Maximum permissible exposure (MPE) definition
Maximum permissible exposure (MPE) means the level of laser radiation to which a person may be exposed without hazardous effect or adverse biological changes in the eye or skin. MPE values for eye and skin exposure are listed in ANSI Z136.1-2000, American National Standard for Safe Use of Lasers, 2000 edition, which is incorporated by refer- ence, published by the Laser Institute of America, 13501 Ingenuity Drive, Suite 128, Orlando, FL 32826, and on file with the Agency. This incorporation by reference contains no future editions or amendments

Maximum permissible exposure (MPE) means the rms and peak electric and magnetic field strengths, their squares, or the plane-wave equivalent power densities associated with these fields and the induced and contact currents to which a person may be exposed without harmful effect and with an acceptable safety factor.
Maximum permissible exposure (MPE) means that level of laser radiation to which persons may be exposed without hazardous effect or adverse biological changes in the eye or skin. (The criteria for the MPE for cornea (eye) and skin are detailed in the most recent edition of the American National Standard for Safe Use of Lasers, ANSI Z136.1.)
