Lasermet Laser Safety Solutions - World Experts in Laser Safety
Lasermet are world leaders in laser safety having in excess of 100 years of collective experience (see laser safety consultants) and over 20 years experience as a company working with clients to resolve their laser safety issues as quickly and painlessly as possible. During this time we have been and continue to be involved at the heart of laser safety standards making at National, European and International levels, where we have been instrumental in the development of the IEC / EN 60825-1, IEC / EN 60825-2 and the rest of the 60825 series of standards which deal with the safety of laser products. Consequently we are able to offer laser safety consultancy, and training of the highest quality.
Equipment and Services
We believe that for most of our clients laser safety is something which gets in the way of their primary function, whether that be manufacturing a product, performing life saving surgery or undertaking ground breaking research. Our purpose, therefore, is to help our customers deal with all their laser safety issues as quickly and efficiently as possible, and to enable them to continue with their primary function with the minimum of disruption, whilst at the same time ensuring that the highest levels of safety are maintained. To this end we offer an extensive range of laser safety equipment and services designed to cover all aspects of laser & LED safety, including probably the largest array of laser safety eyewear available anywhere in Europe, laser viewing windows, laser blocking curtains and screens, laser safety interlocks, MPE & AEL laser safety calculation software, warning signs, laser safety training courses and laser safety audits. If you are unable to find what you are looking for on this website please contact us with your requirements as we may still be able to help.
Consultancy and Risk Assessment
Consultancy, Risk Assessment, Laser Hazard Analysis
Testing Laboratory Number 2682Your company needs to ensure that it is following the correct procedures and taking the necessary precautions as laid down by the various standards. If you do not have this level of expertise in house, or if external verification is required, then we can provide the knowledge. As leading experts in the field, we are able to carry out comprehensive risk assessments and make appropriate recommendations.
UKAS Accredited Testing
For manufacturers of laser and LED products we are UKAS accredited to ISO / IEC 17025 for testing to IEC / EN 60825-1 (Safety of Laser Products. Equipment Classification & Requirements) and IEC / EN 60601-2-22 (Medical Electrical Equipment. Particular Requirements for Safety. Specification for Diagnositc and Therapeutic Laser Equipment) and offer UKAS accredited, independent, third party testing to these standards, which can be used as evidence for the purposes of CE marking.
Physical Agents (Artificial Optical Radiation) Directive
The Physical Agents Directive is due to come into force in April 2010 forcing all employers to assess the risk of all artificial optical radiation sources, including fluorescent lights, desk lamps etc. Laser sources can be assessed to EN 60825-1 as before. LED sources will come under the new standard EN 62471 (although EN 60825-1 can still be used if desired) which will also be used for safety assessment of all other non-laser optical radiation sources. In order to help both manufacturers of optical radiation sources and employers we are able to provide independent testing to EN 62471 (Photobiological Safety of Lamps and Lamp Systems).
