Safety and compliance information
Safety information is provided in the document Safety Instructions - ONA-800 Base
Unit, 22137678, which is shipped with the ONA-800. Compliance information is listed
below.
California Proposition 65
California Proposition 65, officially known as the Safe Drinking Water and Toxic
Enforcement Act of 1986, was enacted in November 1986 with the aim of protecting
individuals in the state of California and the state's drinking water and environment from
excessive exposure to chemicals known to the state to cause cancer, birth defects or
other reproductive harm.
For the VIAVI position statement on the use of Proposition 65 chemicals in VIAVI
products, see the Hazardous Substance Control section of the VIAVI Policies &
Standards web page.

•FDA 21 CFR § 1040.10 – Performance standards for light-emitting products -
Laser products.
Due to the range of possible wavelengths, power values, and injection characteristics
of a laser beam, the risks inherent in its usage vary. The laser classes form groups
representing different safety thresholds.
Laser classes
Standards IEC 60825-1:2014 and FDA 21 CFR § 1040.10:
•VFL option: Class 2
•OTDR modules: Class 1, Class 1M
•All plug-in fiber optic transceiver modules: Class 1
Warning labels for the laser classes
Due to the reduced dimensions of the optical modules, it is not possible to attach the
required warning labels to them. In line with the provisions of Article 7.1 of the IEC
60825-1 standard, the laser class identification labels are shown below:
