The 1989 American Standard for the Safe Use of Optical Fiber Communications Systems Utilizing Laser Diodes and LED Sources, ANSI Z136.2-1989, was recently updated to address changes in laser safety criteria and technology. The revised standard provides practical guidance for personnel installing and servicing optical fiber communications systems (OFCS). Such systems are, by definition, Class 1 except during service or installation and, therefore, the concept of “service group” (SG) instead of “class” is retained to as an indicator potential of risk. Factors such as the divergence of the energy emitted from the end of an optical fiber or connector, and anticipated realistic viewing conditions are included in the accessible emission limits (AELs) that define the different SGs. Consequently, the AELs and the measurement distances, limiting aperture diameters and exposure durations are different from the corresponding values used to classify conventional lasers and laser systems. Where appropriate, changes were made to harmonize with other standards, e.g., relaxation of the maximum permissible exposure (MPE) values in the IR. The rationale and innovative features of the revised standard are described below.The 1989 American Standard for the Safe Use of Optical Fiber Communications Systems Utilizing Laser Diodes and LED Sources, ANSI Z136.2-1989, was recently updated to address changes in laser safety criteria and technology.
