This part of IEC 60825 specifies the requirements for laser guards, permanent and temporary
(for example for service), that enclose the process zone of a laser processing machine, and
specifications for proprietary laser guards.
This standard applies to all component parts of a guard including clear (visibly transmitting)
screens and viewing windows, panels, laser curtains and walls. Requirements for beam path
components, beam stops and those other parts of a protective housing of a laser product
which do not enclose the process zone are contained in IEC 60825-1.
In addition this part of IEC 60825 indicates:
a) how to assess and specify the protective properties of a laser guard; and
b) how to select a laser guard.
