rHazard distance (IEC 62471-5:2015)
The distance from the projection lens surface, at which the emission reaches
the Accessible Emission Limit (AEL) of risk group 2, is known as the hazard
distance (HD) or safety distance. The area where the emission exceeds the
Accessible Emission Limit of risk group 2 is called the hazard zone (HZ).
Within the hazard zone, never look into the light projected from the
projector. The eyes may be damaged by direct irradiation even if you look at
the light just for a moment. If you are outside the hazard zone, it is
considered to be safe in all circumstances except deliberately staring into
the light projected from the projector.

rRisk group
The combination of the projector and the projection lens is categorized as
risk group 2 when the hazard distance is 1 m (39-3/8″) or less. It is
categorized as risk group 3 when the hazard distance exceeds 1 m (39-3/8″),
and it will be for professional use instead of consumer use. In case of risk
group 3, there is a possibility of damaging the eyes by direct irradiation
when looking into the projection light from inside the hazard zone even for a
moment. In the case of risk group 2, safe use without damaging the eyes is
possible in all circumstances except deliberately staring into the light
projected from the projector. The combination of the projector and the
projection lens which the hazard distance exceeds 1 m (39-3/8″) and is
categorized as risk group 3 is as follows.
