40、re, the selection of material and thickness for shielding against laser radiation is determined primarily by a need to provide sufficient optical attenuation. However, at higher levels, an additional consideration is the ability of the laser radiation to remove guard material typically by melting, o
41、xidation or ablation; processes that could lead to laser radiation penetrating a normally opaque material. IEC 60825-1 deals with basic issues concerning laser guards, including human access, interlocking and labelling, and gives general guidance on the design of protective housings and enclosures f
42、or high-power lasers. This part of IEC 60825 deals with protection against laser radiation only. Hazards from secondary radiation that may arise during material processing are not addressed. Laser guards may also comply with standards for laser protective eyewear, but such compliance is not necessar
43、ily sufficient to satisfy the requirements of this standard. Where the term “irradiance” is used, the expression “irradiance or radiant exposure, as appropriate” is implied. BS EN 60825-4:2006+A2:2011EN 60825-4:2006+A2:2011 (E) 7 SAFETY OF LASER PRODUCTS Part 4: Laser guards 1 Scope This part of IEC
44、 60825 specifies the requirements for laser guards, permanent and temporary (for example for service), that enclose the process zone of a laser processing machine, and specifications for proprietary laser guards. This standard applies to all component parts of a guard including clear (visibly transm
45、itting) screens and viewing windows, panels, laser curtains and walls. Requirements for beam path components, beam stops and those other parts of a protective housing of a laser product which do not enclose the process zone are contained in IEC 60825-1. In addition this part of IEC 60825 indicates:
46、a) how to assess and specify the protective properties of a laser guard; and b) how to select a laser guard. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document.
