IEC 60825-1适用于在180 nm至1 mm波长范围内发射激光辐射的激光产品的安全性。 尽管存在发射波长小于180 nm（真空紫外线范围内）的激光器，但这些激光器不包括在标准范围内，因为激光束通常必须封装在真空外壳中，因此潜在的光辐射危害本质上是最小的。 激光产品可以由单个激光器组成，有或没有单独的电源，也可以在复杂的光学、电气或机械系统中包含一个或多个激光器。通常，激光产品用于演示物理和光学现象、材料处理、数据读取和存储、信息传输和显示等。此类系统已在工业、商业、娱乐、研究、教育、医药和消费品中得到应用。 出售给其他制造商作为任何系统组件用于后续销售的激光产品不受IEC 60825的约束- 1，因为最终产品本身将遵守本标准。由终端产品制造商或为终端产品制造商销售的激光产品，用作终端产品的维修零件，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上拆除时可操作，则本第1部分的要求适用于可拆卸激光系统。 注1:可操作设备不需要工具来准备操作。

IEC 60825-1 is applicable to safety of laser products emitting laser radiation in the wavelength range 180 nm to 1 mm. Although lasers exist which emit at wavelengths less than 180 nm (within the vacuum ultraviolet), these are not included in the scope of the standard since the laserbeam normally has to be enclosed in an evacuated enclosure, and, therefore, the potential optical radiation hazards are inherently minimal. 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. NOTE 1 Operable equipment does not require a tool to prepare for operation.
