Abstract

This document specifies the requirements for hand-held or hand-operated laser processing machines (HLM) and their components as well as assemblies. HLM is the machine in which laser radiation is generated, where the laser provides sufficient energy/power to cause a phase transition in a part of the workpiece and where the laser output or workpiece to be processed is guided manually or hand-held during the laser process. It is applicable to HLMs using laser radiation to process materials. The purpose of this document is to draw attention to the hazards related to HLMs and to prevent personal injury. Depending on the application and the location/operating conditions of HLMs, a number of different significant hazards can arise. This document describes both the areas of hazards analysis and risk assessment as well as protective measures. Requirements dealing with noise as a hazard are covered by ISO 11553-3.
