This part of ISO 11553 specifies the requirements for laser processing devices, as defined in ISO 11553-1,
which are hand-held or hand-operated.
The purpose of this part of ISO 11553 is to draw attention to the particular hazards related to the use of
hand-held laser and hand-operated laser processing devices and to prevent personal injury. This includes
both the areas of hazard analysis and risk assessment as well as protective measures.
Requirements concerning noise as a hazard are not included in this part of ISO 11553. These requirements
are to be included in a subsequent amendment.
This part of ISO 11553 does not apply to laser products or equipment manufactured solely or expressly for
applications which are excluded from the scope of ISO 11553-1.
