This Standard provides recommendations for the safe use of lasers and laser systems that operate at wavelengths between 180 nm and 1000 um and are used to conduct research or used in a research, development, or testing environment.

This standard provides guidance and recommendations for the safe use of lasers and laser systems that operate at wavelengths between 180 nm ultraviolet (UV) and 1 mm (1000 μm) infrared (IR), used to conduct research, development, or testing environments predominantly in an indoor setting. Use of this standard requires an assigned laser supervisor or laser safety officer (LSO).
