3 Terms and Definitions
The terms and definitions defined in GB/T 7247.1-2024 and GB/T 7247.13-2018, as well as the following terms and definitions, apply to this document.
3.1 laser pointer
Handheld laser products with the function of indicating the target object and/or spatial location.
3.2 Consumer laser pointer products
Laser pointers intended for use by ordinary consumers rather than professionals, where reasonably foreseeable circumstances.
Note 1.Laser products that emit low-power, small-divergence-angle visible light radiation, such as laser pointers.
Note 2.Direct illumination of the human eye may cause potentially harmful visual disturbances, which are particularly noticeable in low-light environments.
3.3
Laser pointers whose shape and design are attractive to children or intended for use by children.
Note 1.Laser pointer products may affect children due to their features or characteristics such as function, movement, color, people, sound, light, shape, material, size, smell or taste.
Children are attractive.
Note 2.Laser pointer products that simply emit visible light are generally not attractive to children.
Note 3.Laser pointer products designed in the form of cartoon characters, such as telephones, mobile phones, tablets, watches, and musical instruments, are attractive to children.
3.4 claimed wavelength
The laser wavelength that the manufacturer marks on the laser product.
