Product catalog summary
Introduction
This document provides comprehensive guidance on selecting laser safety eyewear, focusing on specifications, standards, and recommendations to ensure effective eye protection against laser exposure.
Specifications and Selection Criteria
  • Determine the necessary laser safety level with expert assistance.
  • Choose eyewear with the highest Visible Light Transmission (VLT) when multiple filters are available.
  • Consider protection for multiple wavelengths, which may require darker lenses.
  • Check filter color for visibility of specific colors, such as warning lights.
  • Evaluate frame styles for comfort, weight, and compatibility with prescription glasses.
EN 207 L-rating
  • The L-rating (L1 to L10) indicates the power or energy density the eyewear can withstand, as defined in EN 207.
  • It is relevant only with specific wavelengths and laser modules (D, I, R, or M).
Importance of Laser Safety Eyewear
  • Protects against direct, reflected, or diffused laser light, preventing serious eye damage.
  • Essential for protection against invisible radiation.
Certification Requirements
  • Most lasers require eyewear certified to EN207; visible lasers (400-700nm) need EN208 certification.
Optical Density (OD) vs. EN207 L-rating
  • OD measures the lens's ability to reduce light transmittance to safe levels.
  • EN207 L-ratings include OD and laser stability, covering both filter and frame.
Care and Maintenance
  • Inspect eyewear for damage before use and store in its case when not in use.
  • Ensure the correct wavelength and safety level for the laser in use.
  • Never look directly into the laser beam, even with safety eyewear.
Frame Styles
  • Various frame styles are available, such as XC, Milan, New York, LGF, Encore, Flex Seal, BM Light, and more, each offering different levels of protection, comfort, and fit.

Selecting laser Safety Eyewear What should I look for when selecting laser Safety Eyewear? • First of all determine the laser safety level you require, (your Laser Components Safety specialist can help you with this) • If more than one filter is available for the same protection select the highest possible VLT (visible light transmission) • Look to see if you need multiple wavelength protection, these tend to be darker than single wavelengths. • Check the filter colour, do you need to see specific colours for warning lights or coloured wires? • Look closely at the frame styles, important factors...

What is the difference between OD and EN207 L-rating The lens of the eyewear is a filter designed to reduce light transmittance to a specific band of wavelengths, while allowing other wavelengths to pass through the lens. This filtering of the lens can be defined by the Optical Density. The required OD is the minimum necessary to reduce the beam to a non-hazardous level. In Europe the EN207 L-ratings incorporate not only the OD, but also laser stability. It is defined on a scale from L1 to L10. Signifying the power density up to which the eye wearer will withstand the laser radiation for at least...

Care • Before using any eyewear, check for any mechanical damage such as small scratches and breaks or colour changes to the filter. Replace if required • Keep your eyewear in the case it came in when not in use. • Always check the correct wavelength and safety level are suitable for the laser you are operating. • Never look directly into the beam even when wearing safety eyewear.
