Hello Group, There was a lot of good dialog recently regarding laser safety. Thanks to all that participated!!!!
Questions: Who enforces the FDA CDRH 1040.1 laser safety standards in the US? How is it enforced? What are the penalties for noncompliance? Who enforces the IEC or EN 60825 laser safety standards in Europe / Globally? How is it enforced? What are the penalties for noncompliance? My questions are stemming from the Class 1 or 1M laser safety requirements particularly in Telecom networks. Some NRTL's and CAB's do not require or do not enforce their clients doing a submittal ( To the FDA ) for installing these types of laser products in your equipment. Their decision was based on your company using a class 1 laser that carries a current NRTL / CAB safety certification which was not modified from it's original design when installed into your products.
