This European Standard applies to eye-protectors used for protection against accidental exposure to laser radiation as defined in EN 60825-1:2007 in the spectral range 180 nm (0,18 µm) to 1000 µm. It defines the requirements, test methods and marking. A guide is given in the informative Annex B for the selection and use of laser eye-protectors and filters in appliances. This European Standard does not apply to protectors for intentional exposure to laser radiation. EN 208 applies to laser adjustment eye-protectors. Before selecting eye protection according to this European Standard, a risk assessment should first be undertaken.
