This European Standard applies to laser adjustment filters and eye-protectors. These are filters and eye-protectors for use in adjustment work on lasers and laser systems as defined in EN60825‑1:2007 where hazardous radiation occurs in the visible spectral range of 400nm to 700nm. Filters specified in this European Standard reduce this radiation to values defined for lasers of class 2 (≤1mW for CW (continuous wave) lasers).

This European Standard defines the requirements, test methods and marking. A guide is given in AnnexB with regard to selection and use.

EN207 applies to eye-protection against accidental exposure to laser radiation.

NOTE Before selecting eye protection according to this European Standard a risk assessment should first be undertaken (see AnnexB).
