Revised Standard from Last Update.

NATIONAL FOREWORD

This Indian Standard (First Revision) which is identical with ISO 11554 : 2017 ‘Optics and photonics - Lasers and laser-related equipment - Test methods for laser beam power, energy and temporal characteristics’ issued by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards on the recommendations of the Optics and Photonics Sectional Committee and approval of the Production General Engineering Division Council.

Lasers are now increasingly used for various industrial, medical, and defence applications. The technical committee, therefore, felt the need to develop an Indian Standard on the subject for safe deployment of laser systems.

This standard was originally published in 2001. First revision of this standard has been undertaken to align it with the latest version of ISO 11554 : 2017.
