As of June 1st, 2019 the Swiss Federal Government has passed new federal legislation, the Ordinance to the Federal Act on Protection Against Hazards Arising from Non-Ionising Radiation and Sound (O-NIRSA).
The Ordinance aims to abolish class 1M laser and above technology from most aspects of Swiss life, including laser displays at public events and handheld laser pointers (child toys, pet toys etc.). The intention is to ensure the misuse of lasers does not affect the safety of the public and groups responsible for public safety, such as the police or pilots.
As a result, when the Ordinance comes into effect, the import, transit, supply and possession of any products containing class 1M laser and above in Switzerland will be prohibited, although a grace period of two years is offered to people in possession of such products.
Logitech’s line of presenters is designed for use in an indoors environment and can be considered safe when used to purpose. Logitech therefore finds the inclusion of its laser presenters in the Ordinance regrettable. However, we respect the objective and decision taken by the Swiss authorities and are taking what action we can to ensure our Swiss consumers can continue to benefit from the great product experiences they have had to date. With that in mind, we would like to work with you to ensure the Ordinance has a minimal impact on our consumers, who selected their Logitech products for a great experience.
This Swiss federal legislation affects the following Logitech laser presentation devices:
