On-Site Laser Compliance Testing

• Service areas
  • AREA 1 - Within 50km of Brisbane and Gold Coast
  • AREA 2 - Within 50km of Toowoomba and Sunshine Coast
  • AREA 3 - All other areas
     
• Tests performed in Section 1
  • Protective housing - Are the external surfaces of the laser unit intact and free from damage that exposes the internal workings?
  • Access Panels - Are any parts that expose internal workings secured?
  • Overrides - If you remove a panel, will the laser turn off? Most of the time, panels are screwed on, and this field will be marked as N/A.
  • Labels for panels - Are any parts that expose the internal workings clearly labelled?
  • Key or pin pad control - Does the key or pin pad work and is free from damage?
  • Remote interlock - Is there a device preventing the remote activation device (pendant/foot pedal) from working when disconnected?
  • Radiation warning device - Does the laser have an audio and visual indication like a buzzer or pillar light to indicate the status of the laser?
  • Aperture indication - A sticker that shows where the laser energy will come out.
  • Aperture warning label - A sticker warning what type of laser energy will be emitted from the aperture.
  • Viewing optics - Is there a shield fitted to the device, and is it free from damage? If none is fitted, N/A will be noted.
  • Radiation warning labels - A sticker stating what type of laser, classification, wavelength and peak output warnings.
  • Explanatory labels - Sticker indicating the use of the laser and to read the manual before use etc.
  • Emergency stop - Is there an emergency stop button, and does it function?
     
• Tests performed in Section 2
  • Laser output wavelength(s) - the wavelength of the aiming beam and active beam or beams if multi-wavelength.
  • The laser energy emitted v.s its set value (Commonly referred to as TEST 13) - A quantitative measurement of the difference between the set value and the recorded value of the laser output at five different power settings (per wavelength).
  • Laser output pulse - what is the difference between the set value and recorded value of your laser in 5 different pulse settings (per wavelength).
     

Q: How do I book this service?

Q: What is the Radiation Safety Act 1999? 
A: The Queensland Radiation Safety Act 1999 is a state law that regulates the use of radiation sources, including laser equipment, to ensure the safety of individuals and the environment.

Q: Why is legal compliance with the Radiation Safety Act 1999 crucial? 
A: Compliance with the Radiation Safety Act 1999 is essential to avoid fines and legal penalties and to ensure the safety of your employees and customers.

Q: What is included in the On-Site Laser Compliance Testing Service? 
A: Our On-Site Laser Compliance Testing Service includes a comprehensive evaluation of your laser equipment to ensure compliance with the Radiation Safety Act 1999. We use state-of-the-art testing equipment to measure output power, beam alignment, and other critical parameters. We also provide a detailed report of our findings and recommendations for corrective action, if necessary.

Q: Do you calibrate as well? 
A: We can test and calibrate AMD Picasso, Woodpecker and Biolase laser units. However, this service is not included in the compliance testing fee.

Q: How is the testing appointment scheduled? 
A: We work with you to find a convenient time for the testing appointment to minimise any downtime that may be required.
