Laser Compliance
Statement Product laser transceivers are tested and certified in the United States
to conform to Title 21 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR),
Subchapter J, Parts 1040.10 and 1040.11 for Class 1 laser products.
Transceivers are tested and certified to be compliant with
International Electrotechnical Commission IEC825-1 and European
Norm EN60825-1 and EN60825-2 regulations for Class 1 laser
