scope:

This standard applies to laser adjustment eye-protectors. These are filters and eye-protectors for use in adjustment work on lasers and laser systems as defined in EN 60825-1:1994 (i.e. LED (Light Emitting Diode) radiation is included) where hazardous radiation occurs in the visible spectral range of 400 nm to 700 nm. Filters specified in this standard reduce this radiation to values defined for lasers of class 2 (< or equals 1mW for CW (Continuous wave) lasers). In this case aversion responses including the blink reflex contribute to eye protection. This standard defines the specifications, test methods and marking. A guide is given in Annex B with regard to selection and use.
