  • ANSI Z136.5 (2020) - Safe Use Of Lasers In Educational Institutions (Electronic Version)

    Z136.5-2020 electronic version is a single-user PDF that provides reasonable and adequate guidance for the safe use of lasers in educational environments by evaluating and minimizing hazards associated with laser radiation. Environments characteristic of educational institutions, wherein lasers may be found, include teaching laboratories, classrooms, lecture halls, science fairs, museums, and student projects on-and-off campus. This standard is intended for faculty and students using lasers at primary, secondary, and college levels of education, excluding graduate level research laboratories that are more comprehensively addressed by ANSI Z136.8 (latest revision) and Z136.1 (latest revision). The wavelength range of interest includes the ultraviolet (UV), visible, and infrared (IR) regions of the electromagnetic spectrum; specifically, the wavelength range from 180 nanometer (nm) to 1 millimeter (mm).

  • Historical: ANSI Z136.9 - Safe Use of Lasers in Manufacturing Environments (Electronic Version)

    The ANSI Z136.9 - Electronic Version is a single user PDF version provides reasonable and adequate guidance for the safe use of lasers and laser systems that operate at wavelengths between 180 nm and 1 mm. This standard reached its 10-year expiration on August 6, 2023. This standard is considered historical and is not a current American National Standard. The information in this standard may still be referenced as an LIA standard, but it no longer carries the American National Standard designation. A revision of this standard is in process and will be proposed to ANSI for approval when it has completed its consensus process.
