Practical laser safety knowledge for European workshops
LaserMachineSafety.eu explains what European law and standards actually require before a laser machine goes into production.
This site is an independent educational resource about laser machine safety in Europe. We translate EN 60825, EN ISO 11553 and the Machinery Regulation into the questions a workshop actually faces: which laser class sits inside the machine, which protective eyewear is certified for that wavelength and optical density, where guarding and interlocking are mandatory, and what a Safety Gate alert means for equipment that is already installed.
It is written for the people who carry that responsibility: production and maintenance engineers, safety officers, buyers of laser cutters and engravers, and small businesses that cannot keep a full compliance department. Every knowledge base article is free to read, and the certified e-learning course covers the same material in a fixed structure and ends with a verifiable certificate.
Everything published here is compiled by the team behind LaserMachineSafety.eu, a Dutch engineering company that builds and services laser machinery and supplies certified laser safety eyewear.
