Varnost laserskih izdelkov - Posebne zahteve za laserske izdelke, namenjene potrošniku
Ta dokument podaja definicije in določa posebne zahteve za potrošniške izdelke, ki vsebujejo laserje. Cilj tega dokumenta je zagotoviti varnost laserskih izdelkov, ki so na voljo potrošnikom. Ta dokument določa zahteve, ki dopolnjujejo zahteve v standardu EN 60825-1. Vključeni so laserski izdelki, namenjeni potrošniku, ki se napajajo prek baterije, in tudi laserski izdelki, namenjeni potrošniku, ki se napajajo na druge načine. Zahteve tega dokumenta se navezujejo samo na nevarnosti laserskega sevanja za oči in kožo. Druge nevarnosti ne spadajo na področje uporabe tega dokumenta. Skladnost s tem dokumentom morda ne zadostuje za skladnost z veljavnimi zahtevami glede delovanja in preskušanja drugih veljavnih standardov o varnosti izdelkov. Področje uporabe tega dokumenta ne vključuje laserskih izdelkov, namenjenih potrošniku, ki so zasnovani za projiciranje laserskega sevanja v območju valovne dolžine od 380 nm do 780 nm na mrežnico, s predvidenim trajanjem dnevne uporabe potencialno več ur (na primer za aplikacije navidezne ali obogatene resničnosti), ker trenutno ni mogoče zagotoviti mejnih vrednosti sevanja, ki bi izključevale morebitne škodljive učinke celodnevne uporabe, dan za dnem. OPOMBA 1: Raven sevanja, ki jo dovoljuje razred 1 v območju vidne valovne dolžine, ustvari izjemno svetlo sliko, ki je bleščeča in neprijetna, zato tako visoke ravni sevanja, ki dosega mejne vrednosti razreda 1, ni mogoče razumno predvideti za to vrsto naprave (glej tudi predlog za nove delovne postavke 76/660/NP za projekt IEC/TS 60825-20). Področje uporabe tega dokumenta ne vključuje izdelkov, namenjenih za profesionalno uporabo (profesionalni laserski izdelki, ki niso namenjeni potrošniku), in omejitve, določene v tem dokumentu, ne veljajo za laserske izdelke, ki niso namenjeni potrošniku. Za doseganje potrebne ravni varnosti laserskih izdelkov, ki niso namenjeni potrošniku, zadostuje skladnost s standardom EN 60825-1. Ta dokument določa tudi podskupine laserjev, ki so dovoljeni kot potrošniški izdelki. Omejena skupina laserskih izdelkov razreda 3R je vključena. Tveganje za poškodbe je dovolj nizko, da ga je mogoče sprejeti pod razumno predvidljivimi pogoji uporabe (vključno s predvidljivo nepravilno uporabo) za skladnost z direktivo o splošni varnosti proizvodov (GPSD) in direktivo o nizki napetosti (LVD) za potrošniške izdelke. Električne igrače, ki vsebujejo laserje in so zajete v standardu EN 62115, ne spadajo na področje uporabe tega dokumenta. Laserski izdelki razreda 1C, namenjeni potrošniku, ne spadajo na področje uporabe tega dokumenta. Laserski izdelki razreda 1C za kozmetično in lepotilno nego so na primer zajeti v standardu prEN IEC 60335-2-113:202X1. OPOMBA 2: Nacionalne zahteve so lahko restriktivnejše od zahtev v točkah 6.1 in 6.2.

Overview
EN 50689:2021 - Safety of laser products - Particular Requirements for Consumer Laser Products (CENELEC/CLC) defines additional safety rules for laser products intended for consumers. It complements EN 60825-1 by specifying classification, labelling, emission limits and user-information requirements tailored to consumer use. The standard focuses on laser radiation hazards to eyes and skin and excludes professional (non‑consumer) lasers, electric toys covered by EN 62115, Class 1C products (e.g., certain cosmetic devices) and long‑duration retinal displays (day‑long AR/VR use).
Key topics and technical requirements
- Scope and intent: Applies to consumer laser products (battery or otherwise powered) and to products likely to be used by the general public. It adds consumer‑specific requirements on top of EN 60825-1:2014 / A11:2021.
- Permitted classes: Consumer devices may be Class 1, Class 2 and a restricted subgroup of Class 3R when not child‑appealing. Class 1C, Class 1M/2M/3B/4 and laser pointers (above certain classes) are restricted or excluded.
- Child‑appealing products: Any product judged to be attractive to children (shape, colours, characters, lights, sounds, etc.) must be Class 1 and meet stricter emission limits. Skin-accessible emissions are measured using a 1 mm aperture and timebases of 10 s (>400 nm) or 1000 s (≤400 nm) to prevent skin/corneal burn hazards.
- Emission measurement limits: The standard specifies worst‑case measurement points (closest human access, smallest beam diameter). For certain UV ranges (180 nm ≤ λ < 315 nm) a specified emission ceiling (as given in the standard) applies to child‑appealing devices.
- Class 3R additional controls: When Class 3R is necessary, the product must not be a laser pointer, include a justification statement in the user information, require a deliberate user action for activation, and provide a clear emission indicator.
- Maintenance & safety: During any user maintenance, access to emissions exceeding the assigned class must not be possible - a more restrictive stance than EN 60825-1 for consumer contexts.
- Labelling and user information: Classification, labelling and instructions follow EN 60825-1 requirements plus the consumer‑focused additions in EN 50689.
Applications and users
- Who uses EN 50689: manufacturers, product safety engineers, compliance officers, test laboratories and certification bodies producing or assessing consumer laser products (e.g., pointers, novelty lights, home-use laser devices).
- Practical use: designing safe consumer laser products, drafting instructions/labels, preparing conformity documentation, and ensuring compliance with EU product safety directives for consumer markets.

1 Scope
This document provides definitions and specifies the particular requirements for consumer products
containing lasers. The objective of this document is to ensure that laser products available to consumers
are safe. This document specifies requirements that are additional to those specified in EN 60825-1.
Consumer laser products that are battery powered are included, as well as consumer laser products
powered by other means.
The requirements of this document are intended to address only the laser radiation hazards to the eyes
and skin. Other hazards are not included within its scope. Compliance with this document may not be
sufficient to conform to the applicable performance and testing requirements of other applicable product
safety standards.
The scope of this document does not include consumer laser products that are designed to project laser
radiation in the wavelength range of 380 nm to 780 nm onto the retina, with an intended daily usage
duration of potentially many hours (such as for virtual reality or augmented reality applications), because
it is currently not possible to provide emission limits that preclude any potential adverse effects for day-
long usage, day after day.
NOTE 1 The level of radiation permitted by Class 1 in the visible wavelength range results in an extremely bright
image which will be dazzling and uncomfortable, and therefore such a high emission level, that reaches Class 1
limits, is not reasonably foreseeable for this type of device (see also New Work Item Proposal 76/660/NP for the
project IEC/TS 60825-20).
The scope of this document does not include products intended for professional use (non-consumer
(professional) laser products) and restrictions as specified in this document do not apply to non-
consumer laser products. For non-consumer laser products, compliance with EN 60825-1 is sufficient
to achieve the necessary level of safety.
This document also specifies which subgroups of lasers are permitted as consumer products. A
restricted group of Class 3R laser products are included. The risk of injury is low enough to be accepted
under reasonably foreseeable conditions of use (including foreseeable misuse) for compliance with the
general product safety directive (GPSD) and low voltage directive (LVD) for consumer products.
Electric toys containing lasers, which are covered by EN 62115, are excluded from the scope of this
document.
Class 1C consumer laser products are not in the scope of this document. For example, cosmetic and
1)
beauty care Class 1C laser products are covered by prEN IEC 60335-2-113:202X .
NOTE 2 National requirements can be more restrictive than the requirements in 6.1 and 6.2.

3.3
child appealing consumer laser product
laser product that:
a) resembles, by virtue of its form or design, anything that is commonly recognized as being
appealing to, or intended for use by, children; or
b) has any other feature or characteristic, necessary or not for the function of the product, that is
likely to be appealing to children
A child appealing consumer laser product is a product that is attractive to children due to its
characteristics such as function, movement, colour, characters, sounds, lights, shape, texture, size,
smell or taste
EXAMPLE 1 laser products resembling: e.g. cartoon characters, toys, guns, watches, telephones, musical
instruments, vehicles, human body or parts of the human body, animals, food or beverages
EXAMPLE 2 laser products playing notes (sounds), having flashing lights, moving parts or other entertaining
features
Note 1 to entry: The simple emission of a visible laser beam as such does not make a laser product child
appealing.
Note 2 to entry: “Child appealing” depends on a case-by-case assessment of the child appealing character of the
product, taking into account the specific characteristics of the product in question (see “New Declaration of ADCO
on Child Appealing Appliances, LVDWP/14/4, 15-06-2009).
Note 3 to entry: A normal telephone, mobile phone or tablet is not considered as child appealing; in contrast, a
telephone, mobile phone or tablet that is designed to look like a cartoon character, is considered child appealing.
Also, a product that resembles (but is not) a watch, telephone, musical instrument, etc. is considered as child
appealing.
3.4
laser pointer
laser product promoted and intended as a handheld laser either for entertainment purposes or for
pointing out objects and/or locations
Note 1 to entry: Examples which are not considered as laser pointers are: gunsights, laser levelling devices and
positioning aids, such as in laser distance measurement devices
4 Classification of consumer laser products
Laser products in the scope of this standard shall comply with EN 60825-1:2014 and
EN 60825-1:2014/A11:2021, including classification, labelling and user instructions. As a general
principle, the product shall be in the lowest feasible class commensurate with the intended function.
5 Child appealing consumer laser products
Child appealing consumer laser products that are not electric toys shall be Class 1 laser products. The
classification, engineering, labelling and information for the user requirements of EN 60825-1:2014 and
EN 60825-1:2014/A11:2021 apply.
Additionally, for child appealing consumer laser products, the accessible emission determined at the
closest point of human access and the point of the highest accessible emission (worst case condition
regarding the beam diameter), shall not exceed the maximum permissible exposure values for the skin
as specified in EN 60825-1:2014 and EN 60825-1:2014/A11:2021, Table A.5. The accessible emission
to be compared with the applicable value in Table A.5, given as irradiance or radiant exposure, is to be
determined with a circular averaging aperture (limiting aperture) of 1 mm diameter and with a timebase
of 10 s for wavelengths above 400 nm and a timebase of 1000 s for wavelengths less than and equal
to 400 nm.
NOTE 1 These limits can be seen as dual limits, additional to the AEL of Class 1, to prevent a skin burn hazard
or a corneal burn hazard; the limits are applied as emission limits to ensure product safety, they are not used as
exposure limits.
NOTE 2 Electric toys are not in the scope of this document. Requirements for electric toys incorporating lasers
are specified in EN 62115.
NOTE 3 A flowchart of the requirements of this clause and Clause 6 can be found in Annex A as a simplified
summary.
A laser pointer of any class, other than Class 1, shall not be a child appealing consumer laser product.
The emission of a child appealing consumer laser product, determined at the closest point of human
−2
access or the worst-case position in the beam (smallest beam diameter) shall not exceed 0,001 W∙m
in the wavelength range 180 nm ≤ λ < 315 nm.
Child appealing consumer laser products shall comply with all stated requirements. Child appealing
consumer laser products that do not comply with all stated requirements are considered as unsafe.

Die Norm EN 50689:2021 behandelt die Sicherheit von Laserprodukten und legt spezifische Anforderungen für Verbraucherlaserprodukte fest. Der Umfang dieses Dokuments ist klar definiert und schließt Produkte aus, die für den professionellen Einsatz gedacht sind, was die Relevanz und Anwendbarkeit der Norm für die Verbraucher erhöht. Ein wesentlicher Aspekt dieser Norm ist, dass sie die Sicherheitsstandards für Verbraucherlaserprodukte standardisiert, wodurch ein hohes Maß an Schutz für Endbenutzer gewährleistet wird. Eine der Stärken der EN 50689:2021 liegt in ihrer klaren Abgrenzung zu anderen Normen, wie zum Beispiel der EN 60825-1, die für nicht- Verbraucherlaserprodukte gilt. Dies verhindert Verwirrung und stellt sicher, dass die spezifischen Anforderungen für Verbraucherprodukte angemessen berücksichtigt werden. Zudem werden elektrische Spielzeuge mit Laser, die unter die EN 62115 fallen, ebenfalls ausgeschlossen, was den Fokus der Norm weiter schärft und die Anwendung für Herstellern von Verbraucherlaserprodukten vereinfacht. Die Norm hebt sich auch durch die Berücksichtigung von Klassifikationen ab, etwa dass Produkte der Klasse 1C und kosmetische Laserprodukte durch die FprEN 60335-2-113 geregelt werden, was für eine klare Struktur innerhalb der Regelungen sorgt. Diese detaillierte Ausarbeitung und die klare Definition des Anwendungsbereichs machen die EN 50689:2021 zu einem unverzichtbaren Dokument für Hersteller, Händler und Verbraucher, die sich über die Sicherheitsanforderungen von Laserprodukten im Konsumbereich informieren möchten. Insgesamt bietet die EN 50689:2021 eine umfassende Grundlage zur Gewährleistung der Sicherheit von Verbraucherlaserprodukten und unterstreicht die Verantwortung der Hersteller, sicherzustellen, dass ihre Produkte die festgelegten Standards erfüllen. Die spezifische Ausrichtung dieser Norm macht sie relevant und erhöht das Vertrauen der Verbraucher in die Sicherheit der verwendeten Laserprodukte.
La norme EN 50689:2021 établit des exigences précises pour la sécurité des produits laser destinés aux consommateurs.

SIST EN 50689:2022 문서는 소비자를 위한 레이저 제품의 안전성을 보장하기 위해 필요한 요구사항을 명확하게 규정하고 있습니다. 이 표준은 소비자를 대상으로 하는 레이저 제품에 대한 특정 요구 사항을 명시하고 있으며, 전문 사용을 의도한 제품(비소비자 레이저 제품)에는 해당되지 않습니다. 따라서 EN 50689:2021의 적용 범위는 소비자 레이저 제품에 국한되며, 비소비자 레이저 제품에 대해서는 EN 60825-1의 준수만으로도 안전성을 달성할 수 있습니다. 이 표준의 강점 중 하나는 소비자 레이저 제품에 대한 명확한 기준을 제공함으로써 시장에서의 안전성을 강화한다는 점입니다. 소비자 제품에 대한 안전 규정은 소비자가 사용하는 레이저 장치가 정확하게 어떤 요구 사항을 충족해야 하는지를 명확히 함으로써, 불필요한 위험 요소를 제거하도록 설계되었습니다. 또한, 전기 완구를 포함한 일부 다른 레이저 제품은 EN 62115에 따라 규제되므로, 이 문서의 범위에서 제외됩니다. SIST EN 50689:2022는 클래스로 구분된 소비자 레이저 제품에 대한 요구 사항을 구체적으로 규정하고 있으며, 특히 클래스 1C의 소비자 레이저 제품은 이 문서의 적용 범위에서 제외됩니다. 예를 들어, 미용 및 스킨케어 분야의 클래스 1C 레이저 제품은 FprEN 60335-2-113에 따라 다루어지므로, 이 표준의 내용을 보다 효과적으로 이해하고 적용할 수 있습니다. 결과적으로, EN 50689:2021 표준은 소비자에게 안전한 레이저 제품을 제공하기 위한 필수적인 문서로, 소비자 레이저 제품의 설계 및 제조에 있어 중요한 지침을 제공합니다. 따라서 이 표준은 안전성을 최우선으로 하고자 하는 모든 이해 관계자에게 필수적으로 참고해야 할 문서라고 할 수 있습니다.
SIST EN 50689:2022は、消費者向けレーザー製品に特化した安全性に関する要求事項を定めた標準文書です。この標準は、消費者向けレーザー製品に対する具体的な要求を明確にし、製品の安全性を確保するための指針を提供します。主に、一般消費者が使用するレーザー製品の設計および製造に関連する要件が含まれていますが、専門用途向けの製品（非消費者レーザー製品）はこの文書の対象外です。 EN 50689:2021の強みは、消費者が使用するレーザー製品に特化している点にあります。このような標準化により、消費者が安全に製品を使用できる環境が整います。特に、レーザー光線による危険を軽減するための明確な指針を示していることは、消費者の安全を守るために重要です。また、基準は、電動おもちゃやクラス1Cの消費者レーザー製品などの特定の製品についても適用除外を設けており、より明確で包括的なガイダンスを提供しています。 この文書は、さまざまな消費者レーザー製品の分野での安全性を向上させるために不可欠な基準となっています。それにより、製造業者は消費者向けに安心・安全な製品を提供できるようになります。さらに、消費者がこれらの製品を選ぶ際の指針にもなり得るため、非常に関連性の高い標準と言えます。
