Laser Visuals Research

Laser Visuals Research are able to offer its expertise to advise on laser product classification and the necessary product requirements, to ensure your laser product is safe and legal to sell in the United Kingdom.

Whether a laser product is being designed and manufactured here in the UK, or being imported from overseas, the users and vendors of such equipment have legal responsibilities to ensure what is being supplied is classified correctly and meets the requirements of the relevant safety standards.

Many laser products are supplied to the UK from origins outside of the European Union. Often, and even though the manufacturer supplies the goods with a CE mark on the item, it is commonplace for many imported items to be supplied not having the required features of the Laser Safety Product Standard; resulting in goods that are incorrectly marked, and illegal to supply in the UK.

Contrary to popular belief, the responsibility for ensuring a product is correctly labelled with a CE mark is not that of the overseas supplier, it is that of the persons or organisation supplying the goods to the UK market. Ignoring this fact can leave suppliers exposed to prosecution by the enforcing authorities, who have become more aware of the issues surrounding imported laser products, following several instances and increased media coverage.

Laser Visuals Research can assist with the CE mark certification process for Laser Products to ensure that the laser products you supply are safe and legal for sale in the UK .
