Class 3B Lasers

In addition to comprehensive laser safety training and consulting services, Laser Safety Consulting also provides laser certification services for manufacturers of laser systems. Complying with government standards of laser certification is extremely important, both from a business and a safety standpoint. Class 3B lasers may present only a moderate risk to eyes and a low risk to skin, but if they are incorrectly classified, they can cause a safety hazard. Manufacturers of laser products are required to meet specific standards when classifying their laser products. Lasers are classified in relation to how much of a safety risk they pose, so Class 1 lasers, for instance, present a much lower risk than Class 3B lasers. Standards for certification and classification are listed in detail in the Federal Laser Product Performance Standard (21 CFR Parts 1040.10 and 1040.11), and Laser Safety Consulting helps manufacturers meet all the requirements in this standard.It is vitally important for manufacturers to correctly classify their laser products so that the appropriate safety measures can be taken on-site. A Class 3B laser, for instance, requires the use of safety goggles by employees within the laser controlled area. In addition to safety training, companies must also post the correct type of signs in laser controlled areas. Through their certification and consulting services, Laser Safety Consulting makes sure companies know the exact sign specifications they must meet.As a laser product manufacturer, your business depends upon the ability to provide accurate information in each Laser Product Report you complete. Laser Safety Consulting can help you every step of the way. To contact Laser Safety Consulting, please call 262-968-5443 or 262-370-2454.
