What Safety Gate found
Authorities in Germany identified a serious risk with a Vevor-branded laser engraving machine. The device lacks sufficient protection against reflected or scattered radiation. Furthermore, the provided safety goggles are ineffective because the green lens color does not provide the necessary contrast for the blue laser light (which requires red-tinted lenses). The product does not comply with the requirements of the Machinery Directive.
Why this matters
Laser engraving machines often contain Class 4 lasers. Without proper enclosures (guards) or certified, wavelength-matched safety eyewear, users are at risk of permanent eye damage from scattered or reflected beams.
What buyers should check
- Ensure your laser machine is fully enclosed if it is intended to be Class 1.
- Verify that your safety eyewear is certified for the specific wavelength (nanometers) of your laser source.
- Check if the supplier provides a valid EC Declaration of Conformity.
