In Sweden it is now illegal to purchase, own, sell and/or use l-ser pointers more than 1mW strong (classes 3R, 3B and 4.). The new law is in place from the 1st Jan 2014*.

The Swedish government agency Transportstyrelsen welcomes reports on incidents with l-ser pointers at any Swedish airport so please do report it if you encounter it when visiting Sweden!

More information in Swedish is available here: Skärpta regler för starka laserpekare från 1 januari 2014 - Strålsäkerhetsmyndigheten

To file a special report regarding l-sers, contact ATC. In case they are ignorant, here is the form to use; http://www.transportstyrelsen.se/Glo...elsk_text).pdf


*For any l-ser pointers stronger than this, a special approval is needed from the government agency Strålsäkerhetsmyndigheten.
