Title: Reporting guide for laser-light shows and displays (21 CFR 1002)

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6520947

The guide is to be used for reporting laser-light shows or displays incorporating Class IIIb or Class IV lasers only. Separate reports are not required for shows or displays that incorporate Class I, IIa, II, or IIIa laser-projection systems. Such show descriptions must be included in the user instructions and the report for the laser projector. Laser projectors used in any light shows or displays regardless of the class of the projector must be certified by the manufacturer and reported using the guide titled, Guide for Preparing Initial Reports and Model Change Reports on Lasers and Products Containing Lasers, HHS Publication FDA 86-8259. These guides assist manufacturers in providing the information that the Center for Devices and Radiological Health (CDRH) needs to determine how laser-light-shown projections and laser-light shows comply with the Federal standard for laser products (21 CDR 1040.10 and 1040.11) and with the conditions of an approved variance.
