Jeffery - I have no answer to the enforcement question for the US, but I suspect it's complaint and incident driven, as the EMC regulations historically have been.
For NRTLs, the acceptance of previously certified Class I lasers incorporated into other equipment is based on CDRH Laser Notice 42, available as a part of all Laser Notices at http://www.fda.gov/cdrh/radhlth/pdf/laspol01.pdf Links to other useful information is available at http://www.fda.gov/cdrh/radhlth/index.html Regards, Peter L.
