LIA: Laser Institute of America
LIA, the Laser Institute of America, is a nonprofit organization that develops and publishes the ANSI Z136 laser safety standards. Headquartered in Orlando, United States, LIA standards are the foundation of laser safety programs in the United States in addition to serving communities across the globe. LIA is also heavily involved in educational ventures, training more Laser Safety Officers than any other organization in the world. Standards from LIA are available both individually, directly through the ANSI webstore, and as part of a Standards Subscription. If you or your organization are interested in easy, managed, online access to standards that can be shared, a Standards Subscription may be what you need - please contact us at: [email protected] or 1-212-642-4980 or Request Proposal Price.
Below are LIA's best-selling standards. To find additional standards, please use the search bar above.
ANSI Z136.1-2022
American National Standard for Safe Use of Lasers
The ANSI Z136.1 for Safe Use of Lasers is the newly updated parent document and cornerstone of the Z136 series of laser safety standards. The Z136.1 is the foundation of laser safety programs for industrial, military, medical, and educational applications nationwide. These programs are also supported by industry-specific vertical standards within the Z136 series. The Z136.1 provides guidance for the safe use of lasers and laser systems that operate at wavelengths between 180 nm and 1000 m by defining control measures for each of the seven laser hazard classifications. This voluntary consensus standard is referenced by the United States Occupational Safety and Health Administration.
ANSI Z136.3-2024
Safe Use of Lasers in Health Care
The ANSI Z136.3 (2024) is nationally recognized as the definitive document on laser safety in all health care environments, providing guidance for the safe use of lasers for diagnostic, cosmetic, preventative and therapeutic applications where bodily structure or function is altered or symptoms are relieved. This standard is applicable to any location where a health care laser system (HCLS) is used as a medical device, including hospital facilities, ambulatory surgery centers, individual medical, dental and veterinarian offices, and non-medical locations, such as salons and spas. It is intended for use by all personnel associated with the installation, use, operation, maintenance and service of the HCLS, as well as anyone who might be at risk of exposure to the laser beam during a health care application procedure. Extensively revised to reflect current thinking and practice, updates to the Z136.3 (2024) include: - Harmonization with the ANSI Z136.1 Safe Use of Lasers; Clarification concerning signage; Updates to the informative appendices; Updated references to International Standards. The Z136.3 standard is a must for all medical LSOs. It is a proven key to implementing and maintaining a successful medical laser safety program, and provides the foundation for facility policies, criteria for education and training, and compliance with best practices.

ANSI Z136.8-2021
Safe Use of Lasers in Research, Development, or Testing
One of the latest offerings in a range of vital resources for laser personnel. This standard includes policies and procedures to ensure laser safety in any area where research, development or testing is performed, including Universities, product development labs, private and government research labs (e.g., National Laboratories) and product testing settings. From this standard, LSOs will find useful guidance and recommendations for the safe use of lasers and laser systems that operate at wavelengths between 180 nm ultraviolet (UV) and 1 mm (1000 m) infrared (IR), used in research, development, or testing environments predominantly in an indoor setting. 2021 UPDATES TO THE STANDARD INCLUDE: New color figures; New Sample forms for: Room interlock checks; On-the-Job-Training; Barrier testing; Audits; Risk assessment; Expanded sections on: Robotics; Fiber optic use; Laser accidents; More detailed appendices on: High intensity lasers; Frequently asked program questions; Frequently asked technical questions; Regulatory overview; Laser Safety Officer (LSO) Duties and Responsibilities Table; Updated definitions. This standard is an invaluable resource for LSOs maintaining safety programs in research, development, or testing environments.

ANSI Z136.7-2025
Testing and Labeling of Laser Protective Equipment
The ANSI Z136.7 (2025) for Testing and Labeling of Laser Protective Equipment provides reasonable and adequate guidance for consumers and manufacturers of laser protective equipment. This standard is intended for anyone selecting or testing laser protective materials. The ANSI Z136.7-2025 standard provides recommendations for testing and labeling laser protective materials and protective equipment such as eye protection, barriers, and windows designed for use with lasers and laser systems that operate at wavelengths between 180 nm and 106 nm. All appendices are informative. NOTE 1 - This standard does not include personal protective equipment (PPE) for high energy lasers (HEL) that require an optical density (OD) greater than seven (7). NOTE 2 - This standard may not be adequate for very high pulse or continuous wave (CW) power lasers.
