Safety of machinery - Laser processing machines - Part 2: Safety requirements for hand-held laser processing devices (ISO 11553-2:2007)

This part of ISO 11553 specifies the requirements for laser processing devices, as defined in ISO 11553-1, which are hand-held or hand-operated. The purpose of this part of ISO 11553 is to draw attention to the particular hazards related to the use of hand-held laser and hand-operated laser processing devices and to prevent personal injury. This includes both the areas of hazard analysis and risk assessment as well as protective measures. Requirements concerning noise as a hazard are not included in this part of ISO 11553. These requirements are to be included in a subsequent amendment. This part of ISO 11553 does not apply to laser products or equipment manufactured solely or expressly for applications which are excluded from the scope of ISO 11553-1.

Sicherheit von Maschinen - Laserbearbeitungsmaschinen - Teil 2: Sicherheitsanforderungen an handgeführte Laserbearbeitungsgeräte (ISO 11553-2:2007)

Dieser Teil der ISO 11553 gilt für Anforderungen an die in ISO 11553 1 definierten Laserbearbeitungsgeräte, die von Hand geführt oder positioniert werden.
Der Zweck dieses Teiles der ISO 11553 besteht darin, die Aufmerksamkeit auf die besonderen Gefährdungen zu richten, die mit der Anwendung von handgeführten und handpositionierten Laserbearbeitungsgeräten verbunden sind und Verletzungen von Personen zu verhindern. Dazu werden sowohl die Bereiche der Gefährdungsanalyse als auch der Risikobewertung sowie Schutzmaßnahmen erfasst.
Anforderungen mit Bezug auf Lärm als Gefährdung werden in diesem Teil der ISO 11553 nicht erfasst. Diese Anforderungen müssen in einer Änderung zu einem späteren Zeitpunkt berücksichtigt werden.
Dieser Teil der ISO 11553 ist nicht auf Laserprodukte oder Einrichtungen anwendbar, die nur oder ausdrücklich für Anwendungen hergestellt werden, die außerhalb des Anwendungsbereichs der ISO 11553 1 liegen.

ISO 11553-2:2007(E)
Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies
(ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO
technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been
established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and
non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the
International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards
adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an
International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
ISO 11553-2 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 172, Optics and photonics, Subcommittee SC 9,
Electro-optical systems.
This first edition, together with ISO 11553-1, cancels and replaces ISO 11553:1996, which has been
technically revised.
ISO 11553 consists of the following parts, under the general title Safety of machinery — Laser processing
machines:
⎯ Part 1: General safety requirements
⎯ Part 2: Safety requirements for hand-held laser processing devices

ISO 11553-2:2007(E)
Introduction
This document is a type C standard as stated in ISO 12100-1:2003.
The machinery concerned and the extent to which hazards, hazardous situations and events are covered are
indicated in the scope of this document. When provisions of this type C standard are different from those
which are stated in type A or B standards, the provisions of this type C standard take precedence over the
provisions of the other standards, for machines that have been designed and built according to the provisions
of this type C standard.
It is applicable to machines using laser radiation to process materials. The purpose of this part of ISO 11553 is
to prevent injuries to persons:
⎯ by listing potential hazards generated by machines containing lasers;
⎯ by specifying safety measures and verifications necessary for reducing the risk caused by specific
hazardous conditions;
⎯ by providing references to pertinent standards;
⎯ by specifying the information which is to be supplied to the users so that they can establish proper
procedures and precautions.
