In the EN 208 standard, which is a European standard, the requirements for filters and eye protection used in adjustment studies on lasers and laser systems defined in the EN 60825‑1 standard are explained and test methods are presented. These lasers and laser systems emit LED radiation where hazardous radiation occurs in the visible spectral range of 400 nm to 700 nm. This standard has been published in our country by the Turkish Standards Institute (TSE) with the following title: EN 208 Personal eye protection - Eye protectors suitable for working with laser and laser systems (laser suitable eye protectors).
In addition, the EN 60825-1 standard has been published by TSE in our country with the following title: EN 60825-1 Safety of laser products - Part 1: Hardware classification and rules.
Standard EN 208 applies to laser adjustment filters and eye protection. These filters reduce the radiation to the values defined for the lasers. In this case, avoidance responses, including the blink reflex, contribute to eye protection.
The EN 208 standard defines requirements, test methods and marking criteria and provides a guide for selection and use in the standard appendix. In the meantime, a risk assessment should be made before choosing the appropriate eye protection.
In short, the EN 208 standard is only valid for visible lasers (i.e. 400-700 nm wavelength range). These types of goggles generally have a high optical density.
For safety, it is important to know where the beam is. Because the probability of being exposed to him was fallingr. Alignment goggles balance optical density between beam shielding and visibility, protect the eye against the beam in case of inadvertent direct exposure, and reduce the laser beam power below the class 2 limit.
The EN 208 standard specifies tests and marks for laser alignment glasses.
