Medical - Medical: Health Care / medical equipment cosmetics
German term or phrase: der für den Menschen gefährlichen Gefahrenklassen
Aus einer amtlichen Stellungnahme zur "Anwendung hochenergetischer Blitzlampen durch Kosmetikerinnen und andere medizinische Laien"

"Nach Auffassung des ...... ist die Anwendung von hochenergetischen Blitzlampen (IPL-Technologie) und
Lasern *für den Menschen gefährlichen Gefahrenklassen" durch nicht medizinisches Personal aus nachgenannten Gründen als unerlaubte Ausübung der Heilkunde im Sinne des Heilpraktikergesetzes (§1 Abs.1 HeilprG) zu werten"

My own attempt is "which fall under the categories of dangerous equipment". Any improvements available?

hazard classes hazardous to humans
Explanation:
would be a fairly literal translation, and in a legal opinion you need to stick fairly closely to the original wording - it has probably been selected with some care. In particular, you can't leave out the fact that it is items hazardous to humans that are being referred to (as opposed to hazardous to animals or whatever).
