Health and safety in welding and allied processes - Transparent welding curtains, strips and screens for arc welding processes

This standard specifies safety requirements for transparent welding curtains, strips and screens to be used for shielding of work places from their surroundings where arc welding processes are used. They are designed to protect people from hazardous radiant emissions from welding arcs and spatter. Welding curtains, strips and screens specified in this standard are not intended to replace welding filters. Appropriate welding filters for intentional viewing of welding arcs from a distance of less than 2 m are specified in EN 169. The present standard is not applicable for welding processes where laser radiation is used.
Darker curtains or screens can be used for mutual separation of adjacent work places for reasons of comfort.

Arbeits- und Gesundheitsschutz beim Schweißen und bei verwandten Verfahren - Durchsichtige Schweißvorhänge, -streifen und -abschirmungen für Lichtbogenschweißprozesse

Diese Norm legt sicherheitstechnische Anforderungen für durchsichtige Schweißvorhänge, -streifen und
-abschirmungen fest, die zur Abgrenzung von Arbeitsplätzen gegen Umgebungen verwendet werden, an
denen Lichtbogenschweißprozesse durchgeführt werden. Sie sind so ausgelegt, dass sie am Schweißprozess
unbeteiligte Personen vor gefährlicher Strahlung, vor Schweißlichtbögen und vor Spritzern schützen.
Schweißvorhänge, -streifen und -abschirmungen, die in dieser Norm festgelegt sind, sind kein Ersatz für
Schweißerschutzfilter. Für eine direkte Beobachtung von Schweißlichtbögen aus einem Abstand weniger als
2 m sind Schweißerschutzfilter nach EN 169 einzusetzen.
Die vorliegende Norm gilt nicht für Schweißprozesse, bei denen Laserstrahlung eingesetzt wird.
Aus Gründen eines besseren Komforts sollten dunkle Vorhänge oder Abschirmungen für die beidseitige
Trennung von angrenzenden Arbeitsplätzen verwendet werden.

Hygiène et sécurité en soudage et techniques connexes - Rideaux, lanières et écrans transparents pour les procédés de soudage à l'arc

La présente norme spécifie les prescriptions de sécurité relatives aux rideaux, lanières et écrans transparents
utilisés pour la protection des lieux de travail situés à proximité de zones où sont appliqués des procédés de
soudage à l'arc. Ils sont conçus pour protéger les personnes qui ne sont pas impliquées dans le processus de
soudage contre le danger des rayonnements émis par l'arc et des projections. Les rideaux, lanières et écrans
de soudage spécifiés dans la présente norme ne sont pas destinés à remplacer les filtres de soudage. Il
convient d'utiliser des filtres spécifiques, spécifiés dans l'EN 169, pour observer la soudure à l'arc à une
distance de moins de 2 m.
La présente norme ne s'applique pas aux procédés de soudage qui utilisent les rayons laser.
Pour des raisons de confort, il convient d'utiliser des rideaux ou des écrans plus sombres pour séparer des
lieux de travail adjacents.

Varnost in zdravje pri varjenju in sorodnih postopkih - Prosojne zavese, trakovi in zasloni pri obločnih postopkih

Ta standard določa varnostne zahteve za prosojne zavese, trakove in zaslone, ki se uporabljajo pri obločnih postopkih za zaščito delovnih prostorov pred okolico. Namenjeni so zaščiti ljudi pred nevarnimi emisijami iz varilnih oblokov in škropljenjem. Varilne zavese, trakovi in zasloni, ki jih določa ta standard, ne nadomeščajo varilnih filtrov. Ustrezne varilne filtre za opazovanje varilnih oblokov z razdalje, krajše od 2 m, določa EN 169. Ta standard ne velja za varilne postopke, pri katerih se uporablja lasersko sevanje.
Temnejše zavese ali zasloni se zaradi udobja lahko uporabljajo za ločevanje sosednjih delovnih mest.
