The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) establishes global laser safety standards under the IEC 60825 series. They define laser classifications, safety requirements, exposure limits, and control measures to ensure the safe use of lasers across different applications.
These standards serve as the foundation for laser safety regulations in many countries and industries, influencing national standards such as the ANSI Z136 series in the United States and the European EN 60825 series.
The IEC laser safety standards are available in both paper and PDF formats.
