This paper provides a status update and an early preview of proposed additions to the laser safety product standards formalizing the area of ‘Moving Platform Laser Products’. Moving platforms such as vehicles, trains, robots and others, which incorporate free space laser emissions inherently provide and argument for adapted measurement conditions for classification. Updated requirements are critical to several laser applications including vision systems, LiDAR sensors, and more. Evaluation methods, classification measurement distances, engineering requirements and proposed specifications are discussed, as the technical committee IEC TC 76 considers formalizing this work project in 2019/2020 for the IEC 60825 family of standards.
