12BLaser Safety Statement
The SE950 and SE955 scan engines offer integrators a significant
advantage in both reduced time to market and simplified regulatory
testing and approvals. The engines contain a full suite of host independent
fault protection mechanisms and have been proven to stay
within classification during operation and single fault conditions as
required by EN/IEC 60950.* Because this testing was performed
by an independent accredited laboratory, integrators placing the engine in
most ITE (Information Technology Equipment) products
should not need to undergo the significant single-point failure testing that
would normally be required for laser safety compliance
(certain types of products aimed at medical, military, or other specialty
markets may require additional testing). Additionally, the scan
engines do not require any beam attenuation (via scanning window
attenuation, distance-based attenuation, or other electronic
controls) to meet their laser power classification, provided that the
product’s laser classification matches the engine.
Symbol will also provide you with the documentation you need to speed
through your regulatory approvals. We will provide:
• Initial EN/IEC 60825-1 certificates showing classification and restrictions
to aid development efforts (restrictions include
labeling and other product level restrictions that are impossible to
implement on the component engine itself)*.
• FDA Accession number
• EN/IEC 60950-1 Certificates
• Proof of UL 60950-1 Recognition
• Symbol will provide copies of the EN/IEC 60825-1 laser safety test
reports to your laser/product safety test laboratory upon
receipt of a standard NDA agreement signed by both the lab and Symbol.
