ANSI Z136.3-2011
American National Standard for Safe Use of Lasers in Health Care
ANSI Z136.3 is recognized as the definitive document on laser safety in all health care environments. It provides guidance for the safe use of lasers for medicine, diagnostic, cosmetic, preventative and therapeutic applications in any location where bodily structure or function is altered or symptoms are relieved. Lasers used in these applications are incorporated into an apparatus referred to as a health care laser system (HCLS), which includes a delivery system, a power supply, mechanical housing and associated liquids and gases as required for operation of the laser.
