Labeling Requirements

According to CFR 21 Part 1010.2, importers and manufacturers of laser products should label their products. The labels must declare that the product complies with applicable U.S. standards and legal requirements. All information should be written clearly and legibly in English. Examples of such labels, considered as certificates for the product, include:

- "Complies with 21 CFR Chapter 1, Subchapter J."

- "Complies with 21 CFR Part 1040.10 and 1040.11."

CFR 21 Part 1040.10 also explains general labeling requirements for laser products, depending on the hazard classification. The product must display:

- Warning symbols

- Specific warning statements

- Maximum output

- Pulse duration (if pulsed)

- Laser medium or emitted wavelength

- Identification label

 

Identification labels must include:

- Manufacturer’s name and address

- Place of manufacture

- Month and year of manufacture (written in full)

 

Required Documentation for Laser Product and Instrument Manufacturers:

1. Guide for Preparing Product Reports on Lasers and Products Containing Lasers

2. Guide for Preparing Annual Reports on Radiation Safety of Laser Light Shows

3. FDA eSubmitter
