Laser safety - Compilation of maximum permissible exposure to incoherent optical radiation
Provides requirements for Maximum Permissible Exposure (MPE) values for the exposure of the human eye and skin to incoherent optical radiation from artificial sources in the wavelength range from 180 nm to 3000 nm. This Standard is identical with and has been reproduced from IEC TR 60825-9:1999.
