Laser Classes:

(According to European norm EN 60825-1/ November 2001)

In order to classify lasers according to the degree of danger each individual laser potentially holds, they are assigned to a Laser Class. This classification is based on the so-called AELs – accessible emission limits - (German: GZS-Werte). The AELs have been derived from the medical MPE values - maximum permissible exposure - (German: MZB Werte). The MPE value indicates at which level of exposure laser radiation is dangerous for the eyes or skin.
