French law sets out a general safety obligation, prohibiting the placing on the market of non-compliant work equipment and protective equipment. Laser machines are also covered by these regulations but are additionally subject to specific standards and regulations. This training course is aimed at machine designers, manufacturers and users who need to ensure that their equipment is compliant.
