1. Authoritative Definition
This certification is a comprehensive assessment of laser products based on the globally recognized benchmark standard IEC 60825‑1 “Safety of laser products – Part 1: Equipment classification and requirements”. It determines the safety class of the product and verifies its radiation safety for the human eye and skin.
2. Core Value
(1) Global Foundation
IEC 60825‑1 serves as the basis for national standards in the EU, North America, Japan, South Korea, the Middle East, Southeast Asia, Africa, and most other regions. One report, global recognition.
(2) Focus on Core Safety
Directly addresses the most critical risk – eye safety – eliminating health hazards and legal risks at the source.
(3) R&D Guidance
Provides clear safety criteria for optical design and protective measures at the early product stage, avoiding costly late‑stage design changes.
Q: Which products require this testing and certification?
A: All laser products that are exported or planned for export, including but not limited to industrial laser equipment, laser measuring instruments, medical laser equipment, and consumer laser products (e.g., laser pointers, laser levels).
Q: What are the core elements of the testing and certification?
Safety classification: Precisely classify the product into Class 1, 1M, 2, 2M, 3R, 3B, or 4 according to emission limits.
Comprehensive safety assessment: Check the protective housing, safety interlocks, key switches, laser labels, user manual, etc., for compliance.
Q: What documents are required for IEC 60825‑1 testing and certification?
A: Testing application form, product specification sheet, product information, company information, etc.
Q: What is the process and timeline for IEC 60825‑1 testing and certification?
A: Submit product information → Evaluation and quotation → Sample testing → Issue compliance report → After‑sales service (completed).
Timeline: Typically within 7 working days after all documents are ready.
