of safety.
This document also specifies which subgroups of lasers are permitted as consumer products. A
restricted group of Class 3R laser products are included. The risk of injury is low enough to be accepted
under reasonably foreseeable conditions of use (including foreseeable misuse) for compliance with the
general product safety directive (GPSD) and low voltage directive (LVD) for consumer products.
Electric toys containing lasers, which are covered by EN 62115, are excluded from the scope of this
document.
Class 1C consumer laser products are not in the scope of this document. For example, cosmetic and
beauty care Class 1C laser products are covered by prEN IEC 60335-2-113:202X1).
NOTE 2 National requirements can be more restrictive than the requirements in 6.1 and 6.2.

This document specifies the acceptance tests for verifying the performance of a laser tracker by
measuring calibrated test lengths, according to the specifications of the manufacturer. It also specifies
the reverification tests that enable the user to periodically reverify the performance of the laser tracker.
The acceptance and reverification tests given in this document are applicable to laser trackers utilizing
a retroreflector, or a retroreflector in combination with a stylus or optical distance sensor, as a probing
system. Laser trackers that use interferometric measurement (IFM), absolute distance measurement
(ADM) or both can be verified using this document. This document can also be used to specify and
verify the relevant performance tests of other spherical coordinate measurement systems that use
cooperative targets, such as “laser radar” systems.
NOTE Systems which do not track the target, such as laser radar systems, will not be tested for probing
performance.
This document does not explicitly apply to measuring systems that do not use a spherical coordinate
system. However, interested parties can apply this document to such systems by mutual agreement.
This document specifies:
— performance requirements that can be assigned by the manufacturer or the user of the laser tracker;
— the manner of execution of the acceptance and reverification tests to demonstrate the stated
requirements;
— rules for proving comformity;
— applications for which the acceptance and reverification tests can be used.

This document is applicable to protectors intended to provide protection against accidental exposure to laser radiation within the wavelength range 180 nm to 1 mm. It specifies the requirements, test methods and marking. Protectors intended for adjustment work on lasers are included in the scope of this document and are marked in the same way as other protectors, but selection of appropriate eyewear for a specific application is a choice of the user. Laser protective filters used as viewing windows in laser equipment machinery or incorporated into optical instruments such as operating microscopes and loupes that may be used for deliberate viewing of laser radiation as part of their function are outside the scope of this document.
Laser radiation in the wavelength range below 180 nm is absorbed in air, therefore eye and face protection should not be required.
This document is applicable to devices intended for patient protection during medical laser procedures except for treatment in the periorbital area. Guidance on eye protectors for patients (including those used for periorbital treatment) is given in ISO/TR 22463.

This document specifies measurement procedures for the precise determination of the high reflectance or high transmittance (>99 %) of optical laser components. The methods given in this document are intended to be used for the testing and characterization of high reflectance of both concave and plane mirrors or high transmittance of plane windows used in laser systems and laser-based instruments. The reflectance of convex mirrors or transmittance of positive or negative lenses can also be tested by taking into consideration the radius of curvature of the mirror surface or the focal length of the lens. This document is complementary to ISO 15368 which specifies the measurement procedures for the determination of reflectance and transmittance of optical components with spectrophotometry. ISO 15368 is applicable to the measurements of reflectance and transmittance in the range from 0 % to 100 % with a typical accuracy of ±0,3 %, and is therefore not applicable to the precise measurements of reflectance and transmittance higher than 99,9 %.

IEC 60825-2:2021 provides requirements and specific guidance for the safe operation and maintenance of optical fibre communication systems (OFCSs). In these systems, optical power is possibly accessible outside the confines of the transmitting equipment and/or at great distance from the optical source.
This document requires the assessment of hazard level at each accessible location of the OFCS as a replacement for product classification according to IEC 60825-1. It applies to the installed OFCS as an engineered, end-to-end assembly for the generation, transfer and receipt of optical radiation arising from lasers, light-emitting diodes (LEDs) or optical amplifiers, in which the transference is by means of optical fibre for communication and/or control purposes.
Individual components and subassemblies that fall under the definition of a laser product are subject to the applicable subclause(s) of IEC 60825-1. This document is applicable to individual components and subassemblies intended to be installed within OFCSs.
This document does not apply to optical fibre systems primarily designed to transmit optical power for applications such as material processing or medical treatment.
In addition to the hazards resulting from laser radiation, OFCSs possibly give rise to other hazards, such as fire.
This document does not address safety issues associated with explosion or fire with respect to OFCSs deployed in explosive atmospheres.

IEC 62977-2-1:2021(E) specifies standard measurement conditions and measuring methods for determining the optical characteristics of electronic display modules and systems. These methods apply to emissive and transmissive direct view displays that render real 2D images on a flat panel. This document evaluates the optical characteristics of these displays under darkroom conditions. This document applies to the testing of display performance in response to standard analogue or digital input signals that are not absolute luminance encoded. The input signal is relative RGB without metadata information that codes for real luminance, colour space or colour coordinates. These methods are limited to input signals with typical OETFs such as defined in IEC 61966-2-1, ITU BT. Rec. 601, ITU BT. Rec.709, and ITU BT. Rec.2020. The tests in this document are not approved for use with HDR input signals.
NOTE A flat panel or flat panel display is a display with a flat surface and minimal depth that emits visible light from the surface. The display is subdivided into an array of electronically driven pixels which can be light valves modulating a backlight, or self-luminous. Emissive/transmissive/reflective hybrid displays can be flat panel or flat panel displays.

This part of IEC 61496 specifies requirements for the design, construction and testing of
electro-sensitive protective equipment (ESPE) designed specifically to detect persons as part
of a safety-related system, employing active opto-electronic protective devices (AOPDs) for
the sensing function. Special attention is directed to features which ensure that an
appropriate safety-related performance is achieved. An ESPE can include optional safetyrelated
functions, the requirements for which are given in Annex A of IEC 61496-1:2020 and
of this document.
This document does not specify the dimensions or configurations of the detection zone and its
disposition in relation to hazardous parts for any particular application, nor what constitutes a
hazardous state of any machine. It is restricted to the functioning of the ESPE and how it
interfaces with the machine.
Excluded from this document are AOPDs employing radiation at wavelengths outside the
range 400 nm to 1 500 nm.
This document can be relevant to applications other than those for the protection of persons,
for example, the protection of machinery or products from mechanical damage. In those
applications, additional requirements can be necessary, for example, when the materials that
are to be recognized by the sensing function have different properties from those of persons.
This document does not deal with electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) emission
requirements.

This part of IEC 61496 specifies general requirements for the design, construction and testing
of non-contact electro-sensitive protective equipment (ESPE) designed specifically to detect
persons or part of a person as part of a safety-related system. Special attention is directed to
functional and design requirements that ensure an appropriate safety-related performance is
achieved. An ESPE can include optional safety-related functions, the requirements for which
are given in Annex A.
NOTE "Non-contact" means that physical contact is not required for sensing.
This document is intended to be used with a subsequent part of IEC 61496 that provides
particular requirements based on the sensing technology.
EXAMPLE This document and IEC 61496-2 are used for AOPDs; this document and IEC 61496-3 are used for
AOPDDRs.
Where a part covering the sensing technology does not exist, IEC TS 62998-1 is used.
Where the IEC 61496 series does not contain all necessary provisions, IEC TS 62998-1 is
used.
It is an additional possibility to combine those aspects covered by the IEC 61496 series in
addition to IEC TS 62998-1.
This document does not specify the dimensions or configuration of the detection zone and its
disposition in relation to hazards in any particular application, nor what constitutes a
hazardous state of any machine. It is restricted to the functioning of the ESPE and how it
interfaces with the machine.
While a data interface can be used to control optional safety-related ESPE functions
(Annex A), this document does not provide specific requirements. Requirements for these
safety-related functions can be determined by consulting other standards (for example,
IEC 61508 (all parts), IEC 62046, IEC 62061, and ISO 13849-1).
This document can be relevant to applications other than those for the protection of persons,
for example for the protection of machinery or products from mechanical damage. In those
applications, different requirements can be appropriate, for example when the materials that
have to be recognized by the sensing function have different properties from those of
persons.
This document does not deal with requirements for ESPE functions not related to the
protection of persons (e.g. using sensing unit data for navigation).
This document does not deal with electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) emission
requirements.

IEC 62906-5-6:2020 (E) specifies the standard measurement conditions and measuring methods for determining the optical performance of a projection screen in terms of its photometric characteristics, including screen gain and speckle contrast, from different viewing directions. These methods are only applied for the case in which the projection screen and a laser projector are integrated and used with a fixed configuration as a set to create a real image. Both front and rear projection screens, with a flat surface, are included. This document excludes projection screens which are classified as optically see-through screens, including head-up displays.

IEC 60601-2-22:2019 is available as IEC 60601-2-22:2019 RLV which contains the International Standard and its Redline version, showing all changes of the technical content compared to the previous edition.
IEC 60601-2-22:2019 applies to the Basic Safety and Essential Performance of laser equipment for surgical, therapeutic, medical diagnostic, cosmetic or veterinary applications, intended for use on humans or animals, classified as Laser Product of Class 1C where the Enclosed Laser is of Class 3B or 4, or Class 3B, or Class 4. Medical Electrical Equipment or Medical Electrical Systems which incorporate lasers as sources of energy being transferred to the Patient or animal and where the lasers are specified as above, are referred to as “laser equipment” in this document. Laser Products for these applications classified as a Class 1, Class 1M, Class 2, Class 2M or Class 3R Laser Product, are covered by IEC 60825-1:2014 and by the general standard. If a clause or subclause is specifically intended to be applicable to ME Equipment only, or to ME Systems only, the title and content of that clause or subclause will say so. If that is not the case, the clause or subclause applies to ME Equipment and to ME Systems, as relevant. Hazards inherent in the intended physiological function of laser equipment within the scope of this document are not covered by specific requirements in this document except in 7.2.13, Physiological effects, of the general standard. If the laser equipment is Class 1C according to IEC 60825-1:2014 and is used as a laser appliance in a household, it is covered by IEC 60335-2-113:2016. This fourth edition cancels and replaces the third edition published in 2007 and Amendment 1:2012. This edition constitutes a technical revision. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition:
a) it takes account of IEC 60601-1:2005/AMD1:2012 and IEC 60825-1:2014, which have been published since publication of the third edition;
b) it addresses technical and safety issues which have arisen since publication of the third edition;
c) the scope of this fourth edition differs from the scope of the third edition. It now includes Class 1C laser equipment, as defined in IEC 60825-1:2014, when the Enclosed Laser is Class 3B or 4;
d) LED (light emitting diode) products are now excluded from this document as medical LED products may be covered by IEC 60601-2-57.
