This European Standard applies to eyeprotectors used for protection against accidental exposure to laser radiation as defined in EN 608251:2007 in the spectral range 180 nm (0,18 µm) to 1 000 µm. It defines the requirements, test methods and marking. A guide is given in Annex B for the selection and use of laser eyeprotectors.
This European Standard does not apply to protectors for intentional exposure to laser radiation.EN 208 applies for laser adjustment eyeprotectors.NOTE Before selecting eye protection according to this European Standard, a risk assessment should first be
