What is the highest laser class?

Class 4 is the highest class in terms of laser hazards. If you’re within the hazard zone, you’re exposed to severe eye and skin injuries. In addition, combustible materials shouldn’t be in the laser’s surroundings to avoid fire hazards.

Diffuse reflections of class 4 lasers are also hazardous. You could get sunburns or lose sight simply by looking at a workpiece being processed.

A good rule of thumb is to pay attention to warning labels, wear protective equipment if required, and follow any additional control measures for laser safety.

Fortunately, class 4 lasers can be properly enclosed to render them essentially harmless. For example, automated laser marking machines manufactured by Laserax are class 1 laser products, but they include high-power laser systems that range from 20 watts to 500 watts.
