NFPA 70E Article 330 is being revised and will focus solely on electrical safety requirements for laser use. The revision adds references to ANSI Z136.1 for laser safety requirements for laser use, and to 21 CFR 1040.10 and 1040.11 for laser product requirements for manufacturers. Hazardous voltage, current and stored energy are specified and controls requirements are given for lasers with user-accessible electrical hazards. The revised article will be published in the 2018 NFPA 70E release.
