IEC TR 60825-17:2015（E）建议采取安全措施，以防止高功率光纤通信系统中使用的无源光学元件和光缆中的热效应、光机效应和相关效应。它不适用于在爆炸性环境中使用高功率光学系统或在材料加工机器中使用光纤。在IEC 60825的本部分中，对激光器的引用包括发光二极管（LED）和光放大器。第二版取消并取代2010年出版的第一版。本版为技术修订版。

IEC TR 60825-17:2015(E) recommends safety measures to protect against effects caused exclusively by thermal, opto-mechanical and related effects in passive optical components and optical cables used in high power optical fibre communication systems. It does not apply to the use of high power optical systems in explosive atmospheres or the use of optical fibres in material processing machines. Throughout this part of IEC 60825, a reference to laser is taken to include light-emitting diodes (LEDs) and optical amplifiers. This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition published in 2010. This edition constitutes a technical revision.
