These levels can be adjusted for other wavelengths by using the graph of energy transmitted to and absorbed by the retina (Figures I and II). Figure II may be normalized at L 6943 A. Figure I is applicable to pulsed lasers and Figure II to c.w. lasers. The adjusted levels shall not exceed the corresponding levels in Table VII by a factor greater than ten. Maximum permissible exposure levels for the skin shall not exceed the daylight levels for the eye (Table VII) by a factor of more than 105.
