# Laser Safety

Lasers are divided into a number of classes depending upon the power or energy of the beam and the wavelength of the emitted radiation. Laser classification is based on the laser’s potential for causing immediate injury to the eye or skin and/or potential for causing fires from direct exposure or reflection off diffuse and reflective surfaces.

| Class | Laser Scanner                  |
| ----- | ------------------------------ |
| 1     | Scout Series, miniVUX-1, VUX-1 |
| 3R    | VUX-240                        |

Please refer to the laser safety section specific to for your system for more details.
