FOSHAN, China, Sept. 4, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- ISO 11553‑2:2026 Safety of machinery—Laser processing machines—Part 2: Safety requirements for hand-held or hand-operated laser processing machines was officially published on August 28, 2026. As a core member of the Chinese expert group, HSG Laser was deeply involved in the initiation, technical discussions, and drafting of this standard.

This is the world's first ISO/IEC international safety standard for complete laser processing systems, developed under China's leadership. The seven-year development process included global technical reviews, cross-border voting, and multi-stakeholder consultations. The standard shifts the focus of safety management from "personnel management and end-user protection" to the inherent safety design of the product itself, establishing a unified global safety benchmark for the rapidly growing market of handheld laser welding and cleaning equipment.

HSG Laser has contributed decades of R&D experience, as well as practical application data and on-site safety practice data, to this international standard. In addition to this ISO standard-setting effort, HSG Laser has participated in the development of numerous national and international standards for laser processing systems and remains committed to translating its engineering expertise into global industry standards. Furthermore, HSG Laser contributes to the development of the industry in various ways. HSG Laser holds 445 patents, has installed more than 50,000 units worldwide, and serves nearly 30,000 customers in over 100 countries through its 20 global branches.

Participating in the development of ISO standards demonstrates HSG Laser's commitment to advancing the global laser industry. HSG Laser will promote the local adoption and implementation of the ISO 11553-2:2026 standard and continue to contribute China's technical insights to global standard-setting efforts.
