Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC). Generic standards. Emission standard for industrial environments
The accessible laser radiation of Class 2 (US: calss II) laser systems does not pose any
hazard for the skin. Any short-term radiation of the eyes also poses no risk due to the low
level output. In the event of longer, more intensive radiation, the eye is protected by the
natural lid reflex.
The SpeedMarker 1300 uses a Class 2 (US: calss II) pilot laser. In order to prevent irrita-
tion of the eyes during operation, the operator should not look directly at the laser source.
Diffuse reflections of the pilot laser are entirely harmless.
Class 4 (US: class IV)
High powered lasers (visible or invisible) considered to present potential acute hazard to
the eye and skin for both direct (intrabeam) and scatter (diffused) conditions. Also have
potential hazard considerations for fire (ignition) and byproduct emissions from target or
process materials.
It is the responsibility of the operator of the machine to take take appropriate messurements to eliminate any dangers such as fire or explosions through the laser beam.
When dealing with class 4 (US: class IV) laser follow the following precautions:
According to BGV B 2 „Laser Emission“ a trained laser safety officer hast o
be appointed to evaluate potentiial hazards and to ensure that appropriate
control measurers are implemented.
The laser controlled area shall be posted with appropriate warning signs or warning
lamps.
The laser controlled area shall be defined to contain the laser radiation. Also it must be protected agains unauthorized acess. The operator of class 4 laser systems always has to wear appropriate safety
glasses.

No working methods are permitted that affect the safety of the machine. The operator must also ensure that no unauthorized persons work with the machine
(e.g. by activating equipment without authorization).
It is the duty of the operator, to check the machine before start of work for externally
visible damage and defects, and to immediately report changes that appear (includ-
ing behavior during operation) that affect the safety.
The user must provide that the machine is only operated in perfect condition. The user must guarantee the cleanness and accessibility at and around the machine
by corresponding instructions and controls.
Principally, no safety components may be removed or disabled (already here we em-
phasize the imminent dangers, for example severe burns, loss of eye-sight). If the re-
moval of safety components is required during repair and service, the replacement of
the safety components must be performed immediately after completion of the ser-
vice and repair activities.
Preparation, retooling, change of work piece, maintenance and repair activities must
only performed with equipment switched off, by trained personnel.
It is forbidden to perform unauthorized modifications and changes to the machine. It
is emphasized, that any unauthorized modifications to the machine are not permitted
for safety reasons.
Without safety precautions, the following risks exist with exposure to laser radiation:
Eyes: Burns to the retina for NIR (Near Infra Red) LASER
Skin: Burns
Clothing: Danger of fire
The laser beam must never be directed onto persons or animal!
Never try to modify or remove the safety devices or cover of the laser head!
Never try to modify or disassemble the laser and do not try to start up a system that
had been modified or disassembled
Dangerous radiation exposure can result from the use of operation or
adjustment equipment other than that described here, and if different
operational methods are performed.
3.3.2 Safety Information for the User and/or Operating Personnel
The warning and information labels are attached in such positions of the machine that
could represent a source of danger during set-up and operation. Therefore, follow the information on the labels. If labels are lost or damaged, they must be replaced immediately

Wear the appropriate workwear. Wear safety glasses (class 4/USA: Class IV)Use a suitable extraction system.
Risk posed by laser marking reaction products!
A suitable extraction system must be used when laser marking due to the possible gener-
ation of gases, fumes and any other partially toxic by-product.
In individual cases, the reaction products may consist of static dust. If this enters any
electrical systems it can cause short circuits leading to personal injury and material damage.
Risk posed by flammable or explosive materials!
Class 4 laser radiation such as that emitted by the SpeedMarker 1300 may ignite materi-
als or cause explosions. Among others it should be ensured that:
Parameters are selected so that the material does not overheat The system is monitored if necessary Dust is extracted safely
There is no accumulation of any flammable residues or remnants in the workspace.
Gases, Fumes and Dust
Depending on the materials being marked and the parameters selected, laser marking may generate gases,
fumes, aerosols or dust.
The toxicity of such by-products depends on the material.
The operator is responsible for ensuring a suitable extraction system is in place and for compliance with the
relevant guidelines in order to protect individuals and the environment.
The guideline VDI 2262 1…3 "Workplace air " provides, among other things, additional remarks.
The operator must also ensure that gases, fumes or dust do not settle on the processing lens. Any dirt accu-
mulating on the processing lens can lead to a loss of performance, poor marking results and damage to the
device.
