Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies
(ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO
technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been
established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and
non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the
International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards
adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an
International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
ISO 11553-1 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 172, Optics and photonics, Subcommittee SC 9,
Electro-optical systems, in collaboration with IEC/TC 76, Optical radiation safety and laser equipment.
This first edition of ISO 11553-1 cancels and replaces ISO 11553:1996, which has been technically revised.
ISO 11553 consists of the following parts, under the general title Safety of machinery — Laser processing
machines:
 Part 1: General safety requirements
 Part 2: Safety requirements for hand-held laser processing devices

ISO 11553-1:2005(E)
Introduction
The Machinery Safety Directive issued by the Council of the EEC outlines essential and mandatory
requirements that must be met in order to ensure that machinery is safe. In response, CEN/CENELEC
initiated a programme to produce safety standards for machines and their applications. This part of ISO 11553
is one in that series.
It has been prepared as a harmonized standard to provide a means of conforming with the essential safety
requirements of the Machinery Directive and associated EFTA Regulations.
This document is a type B standard as stated in ISO 12100-1. The provisions of this document may be
supplemented or modified by a type C standard.
For machines which are covered by the scope of a type C standard and which have been designed and built
according to the provision of that standard, the provisions of that type C standard take precedence over the
provisions of this type B standard.
It is applicable to machines using laser radiation to process materials. The purpose of this part of ISO 11553 is
to prevent injuries to persons by
 listing potential hazards generated by machines containing lasers,
 specifying safety measures and verifications necessary for reducing the risk caused by specific
hazardous conditions,
 providing references to pertinent standards, and
 specifying the information which is to be supplied to the users so that they can establish proper
procedures and precautions.
INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO 11553-1:2005(E)

Safety of machinery — Laser processing machines —
Part 1:
General safety requirements
1 Scope
This part of ISO 11553 describes hazards generated by laser processing machines, as defined in 3.2, and
specifies the safety requirements relating to radiation hazards and hazards generated by materials and
substances. It also specifies the information to be supplied by the manufacturers of such equipment.
Requirements dealing with noise as a hazard from laser processing machines are not included in this part of
ISO 11553. They will be included in a subsequent amendment.
This part of ISO 11553 is not applicable to laser products, or equipment containing such products, which are
manufactured solely and expressly for the following applications:
 photolithography;
 stereolithography;
 holography;
 medical applications (per IEC 60601-2-22);
 data storage.
