Charlie:
Yes, there is a cost effective alternate option for Class 1 laser certification. FDA does not object testing to IEC 60825-1 (Laser Notice No.50) instead of 21 CFR 1040.10 (ANSI Z136.1) http://www.fd .gov/MedicalDevices/DeviceRegulationand uidance/GuidanceDocuments/ucm094361.htm For USA market, laser product should be tested by recognized NRTL to applicable OSHA standards, not to UL requirements. Don’t argue with UL. Use another NRTL: http://www.osha.gov/dts/otpca/nrtl/nrtllist.html Submit to TUV Product Service for testing to UL/CSA 60950-1, EN 60950-1 and EN 60825-1 (IEC 60825-1) for one genuine TUV CUE mark recognized for USA (NRTL), Canada (CSA) and EU: http://www.tuvamerica.com/services/electrical/cue.cfm Best regards, Samuel ________________________________ From: emc-p...@ieee.org [mailto:emc-p...@ieee.org] On Behalf Of Charlie Blackham Sent: Thursday, April 01, 2010 8:07 AM To: 'EMC-PSTC' Subject: UL60950-1 requirements for lasers Group Have a piece of UL60950-1 telecoms equipment containing a laser: The laser has 3rd party report to IEC60825 Given the accepted similarities between 21CFR1040 and IEC60825 as detailed in FDA Laser Notice 50 - has anyone successfully used “an IEC60825 report and laser Notice no.50” to meet this requirement for UL?
