Safety of laser products - Particular Requirements for Consumer Laser Products
This document specifies the requirements for laser products intended for consumers. The scope of this document does not include products intended for professional use (non-consumer laser products) and restrictions as specified in this standard do not apply to non-consumer laser products. For non-consumer laser products, compliance with EN 60825 1 is sufficient to achieve the necessary level of safety. 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 FprEN 60335 2 113.

Sécurité des appareils à laser - Exigences génériques relatives aux appareils à laser destinés au grand public
Le présent document spécifie les exigences relatives aux appareils à laser destinés au grand public. Le domaine d'application du présent document ne comprend pas les appareils destinés à un usage professionnel (appareils à laser non destinés au grand public) et des restrictions telles que spécifiées dans la présente norme ne s'appliquent pas aux appareils à laser non destinés au grand public S'agissant des appareils à laser non destinés au grand public, la conformité à l'EN 60825 1 est suffisante pour atteindre le niveau nécessaire de sécurité. Les jouets électriques comportant des lasers, qui sont couverts par l’EN 62115, sont exclus du domaine d’application du présent document. Les appareils à laser de Classe 1C destinés au grand public ne relèvent pas du domaine d'application du présent document. Par exemple, les appareils à laser de Classe 1C destinés aux soins cosmétiques et esthétiques sont couverts par le FprEN 60335 2 113.

21 This document prEN 50689:2018 has been prepared by CLC/TC 76 "Optical radiation safety and laser
22 equipment".23 This document is currently submitted to the Enquiry.
24 The following dates are proposed:
• latest date by which the existence of this (doa) dor + 6 months
document has to be announced at national
level
• latest date by which this document has to be (dop) dor + 12 months
implemented at national level by publication of

33 1 Scope
34 This document specifies the requirements for laser products intended for consumers. The scope of this
35 standard does not include products intended for professional use (non-consumer laser products). That
36 is, non-consumer (professional) laser products are not in the scope of this standard and restrictions as
37 specified in this standard do not apply to non-consumer (professional) laser products.
38 For non-consumer laser products, compliance with EN 60825-1 is sufficient to achieve the necessary
39 level of safety.40 Electric Toys containing lasers, which are covered by EN 62115, are excluded from the scope of this
41 standard.42 Class 1C consumer laser products are not in the scope of this standard. For example, cosmetic and
43 beauty care Class 1C laser products are covered by EN 60335-2-113.44 2 Normative references
45 The following documents are referred to in the text in such a way that some or all of their content
46 constitutes requirements of this document. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For
47 undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies.

56 child appealing laser
57 laser product, including any accessory which can be incorporated later or any attachment which can be
58 fixed later, that resembles by any means another object commonly recognised as appealing to or
59 intended for use by children younger than 51 months, or has entertaining audio effects or animated
60 effects and may resemble cartoon characters, toys, guns, watches, telephones, musical instruments,
61 vehicles, human body or parts of the human body, animals, food or beverages, or play musical notes,
62 or have flashing lights or moving objects or other entertaining features63 Note 1 to entry: The emission of a laser beam alone does not make a laser product child appealing.
64 Note 2 to entry: "Child appealing" depends on a case-by-case assessment of the child appealing character of the
65 product, taking into account the specific characteristics of the product in question (see “New Declaration of ADCO
66 on Child Appealing Appliances, LVDWP/14/4, 15-06-2009).67 3.2
68 consumer laser product
69 product or assembly of components that constitutes or incorporates a laser or laser system and that is
70 intended for consumers, or is likely to be used by consumers under reasonably foreseeable conditions
71 even though it is not intended for them---------------------- Page: 6 ----------------------

74 laser product promoted and intended as a handheld laser either for entertainment purposes or pointing
75 out objects and/or locations76 4 Classification of laser products
77 Laser products in the scope of this standard shall comply with EN 60825-1, including classification,
78 labelling and user instructions.79 As a general principle, the product shall be in the lowest feasible class commensurate with the intended
80 function.81 5 Child appealing laser products
82 Child appealing laser products that are not Electric Toys shall be Class 1 laser products.
83 NOTE: Electric Toys are not in the scope of this standard. Requirements for Electric Toys incorporating lasers are

86 6.1 Generic requirement for consumer laser products
87 Consumer laser products shall be Class 1 or Class 2 except as provided in 6.2.
88 NOTE: Class 1C laser products are not in the scope of this standard, see scope.
89 6.2 Speciality products requiring a risk analysis90 When the specific application of the consumer laser product requires higher laser classes than specified
91 in 6.1, i.e. higher than Class 1 or Class 2, the following requirements shall be met.
92 If one or more of the requirements below is not met, then the product shall not be a consumer laser
93 product:94 a) The laser product shall not be child appealing, i.e. higher classes are permitted only for a product that
95 is not child appealing;96 b) The laser product shall not be a laser pointer, i.e. higher classes are not permitted for a product when
97 it is a laser pointer;98 NOTE 1: Laser pointers that exceed Class 2 are associated with a higher risk of causing temporary visual
99 disturbance effects. When persons who are undertaking safety critical tasks, such as driving a car, are exposed to
