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.

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

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
