EN60950 specifically references EN 60825-1 for "lasers" which, as you have noted, includes LEDs.
Richard Woods Sensormatic Electronics Tyco International -----Original Message----- From: Scott Lemon [mailto:sle...@caspiannetworks.com] Sent: Wednesday, February 20, 2002 1:01 PM To: Emc-Pstc Board Subject: Safety of Indicating LEDs Hello Group, The scope of EN 60825-1 says LEDs are included whenever the word "laser" is used, meaning they are to be evaluated the same way lasers are. Does this apply to status indicating LEDs (non-lasing)? If so, are manufacturers expected to test every status-indicating LED on the product as if it were a laser? When googling, I came across a reference to a standard IEC/TS 60825-6, "Safety of products with optical sources, exclusively used for visible information transmission to the human eye" (1999-07). Is this the appropriate standard to use when evaluating status-indicating LEDs? If so, how do the requirements/tests compare to that in 60825-1? As far as I can tell, "EN" 60825-6 (if it exists) has not been published in the OJ and therefore cannot be used for presumption of compliance to the LVD. What is the approach for indicating LEDs for EU compliance (CE marking)? Thanks in advance! -- Regards, Scott Lemon CASPIAN NETWORKS sle...@caspiannetworks.com www.caspiannetworks.com ------------------------------------------- This message is from the IEEE EMC Society Product Safety Technical Committee emc-pstc discussion list.
