Laser pointer register in Europe

We register laser pointer products and dealers in Europe to verify they meet European guidelines so governements and webshop platforms can verify if they are legal and safe to be sold and used. Besides registering dealers we also test and report to governments and sales platforms (Such as Amazon and bol.com) to help keep the internet safe from illegal laser pointers.

What is Rapex Lasers?

Laser pointer testing and certification company

We are a team of laser pointer experts that businesses and governments can trust. We test laser pointers for consumers, governments, laser pointer sellers, and selling platforms. We also inform selling platforms if they are distributing illegal or untested laser pointers.

We are independent and have the knowledge to test and certify laser pointers in Europe.

In an ideal world all products going to market are tested and certified but with laser pointers its the Wild West.

90% of all laser pointers come from China and have wrong labels, no CE marks and are hazardous for consumers and businesses to use. Read our mission on how we plan to fix this.

Our mission is to check every laser pointer on the internet, test it and provide a certificate if it meets the EU guidelines for laser pointers.

Unfortunately 90% of laser pointers we test are well over the maximum legal output of 1 milliwatt (1 mW), making them illegal to sell and hazardous to use. We work day in and out to report untested laser pointers to governments, platforms and webshops so they can take action such as take the illegal laser pointer off market.

With over 11 years of experience in the laser pointer market we have built a team of experts who know the law in Europe regarding laser pointers.
