Abstract
The laser standard prescribes certain warning labels that must be attached to the product and certain radiation safety information that must be provided to the user, the potential buyer, and the service person to warn these people about the existence of hazardous levels of radiation associated with the laser product. This information is provided to permit persons working with the product to take the necessary protective measures to avoid hazardous radiation exposure. The individual requirements will be discussed in detail with some examples to clarify the rationale for each one. Some of the more commonly seen compliance errors will also be pointed out.
