Product Safety & Compliance Notice

Why Wavelength Matters

Laser protective eyewear only works within the specific wavelength range and Optical Density (OD) printed on the lens or frame. A filter rated for one wavelength (e.g. 1064nm Nd:YAG) can provide close to zero protection at a different wavelength (e.g. 532nm), even if the lens looks similarly tinted. Always match eyewear to the exact laser type and wavelength in use — check your laser's specification plate or operating manual, and contact us before ordering if you are unsure.

IPL vs Laser Eyewear

IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) devices produce broadband, non-coherent light and require eyewear tested to ISO 12609 — this is a different standard and a different filter design to laser-specific EN207 eyewear. IPL eyewear should not be used as laser protection, and laser eyewear should not be assumed to cover IPL exposure.

Not a Medical Device

Products on this site are protective equipment, not medical devices, and are not intended to diagnose, treat, or prevent any medical condition.

Professional Installation for Containment Products

Viewing windows, curtains, barriers, and enclosures should be specified and installed in line with your laser's classification and a proper laser safety risk assessment. We can advise on product specifications, but final installation and compliance sign-off is the responsibility of the purchaser or their Laser Safety Officer.
