Laser classification

The laser safety class indicates the risk potential based on the level of accessible laser radiation.

The SpeedMarker 300 is a

Class 2 (US: classII) laser marking system as per DIN EN 60825-1 “Safety of laser products”.

The SpeedMarker 300 with the option "pass-through" is a

Class 4 (US: class IV) laser marking system as per DIN EN 60825-1 “Safety of laser products”.

Integrated laser source of the SpeedMarker 300 is a

Speedmarker FL , Class 4 (US: class IV) laser marking system identified according to DIN EN 60825-1.

Class 2 (US: class II)

The accessible laser radiation of Class 2 (US: class II) laser systems does not pose any hazard for

the skin. Any short-term radiation of the eyes also poses no risk due to the low level output. In the

event of longer, more intensive radiation, the eye is protected by the natural lid reflex.

The SpeedMarker 300 uses a Class 2 (US: class II) pilot laser. In order to prevent irritation of the

eyes during operation, the operator should not look directly at the laser source.

Diffuse reflections of the pilot laser are entirely harmless.
