1. Standard Full Name & Introduction
Full Name: GB/T 7247.1 “Safety of laser products – Part 1: Equipment classification and requirements”
Issuing Body: Standardization Administration of China (SAC)
Core Purpose: This standard is the national foundation for laser product safety in China (recommendatory standard). Its purpose is to protect consumers and users from laser radiation injuries through scientific safety classification and comprehensive requirements.
2. Why Is This Standard So Important?
(1) Prerequisite for Market Access
It is a market access requirement for manufacturing, selling, or importing laser products within China. Products that do not comply will face enforcement actions by market regulatory authorities.
(2) Technical Compliance Criterion
It provides the most authoritative Chinese technical specification and implementation basis that must be followed during product design and manufacturing.
(3) Legal Liability Protection
Obtaining a test report that demonstrates compliance with this standard is key evidence for enterprises to prove they have fulfilled their legal obligations during product quality spot checks and consumer disputes.
1. Applicable Product Range
All laser products circulating in the Chinese market, including but not limited to:
Industrial laser equipment (marking machines, cutting machines, welding machines)
Information technology equipment (laser printers, optical disc drives)
Medical laser equipment
Consumer laser products (laser pointers, presenters, levels)
2. Core Testing Items
Laser safety classification: Accurately determine and classify products into Class 1, 1M, 2, 2M, 3R, 3B, or 4 according to the national standard emission limits.
Accessible emission level measurement: Measure the accessible radiation level of the product under conditions specified in the standard.
Safety protection device assessment: Verify the effectiveness of protective housings, safety interlocks, key switches, and emergency stop devices for compliance.
Labeling & instruction review: Strictly review the completeness and compliance of product Chinese labels and user manuals – a key focus of Chinese market surveillance.
3. Related Markets & Directives
Directly relevant to: China Compulsory Certification (CCC – for certain product categories), China medical device registration, and spot checks by Market Supervision Bureaus at all levels.
International relation: This standard is technically equivalent to the international standard IEC 60825‑1, thus also providing a solid technical foundation for product export.
