Lasers and laser-related equipment - Test method and classification for the laser resistance of surgical drapes and/or patient protective covers - Part 1: Primary ignition and penetration (ISO 11810-1:2005)

ISO 11810-1:2005 is applicable to disposable and reusable, as well as woven and non-woven materials used as surgical drapes and other patient protective covers which claim to be laser resistant.
The purpose of ISO 11810-1:2005 is to provide a standardized method for testing and classifying surgical drapes and other patient protective covers with respect to laser-induced hazards. An appropriate classification system is given. It is not the purpose of ISO 11810-1:2005 to serve as a general fire safety specification, and as such, this standard does not cover other sources of ignition. It also does not cover the issue of laser-induced secondary ignition.
All materials reflect portions of the beam and it is necessary for the user to decide whether specular reflectance may be a hazard. This measurement, however, is not covered in ISO 11810-1:2005.

Laser und Laseranlagen - Prüfverfahren und Einstufung zur Laserresistenz von Operationstüchern und/oder anderen Abdeckungen zum Schutz des Patienten - Teil 1: Primäre Entzündung und Laserdurchstrahlung (ISO 11810-1:2005)

Dieser Teil von ISO 11810 gilt für Einwegprodukte und wieder verwendbare gewebte Materialien und Vliesstoffe, die als Operationstücher und andere Abdeckungen zum Schutz des Patienten mit dem Anspruch auf Laserstrahlungsbeständigkeit verwendet werden.
Der Zweck dieses Teils von ISO 11810 ist, ein genormtes Verfahren zur Prüfung und Einstufung von Operationsabdecktüchern und anderen Abdeckungen zum Schutz des Patienten hinsichtlich der durch Laser hervor gerufenen Gefährdungen zur Verfügung zu stellen. Ein geeignetes Einstufungssystem wird angegeben. Der Zweck dieses Teils von ISO 11810 besteht nicht darin, als allgemeine Brandsicher-heitsvorschrift zu dienen, und insofern werden andere Zündquellen von dieser Norm nicht erfasst. Sie behandelt auch nicht das Thema der durch Laser hervorgerufenen sekundären Entzündung.
Alle Materialien reflektieren Anteile des Strahls, und es ist für den Anwender erforderlich, entscheiden zu können, ob die spiegelnde Reflexion eine Gefährdung darstellen kann. Diese Messungen werden jedoch in diesem Teil von ISO 11810 nicht erfasst.

Lasers et équipements associés aux lasers - Méthode d'essai et classification de la résistance au laser pour des draps chirurgicaux et/ou des couvertures de protection des patients - Partie 1: Inflammation primaire et pénétration (ISO 11810-1:2005)

L'ISO 11810-1:2005 s'applique aux matériaux non-réutilisables et réutilisables, ainsi qu'aux matériaux tissés et non tissés utilisés comme draps chirurgicaux ou à d'autres couvertures de protection des patients déclarés résistants au laser.
L'objectif de l'ISO 11810-1:2005 est de fournir une méthode normalisée pour soumettre à essai et classer les draps chirurgicaux et les autres couvertures de protection des patients en fonction des risques liés au laser. Un système de classification approprié est indiqué. L'ISO 11810-1:2005 n'a pas pour objet de servir de spécification générale de sécurité contre le feu et, en tant que telle, elle ne couvre pas d'autres sources d'inflammation, ni l'inflammation secondaire induite par le laser.
Tous les matériaux réfléchissent des portions du faisceau laser et il est nécessaire que l'utilisateur décide si le facteur de réflexion spéculaire peut constituer un risque. Ce mesurage n'est cependant pas couvert par l'ISO 11810-1:2005.

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 11810-1 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 172, Optics and photonics, Subcommittee SC 9,
Electro-optical systems.
This first edition cancels and replaces ISO 11810:2002, which has been technically revised.
ISO 11810 consists of the following parts, under the general title Lasers and laser-related equipment — Test

Introduction
Some laser applications in medicine may require laser-resistant surgical drapes or other patient protective
covers. Surgical drapes or other patient protective covers are necessary when a sterile procedure is
performed and the surrounding area needs to be protected from liquids, secretions and inadvertent laser
radiation. While conventional surgical drapes or other patient protective covers are not necessarily laser-
resistant, specifically designed drapes offer the possibility of laser resistance.
Laser induced risks include ignition, flammability, melting, penetration, thermal transfer and reflectivity. Textile
and non-woven drape materials may have other risks but they may provide a laser barrier. While there are
many potential ignition devices present in the operating room (e.g. fibre optic illumination systems, electro-
surgical units, hot wire cauteries), this t
