1.3 This document does not deal with hazards which can occur:
— during the design and construction phase of the laser beam powder ped fusion (PBF-LB) machine itself;
— operating in potentially explosive atmospheres.
1.4 This document does not apply to technologies other than AM metals PBF-LB.
1.5 This document is not applicable to machines manufactured before the date of its publication.
