IEC 60825的本部分提供了用于点对点或点对多点自由空间光数据传输的激光产品和系统的制造和安全使用要求和具体指南。本标准仅涉及系统的开放梁部分。如果设备或系统的部分包含从外壳限制延伸的光纤，则IEC 60825-1中的制造和安全要求仅适用于这些部分。本标准不适用于为材料加工或医疗等应用传输光功率而设计的系统。 本标准也不适用于爆炸性环境中系统的使用。 IEC 60825本部分的目标是: -提供信息，根据危害程度规定工程控制和要求、行政控制和工作实践，保护人们免受自由空间光通信系统（FSOCS）产生的潜在危险光辐射； -规定制造、安装、服务和运营组织的要求，以便制定程序并提供书面信息，以便采取适当的预防措施。

This part of IEC 60825 provides requirements and specific guidance for the manufacture and safe use of laser products and systems used for point-to-point or point-to-multipoint free space optical data transmission. This standard only addresses the open beam portion of the system. If portions of the equipment or system incorporate optical fibre that extends from the confinements of the enclosure(s), the manufacturing and safety requirements under IEC 60825-1 apply to those portions only. This standard does not apply to systems designed for purposes of transmitting optical power for applications such as material processing or medical treatment. This standard also does not apply to the use of systems in explosive atmospheres. The objective of this part of IEC 60825 is to: - provide information to protect people from potentially hazardous optical radiation produced by free space optical communication systems (FSOCS) by specifying engineering controls and requirements, administrative controls and work practices according to the degree of the hazard; - specify requirements for manufacturing, installation, service and operating organisations in order to establish procedures and provide written information so that proper precautions can be adopted.
