Why Laser Products FDA Registration?
Radiation emission products FDA certification:
The Radiation Control Regulations (originally promulgated in 1968 as the Health and Safety Radiation Control Act) are located in Articles 531 to 542 of the Act. They apply to any "electronic product," which is defined as any manufactured or assembled product (or component, part or accessory of such product) that, at runtime,
(I) contain or act as part of an electronic circuit,
(Ii) emit electronic product radiation (or in the absence of effective shielding or other controls).
What forms do I need to submit to the FDA Import Department to import my products into the United States?
Importers of radiant-emitting electronics that meet FDA performance standards must submit FDA 2877 "Radiation Control Standard Product Notices" and other written import declaration information to the appropriate FDA import office through CBP. Radiated electronic products that do not comply with applicable performance standards or with a certification label or label (21 CFR 1010.2) that is not affixed to each product shall be rejected. If your product meets performance standards, one way to indicate that you have reported your product to the FDA is to include the accession number on the FDA 2877 form.

(A) Any ionizing or non-ionizing electromagnetic or particulate radiation

Highly concentrated laser beams can cause damage to the human body, such as the eyes or skin. Therefore, the International Electrotechnical Commission IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission) and the Food and Drug Administration FDA (Food and Drug Administration) on the safety of laser equipment, according to the size of the laser output value has been classified.
Regular production of laser equipment, the safety level should be marked according to FDA or IEC standards.
IEC standard laser equipment is divided into five levels, respectively, called Class1, Class2, Class3A, Class3B, Class4. Class 1 laser equipment, for example, is a safety device under "foreseeable working conditions," while Class 4 laser equipment is a device that can produce harmful, diffuse reflections that can cause skin burns or even fire Be especially careful.
Laser safety level is generally divided into 4 levels.
Class Ⅰ: low output laser (power less than 0.4mW). The basic will not be harmful to the eyes, you can ensure the design of the safety, without special management.
Class II: Low-output visible laser (power 0.4mW-1mW), usually less than 1mW laser can cause dizziness can not think, with closed eyes to protect the general to eliminate the symptoms. Do not observe directly in the beam, do not use less than 1mw laser direct exposure to other people's eyes, to avoid the use of Yuan Yuan equipment observed Class Ⅱ laser.
Class Ⅲ Ⅲ A and Ⅲ B level:
ClassⅢA level of continuous laser for visible light, the output of 1-5mW laser beam, to avoid the use of Yuan Yuan equipment I laser, which may increase the risk, as Class Ⅱ, do not directly
Observation in the beam, do not use Class Ⅲ A laser direct exposure to other people's eyes.
ClassⅢB level 5-500mW continuous laser, directly in the beam observation is dangerous, do not use Class Ⅲ B laser direct exposure to other people's eyes, so the danger will be even greater. Class Ⅳ level for the high output continuous laser (greater than 500mW), higher than the third level, there is a danger of fire, diffuse reflection is also dangerous, of particular note. Children should avoid direct viewing of such lasers.
Summary: Class Ⅱ, Class Ⅲ A, Class Ⅲ B, Class Ⅳ level of products have some harmful effects, please use under the guidance and supervision, children should pay more attention, please guardianship under the guardianship or other use.
