DANGER - ULTRAVIOLET RADIATION
1. Follow instructions.
2. Avoid overexposure. As with natural
				sunlight, exposure can cause eye and skin injury and allergic reactions.

Current through Register Vol. 30, No. 28, July 12, 2024
A. A registrant shall ensure that each laser
				product has a protective housing that prevents access to laser and collateral
				radiation if it exceeds the exposure limits for Class 1 lasers in R9-7-1426. If
				a laser's accessible emission levels must exceed the limits for Class 1 lasers,
				the registrant shall use a laser from the lowest class that will enable the
				registrant to perform the intended function.
B. To prevent access to radiation above the
				applicable MPE, a registrant shall ensure that each laser has a safety
				interlock, which prevents operation of the laser if a person has removed any
				portion of the protective housing that can be removed or displaced without the
				use of tools during normal operation or maintenance. The registrant shall
				ensure that:
1. Service, testing, or
				maintenance of a laser does not render the interlocks inoperative or increase
				radiation outside the protective housing to levels that exceed the applicable
				MPE, unless a controlled area is established as specified in
				R9-7-1433;
2. For pulsed lasers,
				interlocks are designed to prevent the laser from firing;
3. For Class 3b and 4 continuous wave (cw)
				lasers, interlocks turn off the power supply or interrupt the beam.
4. An interlock does not allow automatic
				accessibility to radiation emission above the applicable MPE when the interlock
				is closed; and
5. Multiple safety
				interlocks or a means to preclude removal or displacement of the interlocked
				portion of the protective housing is provided if failure of a single interlock
				could result in:
a. Human access to levels of
				laser radiation that exceed the radiant power accessible emission limit for
				Class 3a laser radiation, or
b.
				Laser radiation that exceeds the accessible emission limit for Class 2, emitted
				directly through the opening created by removal or displacement of a portion of
				the protective housing.

				laser by eye while looking along the axis of the laser beam if the intensity of
				the beam or the beam's reflections exceeds the applicable MPE.
B. A registrant shall not permit an
				individual to enter a controlled area if the skin exposure exceeds the
				applicable MPE, unless the registrant provides and requires the use of
				protective clothing, gloves, and shields.
C. A registrant shall ensure that any laser
				product, emitting spatially scanned laser radiation, does not, as a result of
				scan failure or any other failure that causes a change in angular velocity or
				amplitude, permit human access to laser radiation that exceeds the accessible
				emission limits applicable to that class of product.

				that is incorporated into a laser product that is subject to the requirements
				of this Article, and capable, without modification, of producing laser
				radiation when removed from the laser product, is considered a laser product,
				subject to the applicable requirements of this Article. Upon removal of the
