Some comments on the contribution

Firstly the contribution is a strongly simplified presentation of the standard EN 207 especially for impulse operation. For details see Annex B of the standard. Secondly is the standard EN 207 is not the only one for laser safety eyewear. There is also EN 208 for laser adjustment eyewear. Thirdly the basic document is the European PPE directive 89/686/EWG which says that PPE must be approved by an EC Notified Body before being introduced to the EC market. The approval gives the right to the manufacturer to mark the product with the CE sign. The directive also says that testing shall be done by an European harmonized standard, if available. I appreciate every attempt to explain this complicated matter publicly, however links to manufacturers and fotos of selected manufacturers products shouldn't be presented.

If you have access to the official documents, please use them to improve the article. I do have the IEC 60825-2 document here (costing about EUR 150!) but not the ones you mention. The best reference that I have is the catalog of a manufacturer that claims to explain the EN 207 standard, which is why I cite this document. This article is about EN 207, not about EN 208, so I am not sure why you complain about EN 208 not being discussed here. Oh, and I don't understand your objection against a picture of goggles with CE marks. Han-Kwang (t) 12:43, 28 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
