There is a Govt agency in the UK that can take any laser and rate its ability to harm. They can then issue an 'eye safe' report if it passes.

This agency is called the HPA (Health Protection Agency

Errr isn't that one of the QUANGOs due to get the chop?

As an aside, what the pointer brothers don't get is that pilots can't tell if any laser shone at them is eye safe or not. So apart from 'dangerous, distracting or confusing' they have to assume "blinding" which might end their career.

If I ruled the world, the punishment would involve their laser and their eyes.
