In the U.S., laser shows using lasers above a certain power are regulated by the federal government and some states (notably New York and Texas). If you are using medium and high power lasers, you must obtain CDRH certification for your laser equipment. For more information, contact:
Center for Devices and Radiological Health, Food and Drug Administration, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, HFZ-342, 2098 Gaither Road, Rockville, MD 20850, (301) 594-4654 (Office of Compliance), (301) 594-4692 (alternate number -- Director's Office). www.fda.gov/cdrh/
