IEC 60825-1:20 14适用于发射波长范围为180nm至1mm的激光辐射的激光产品的安全性。激光产品可以由具有或不具有单独电源的单个激光器组成，或者可以在复杂的光学、电气或机械系统中结合一个或多个激光器。通常，激光产品用于物理和光学现象的演示、材料加工、数据读取和存储、信息的传输和显示等。这种系统已经在工业、商业、娱乐、研究、教育、医学和消费产品中得到应用。出售给其他制造商用作后续销售的任何系统组件的激光产品不受IEC 60825-1的约束，因为最终产品本身将受该标准的约束。由终端产品制造商销售或为终端产品制造商销售的用作终端产品维修部件的激光产品也不受IEC 60825-1的约束。然而，如果激光产品内的激光系统在从最终产品移除时是可操作的，则本第1部分的要求适用于可移除的激光系统。IEC 60825本部分的目标是: -引入根据光辐射危害程度对发射波长范围为180nm至1mm的激光和激光产品进行分类的系统，以帮助危害评估和帮助确定用户控制措施； -制定制造商提供信息的要求，以便采取适当的预防措施； -确保通过标签和说明书向个人充分警告与激光产品可接触到的辐射有关的危险；和 -通过最小化不必要的可接近辐射来减少伤害的可能性，并通过保护特征来改善对激光辐射危害的控制。与上一版相比，此版本包括以下重大技术变更: -引入了一个新的类别，即1C类； -去除测量条件2(“眼睛放大镜”条件)； -用于替代常规光源的低于一定辐射水平的激光产品的发射的分类可以作为选项基于IEC 62471系列； -更新了1、1M、2、2M和3R类脉冲源，特别是脉冲扩展源的可及排放限值(AEL)，以反映ICNIRP关于暴露限值的指南的最新修订版（已接受在2013年健康物理学杂志上发表，另见www.icnirp.org）。

IEC 60825-1:2014 is applicable to safety of laser products emitting laser radiation in the wavelength range 180 nm to 1 mm. A laser product may consist of a single laser with or without a separate power supply or may incorporate one or more lasers in a complex optical, electrical, or mechanical system. Typically, laser products are used for demonstration of physical and optical phenomena, materials processing, data reading and storage, transmission and display of information, etc. Such systems have found use in industry, business, entertainment, research, education, medicine and consumer products. Laser products that are sold to other manufacturers for use as components of any system for subsequent sale are not subject to IEC 60825-1, since the final product will itself be subject to this standard. Laser products that are sold by or for manufacturers of end products for use as repair parts for the end products are also not subject to IEC 60825-1. However, if the laser system within the laser product is operable when removed from the end product, the requirements of this Part 1 apply to the removable laser system. The objectives of this part of IEC 60825 are:
- to introduce a system of classification of lasers and laser products emitting radiation in the wavelength range 180 nm to 1 mm according to their degree of optical radiation hazard in order to aid hazard evaluation and to aid the determination of user control measures;
- to establish requirements for the manufacturer to supply information so that proper precautions can be adopted;
- to ensure, through labels and instructions, adequate warning to individuals of hazards associated with accessible radiation from laser products; and
- to reduce the possibility of injury by minimizing unnecessary accessible radiation and to give improved control of the laser radiation hazards through protective features. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition:
- a new class, Class 1C, was introduced;
- the measurement condition 2 ("eye loupe" condition) was removed;
- a classification of the emission of laser products below a certain radiance level that are intended to be used as replacement for conventional light sources can, as an option, be based on the IEC 62471 series;
- and the accessible emission limits (AELs) for Class 1, 1M, 2, 2M and 3R of pulsed sources, particularly of pulsed extended sources, were updated to reflect the latest revision of the ICNIRP guidelines on exposure limits (accepted for publication in Health Physics Journal 2013, see also www.icnirp.org).
