This part of ISO 11810 is applicable to disposable and reusable, as well as woven and non-woven materials
used as surgical drapes and other patient protective covers which claim to be laser-resistant.
The purpose of this part of ISO 11810 is to provide a standardized method for testing and classifying surgical
drapes and other patient protective covers with respect to laser-induced hazards. An appropriate classification
system is given. It is not the purpose of this part of ISO 11810 to serve as a general fire safety specification,
and as such, this part of ISO 11810 does not cover other sources of ignition. It also does not cover the issue
of laser-induced secondary ignition.
All materials reflect portions of the beam and it is necessary for the user to decide whether specular
reflectance may be a hazard. This measurement, however, is not covered in this part of ISO 11810.
