Hi Team
I’m need information about the projector and IR used in POP 2 to make a report about the safety of practical use.
Can you share the information?
it’s helpful if you help me, thanks.
It is Class 1 Infrared Laser and as with any Class 1 laser there are no safety concern and the wave length do not have any impact on eye sight.
There are no warning safety sheets for this kind of laser.
The beam is also not focus into point what make it as much dengerous as TV remote.
So if you want to compare , walking outdoor on a cloudy day will impact you more 
Infrared light is very reflective from most all surfaces that why it is very suitable for 3D optical scanners .

Much more. Clouds do not block ultraviolet light as much as visible light and it is the UV light that causes cataracts. So when it is not as bright, the eye opens the iris more, allowing relatively more UV light than does full sunlight.
I don’t go outside during daylight without sunglasses rated for UV A and UV B (and polarized is even better).

I am looking for the manufacturer specifications on the laser. I need to run a hazard evaluation so it can be used by students.
I can’t help you here with as all I know it is just Class 1 Infrared laser , it will be up to Revopoint to share with you this information.
Please write to customer@revopoint3d.com for direct information related to your device , they may share with you the certificate .
Just seen that topic.
Revopoint states in the data that it’s a class one laser: https://shop.revopoint3d.com/products/pop2-3d-scanner.
That given, there is no risk with the laser light under normal conditions.
If you want to reference to laser classes see here: Laser classes
I’d recommend to ask to revopoint for a certificate for the laser in any case, to be on a safe side.
