This part of IEC 60825 provides manufacturers, test houses, safety personnel, and others
with practical guidance on methods to perform radiometric measurements or analyses to
establish the emission level of laser energy in accordance with IEC 60825-1 (herein referred
to as “the standard”). The measurement procedures described in this technical report are
intended as guidance for classification of laser products in accordance with, that standard.
Other procedures are acceptable if they are better or more appropriate.
Information is provided for calculating accessible emission limits (AELs) and maximum
permissible exposures (MPEs), since some parameters used in calculating the limits are
dependent upon other measured quantities.
This document is intended to apply to lasers, including extended sources and laser arrays.
Users of this document should be aware that the procedures described herein for extended
source viewing conditions may yield more conservative results than when using more rigorous
methods.
NOTE Work continues on more complex source evaluations and will be provided as international agreement on
the methods is reached.
