what are the classes of lasers\
This resulted in the introduction of three new laser classes (1M, 2M and 3R) and the abolition of Class 3A. Below is a brief description of each of the current laser classes. The 60825-1 standards apply equally to lasers and LEDs. In most places we have used the word laser, but it can be replaced by LED. Generally speaking LEDs would be in the lower Classes (1, 1M, 2, 2M, 3R), but very exceptionally may be Class 3B.
