Leica Geosystems Handheld laser meter Disto X310
120 m, 635 nm
Question about Product
In Switzerland, class 2 lasers will be banned from 1 June 2021 ( from 1 June 2020 all others with M suffix) and therefore only a class 1 laser may be used. According to the manual, the unit has a class 2 laser - will there soon be a major replacement here ? (from 1.6.2021 the possession of class 2 lasers is illegal! )
Helpful answer
I'll answer myself right away after I've done some research: (I hope this answers someone else's question as well)
In the explanatory report from the FOPH, which can be found here: https://www.bag.admin.ch/dam...
distance measuring devices are explicitly excluded (why this is not mentioned in the main report is a mystery to me...).
I thought so... Theoretically, you can do the same nonsense with them (the ordinance is primarily aimed at the improper use of lasers) but they would have caused some problems.
