How do I find the right laser safety eyewear?
Operating instructions for the laser are available
The operating instructions for a certified laser will specify the minimum protection levels required. You can use this to select suitable laser safety glasses.
There are no operating instructions for the laser
Let our laser safety experts know the operating mode, wavelengths and power of the laser used. They will help you to determine suitable laser safety glasses.
Suitable glasses already available
Let our laser safety experts know the protection levels on the filter of the laser safety glasses you are already using. We will find the right goggles for you.
| Example: | > 315 - 532 | DIRM | LB6 | X | S | CE |
|
| Wavelength range | Operating mode(s) | Protection Level | Manufacturer | Mechanical strength
(optional) | CE mark |
Important: OD markings do not represent a CE standard!
Suitable frame
Make sure that your glasses meet your requirements. This may involve a good fit, a wide field of vision, an adjustable frame or the option of combining several filters. The frame must also CE certified.
Your protection is in your hands
The right laser safety goggles are essential to protect your eyes from hazardous radiation. Certified quality, the right protection level and a comfortable fit are crucial. You can rely on tested products and competent advice to ensure maximum safety. Our experts will be happy to help you find the best solution for your needs.
What do I need to know about laser safety eyewear?
Laser beams have specific wavelengths (nm) to which protective safety
goggles must be precisely matched to. Particularly dangerous: UV and infrared rays, as they are
invisible to the eye invisible to the eye and do not trigger an eyelid closure reflex!
Laser protection classes
The laser protection class must be marked on all CE-certified laser devices as shown. Devices with laser protection class 1 do not emit any dangerous laser radiation.
Operating Modes
D
Continuous wave laser
CW-Laser
> 0,25 s
I
Pulse Laser
Q-Switched/Mode-locked
> 1 µs - 0,25 s
R
Giant Pulse Laser
Â
> 1 ns - 1 µs
M
Mode Locked Pulsed Laser
Â
< 1 ns
Certification of laser safety eyewear
Laser safety eyewear must be certified in accordance with DIN EN 207. The protection level shows that the glasses withstand standardized tests (5 seconds of irradiation or 50 pulses) for a specific wavelength with corresponding power.
| Example: | > 315 - 532 | DIRM | LB6 |
|
| Wavelength range | Operating Mode(s) | LB-Value |
Wavelength coverage
Laser safety goggles can only cover certain wavelength ranges with the required protection level, especially in the visible range. It is therefore possible that several pairs of goggles are required for one laser device.
The right safety eyewear frame
A well-designed frame ensures safety, comfort and optimum visibility - especially when working with laser devices for long periods of time. This must be CE-certified and bear a CE mark.
