La norme SIST EN 12254:2010/AC:2012 établit des exigences fonctionnelles ainsi que des directives d'étiquetage des produits applicables aux écrans de protection passive contre les radiations laser. Son champ d'application se concentre sur la protection des utilisateurs en prévenant l'exposition non intentionnelle à des radiations laser directes ou diffuses, et en réglementant les expositions limitées dans le temps à cette radiation. Les forces de cette norme résident dans sa définition claire des méthodes d'essai pour évaluer la performance fonctionnelle des écrans. En intégrant des exigences spécifiques en matière de documentation utilisateur à fournir avec le produit, elle garantit également que les utilisateurs disposent des informations nécessaires pour manipuler les écrans de manière sécurisée. La pertinence de cette norme se manifeste particulièrement dans les environnements de travail où le laser est utilisé, notamment dans les installations où des radiations de jusqu'à 100 W de puissance moyenne ou une énergie de pulsation de 30 J sont présentes. En fournissant des directives sur la sélection appropriée des écrans, la norme contribue significativement à la sécurité des opérations de travail impliquant des radiations laser, tout en veillant à ce que des risques additionnels, liés à des radiations secondaires, ne soient pas ignorés. Il est essentiel de noter que cette norme ne couvre pas les risques d'autres dangers, tels que ceux liés aux radiations secondaires générées durant le traitement de matériaux. En cela, elle reste un document central pour la sécurité des lieux de travail exposés aux radiations laser tout en délimitant clairement son domaine d'application. Les enclosures et housses de laser qui font partie intégrante du produit laser sont également exclues du champ d’application de cette norme, ce qui permet de se concentrer sur les aspects essentiels de la protection passive.
