scope:

This part of IEC 60825, which is a Technical Report, is applicable to laser products as described in IEC 60825-1:2014.

The checklist is intended for use by manufacturers of laser products and their agents to establish that each new or modified design complies with the requirements of IEC 60825-1:2014. The checklist is used in conjunction with IEC 60825-1, as relevant clauses and subclauses in IEC 60825-1 are referred to in the text.

The layout of the checklist is intended only as a guide. Manufacturers and examiners are encouraged to produce their own document, omitting questions and clauses that are not relevant to the types of product under examination, but noting in the appropriate positions the numbers of such clauses stating, for example: "Subclause 9.11.1: Question omitted - not applicable".

The manufacturer is responsible for ensuring that the examiner is a person competent in the inspection and classification of laser products.
