Varnost laserskih izdelkov - Posebne zahteve za laserske izdelke, namenjene potrošniku
Ta dokument podaja definicije in določa posebne zahteve za potrošniške izdelke, ki vsebujejo laserje. Cilj tega dokumenta je zagotoviti varnost laserskih izdelkov, ki so na voljo potrošnikom. Ta dokument določa zahteve, ki dopolnjujejo zahteve v standardu EN 60825-1. Vključeni so laserski izdelki, namenjeni potrošniku, ki se napajajo prek baterije, in tudi laserski izdelki, namenjeni potrošniku, ki se napajajo na druge načine. Zahteve tega dokumenta se navezujejo samo na nevarnosti laserskega sevanja za oči in kožo. Druge nevarnosti ne spadajo na področje uporabe tega dokumenta. Skladnost s tem dokumentom morda ne zadostuje za skladnost z veljavnimi zahtevami glede delovanja in preskušanja drugih veljavnih standardov o varnosti izdelkov. Področje uporabe tega dokumenta ne vključuje laserskih izdelkov, namenjenih potrošniku, ki so zasnovani za projiciranje laserskega sevanja v območju valovne dolžine od 380 nm do 780 nm na mrežnico, s predvidenim trajanjem dnevne uporabe potencialno več ur (na primer za aplikacije navidezne ali obogatene resničnosti), ker trenutno ni mogoče zagotoviti mejnih vrednosti sevanja, ki bi izključevale morebitne škodljive učinke celodnevne uporabe, dan za dnem. OPOMBA 1: Raven sevanja, ki jo dovoljuje razred 1 v območju vidne valovne dolžine, ustvari izjemno svetlo sliko, ki je bleščeča in neprijetna, zato tako visoke ravni sevanja, ki dosega mejne vrednosti razreda 1, ni mogoče razumno predvideti za to vrsto naprave (glej tudi predlog za nove delovne postavke 76/660/NP za projekt IEC/TS 60825-20). Področje uporabe tega dokumenta ne vključuje izdelkov, namenjenih za profesionalno uporabo (profesionalni laserski izdelki, ki niso namenjeni potrošniku), in omejitve, določene v tem dokumentu, ne veljajo za laserske izdelke, ki niso namenjeni potrošniku. Za doseganje potrebne ravni varnosti laserskih izdelkov, ki niso namenjeni potrošniku, zadostuje skladnost s standardom EN 60825-1. Ta dokument določa tudi podskupine laserjev, ki so dovoljeni kot potrošniški izdelki. Omejena skupina laserskih izdelkov razreda 3R je vključena. Tveganje za poškodbe je dovolj nizko, da ga je mogoče sprejeti pod razumno predvidljivimi pogoji uporabe (vključno s predvidljivo nepravilno uporabo) za skladnost z direktivo o splošni varnosti proizvodov (GPSD) in direktivo o nizki napetosti (LVD) za potrošniške izdelke. Električne igrače, ki vsebujejo laserje in so zajete v standardu EN 62115, ne spadajo na področje uporabe tega dokumenta. Laserski izdelki razreda 1C, namenjeni potrošniku, ne spadajo na področje uporabe tega dokumenta. Laserski izdelki razreda 1C za kozmetično in lepotilno nego so na primer zajeti v standardu prEN IEC 60335-2-113:202X1. OPOMBA 2: Nacionalne zahteve so lahko restriktivnejše od zahtev v točkah 6.1 in 6.2.
General Information
Overview
EN 50689:2021 - Safety of laser products - Particular Requirements for Consumer Laser Products (CENELEC/CLC) defines additional safety rules for laser products intended for consumers. It complements EN 60825-1 by specifying classification, labelling, emission limits and user-information requirements tailored to consumer use. The standard focuses on laser radiation hazards to eyes and skin and excludes professional (non‑consumer) lasers, electric toys covered by EN 62115, Class 1C products (e.g., certain cosmetic devices) and long‑duration retinal displays (day‑long AR/VR use).
Key topics and technical requirements
- Scope and intent: Applies to consumer laser products (battery or otherwise powered) and to products likely to be used by the general public. It adds consumer‑specific requirements on top of EN 60825-1:2014 / A11:2021.
- Permitted classes: Consumer devices may be Class 1, Class 2 and a restricted subgroup of Class 3R when not child‑appealing. Class 1C, Class 1M/2M/3B/4 and laser pointers (above certain classes) are restricted or excluded.
- Child‑appealing products: Any product judged to be attractive to children (shape, colours, characters, lights, sounds, etc.) must be Class 1 and meet stricter emission limits. Skin-accessible emissions are measured using a 1 mm aperture and timebases of 10 s (>400 nm) or 1000 s (≤400 nm) to prevent skin/corneal burn hazards.
- Emission measurement limits: The standard specifies worst‑case measurement points (closest human access, smallest beam diameter). For certain UV ranges (180 nm ≤ λ < 315 nm) a specified emission ceiling (as given in the standard) applies to child‑appealing devices.
- Class 3R additional controls: When Class 3R is necessary, the product must not be a laser pointer, include a justification statement in the user information, require a deliberate user action for activation, and provide a clear emission indicator.
- Maintenance & safety: During any user maintenance, access to emissions exceeding the assigned class must not be possible - a more restrictive stance than EN 60825-1 for consumer contexts.
- Labelling and user information: Classification, labelling and instructions follow EN 60825-1 requirements plus the consumer‑focused additions in EN 50689.
Applications and users
- Who uses EN 50689: manufacturers, product safety engineers, compliance officers, test laboratories and certification bodies producing or assessing consumer laser products (e.g., pointers, novelty lights, home-use laser devices).
- Practical use: designing safe consumer laser products, drafting instructions/labels, preparing conformity documentation, and ensuring compliance with EU product safety directives for consumer markets.

1 Scope
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 day-
long 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 non-
consumer 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
1)
beauty care Class 1C laser products are covered by prEN IEC 60335-2-113:202X .
NOTE 2 National requirements can be more restrictive than the requirements in 6.1 and 6.2.

3.3
child appealing consumer laser product
laser product that:
a) resembles, by virtue of its form or design, anything that is commonly recognized as being
appealing to, or intended for use by, children; or
b) has any other feature or characteristic, necessary or not for the function of the product, that is
likely to be appealing to children
A child appealing consumer laser product is a product that is attractive to children due to its
characteristics such as function, movement, colour, characters, sounds, lights, shape, texture, size,
smell or taste
EXAMPLE 1 laser products resembling: e.g. cartoon characters, toys, guns, watches, telephones, musical
instruments, vehicles, human body or parts of the human body, animals, food or beverages
EXAMPLE 2 laser products playing notes (sounds), having flashing lights, moving parts or other entertaining
features
Note 1 to entry: The simple emission of a visible laser beam as such does not make a laser product child
appealing.
Note 2 to entry: “Child appealing” depends on a case-by-case assessment of the child appealing character of the
product, taking into account the specific characteristics of the product in question (see “New Declaration of ADCO
on Child Appealing Appliances, LVDWP/14/4, 15-06-2009).
Note 3 to entry: A normal telephone, mobile phone or tablet is not considered as child appealing; in contrast, a
telephone, mobile phone or tablet that is designed to look like a cartoon character, is considered child appealing.
Also, a product that resembles (but is not) a watch, telephone, musical instrument, etc. is considered as child
appealing.
3.4
laser pointer
laser product promoted and intended as a handheld laser either for entertainment purposes or for
pointing out objects and/or locations
Note 1 to entry: Examples which are not considered as laser pointers are: gunsights, laser levelling devices and
positioning aids, such as in laser distance measurement devices
4 Classification of consumer laser products
Laser products in the scope of this standard shall comply with EN 60825-1:2014 and
EN 60825-1:2014/A11:2021, including classification, labelling and user instructions. As a general
principle, the product shall be in the lowest feasible class commensurate with the intended function.
5 Child appealing consumer laser products
Child appealing consumer laser products that are not electric toys shall be Class 1 laser products. The
classification, engineering, labelling and information for the user requirements of EN 60825-1:2014 and
EN 60825-1:2014/A11:2021 apply.
Additionally, for child appealing consumer laser products, the accessible emission determined at the
closest point of human access and the point of the highest accessible emission (worst case condition
regarding the beam diameter), shall not exceed the maximum permissible exposure values for the skin
as specified in EN 60825-1:2014 and EN 60825-1:2014/A11:2021, Table A.5. The accessible emission
to be compared with the applicable value in Table A.5, given as irradiance or radiant exposure, is to be
determined with a circular averaging aperture (limiting aperture) of 1 mm diameter and with a timebase
of 10 s for wavelengths above 400 nm and a timebase of 1000 s for wavelengths less than and equal
to 400 nm.
NOTE 1 These limits can be seen as dual limits, additional to the AEL of Class 1, to prevent a skin burn hazard
or a corneal burn hazard; the limits are applied as emission limits to ensure product safety, they are not used as
exposure limits.
NOTE 2 Electric toys are not in the scope of this document. Requirements for electric toys incorporating lasers
are specified in EN 62115.
NOTE 3 A flowchart of the requirements of this clause and Clause 6 can be found in Annex A as a simplified
summary.
A laser pointer of any class, other than Class 1, shall not be a child appealing consumer laser product.
The emission of a child appealing consumer laser product, determined at the closest point of human
−2
access or the worst-case position in the beam (smallest beam diameter) shall not exceed 0,001 W∙m
in the wavelength range 180 nm ≤ λ < 315 nm.
Child appealing consumer laser products shall comply with all stated requirements. Child appealing
consumer laser products that do not comply with all stated requirements are considered as unsafe.

Its specific focus on the requirements tailored for consumer laser products distinguishes it from standards applicable to professional use. This delineation is a notable strength, as it ensures that appropriate safety measures are applied based on the intended usage of the products, thereby enhancing consumer protection. The scope of the document explicitly details the exclusions, such as non-consumer laser products, for which compliance with EN 60825 1 suffices for safety standards. By not applying the same restrictions to these products, the standard helps to foster clarity and precision within the regulatory framework, ensuring that manufacturers understand their obligations depending on the classification of the laser products they are producing. Additionally, the exclusion of electric toys containing lasers, guided by EN 62115, further emphasizes the standard's relevance to clear product categories and safety requirements. This specificity ensures that consumers can be confident in the safety of the products they use in their homes without ambiguity regarding compliance issues. Another notable aspect of the SIST EN 50689:2022 standard is the clear delineation of laser classes. Class 1C consumer laser products, particularly those used in cosmetic and beauty care, are referenced to be governed by FprEN 60335 2 113. This specificity within the standard not only enhances its clarity but also provides a pathway for manufacturers to navigate the regulatory landscape without confusion. Overall, the SIST EN 50689:2022 is a vital standard that addresses safety for consumer laser products effectively, illustrating its strengths in delineation, clarity, and targeted focus for consumer safety. Its relevance in the current market landscape cannot be overstated, serving as a crucial guide for manufacturers looking to comply with necessary safety measures for consumer products that utilize laser technology.
Die SIST EN 50689:2022 ist ein bedeutendes Dokument, das spezifische Anforderungen an die Sicherheit von Laserprodukten für Verbraucher definiert. Der Anwendungsbereich dieser Norm ist klar umrissen und umfasst ausschließlich Produkte, die für den Endverbraucher bestimmt sind. Wichtig zu beachten ist, dass Produkte, die für den professionellen Gebrauch konzipiert sind, nicht in den Umfang dieser Norm fallen. Somit sind nicht-konventionelle Laserprodukte von den Einschränkungen dieser Norm ausgeschlossen, was die Klarheit und Anwendbarkeit dieser Regelungen erhöht. Eine der Stärken der SIST EN 50689:2022 liegt in ihrer Fokussierung auf die Sicherheit von Verbraucherlaserprodukten. Durch die präzise Definition, welche Produkte unter diese Norm fallen, wird eine gezielte Sicherheitsbewertung ermöglicht, die sich von den allgemeinen Anforderungen an nicht-verbraucherorientierte Laserprodukte unterscheidet. Dies führt zu einer erhöhten Sicherheit der Verbraucher bei der Nutzung von Lasergeräten im Haushalt und in der Freizeit. Zusätzlich garantiert die Norm, dass spezielle Produkte, wie elektrische Spielzeuge mit Lasern, die unter der EN 62115 fallen, sowie kosmetische Laserprodukte der Klasse 1C, die von der FprEN 60335 2 113 abgedeckt sind, nicht Teil der in der SIST EN 50689:2022 festgelegten Anforderungen sind. Diese Differenzierung stellt sicher, dass Hersteller und Verbraucher klare Richtlinien haben und dass die Sicherheit von Laserprodukten in verschiedenen Anwendungsbereichen angemessen betrachtet wird. Die SIST EN 50689:2022 ist somit von großer Relevanz für die Hersteller von Verbraucherlaserprodukten, da sie klare Sicherheitsanforderungen definiert und gleichzeitig sicherstellt, dass Produkte, die nicht für Verbraucher bestimmt sind, angemessen reguliert werden. Die Norm trägt somit wesentlich zur Sicherheit und zum Schutz der Verbraucher im Umgang mit Laserprodukten bei.
La norme SIST EN 50689:2022 établit des exigences spécifiques pour les produits laser destinés aux consommateurs, ce qui représente une avancée significative dans le domaine de la sécurité des lasers. Cette norme se concentre sur la protection des utilisateurs non professionnels, garantissant ainsi que les produits en question respectent des critères de sécurité appropriés.

Cela permet aux fabricants de mieux comprendre les exigences auxquelles ils doivent répondre sans confusion. De plus, la norme souligne l'importance d’autres documents de référence comme la norme EN 60825-1 pour les produits laser non destinés aux consommateurs, établissant ainsi une hiérarchie claire des exigences de sécurité. Cela renforce la pertinence de SIST EN 50689:2022 dans le cadre d'une réglementation cohérente et rationalisée des produits laser. Enfin, l'exclusion explicite des jouets électriques contenant des lasers, couverts par la norme EN 62115, démontre une attention particulière portée à la sécurité des enfants, ajoutant une couche supplémentaire à la protection des consommateurs. Dans l'ensemble, la norme SIST EN 50689:2022 s'avère être un document essentiel pour assurer la sécurité des produits laser destinés aux consommateurs, en établissant des exigences claires et adaptées. C'est un atout majeur pour le secteur, contribuant à une meilleure compréhension des responsabilités des fabricants et à la protection des utilisateurs finaux.
SIST EN 50689:2022は、消費者向けレーザ製品の安全性に関する特定の要件を規定する標準です。この文書の範囲は消費者を対象としたレーザ製品に限定されており、プロフェッショナル用途の製品（非消費者レーザ製品）は含まれていません。したがって、この標準に示される制限は非消費者レーザ製品には適用されません。 この標準の強みは、消費者レーザ製品に特化した安全要件を明確に定義している点です。これにより、消費者は自ら使用するレーザ製品が安全であることを確認でき、製品選びの際に必要な情報を提供します。特に、消費者向けレーザ製品の特性に基づいた具体的な基準を設けることで、業界全体の製品品質向上にも寄与しています。 また、SIST EN 50689:2022は、特定の用途に応じた柔軟性を持ちつつも、しっかりとした安全基準を確保しているため、市場における関連性が高いと言えます。例えば、クラス1Cの消費者レーザ製品や美容関連のレーザ製品は、FprEN 60335 2 113によって別途規制されているため、本標準が必要な範囲に集中している点も評価されます。 このように、SIST EN 50689:2022は、消費者向けのレーザ製品に関する包括的な安全基準を提供しており、業界にとって不可欠な文書となっています。消費者の利用を前提とした明確なガイドラインが示されているため、消費者や製造業者にとって重要な基準となることが期待されます。
