Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies
(ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO
technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been
established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and
non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the
International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards
adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an
International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
ISO 10882-1 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 44, Welding and allied processes, Subcommittee
SC 9 and by Technical Committee CEN/TC 121, Welding in collaboration.
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (ISO 10882-1:2001, which has been technically
revised.
ISO 10882 consists of the following parts, under the general title Health and safety in welding and allied
processes — Sampling of airborne particles and gases in the operator's breathing zone:

Introduction
This Part of ISO 10882 gives details of relevant standards which specify required characteristics, performance
requirements and test methods; augments guidance provided in EN 689 on assessment strategy and
measurement strategy; specifies a procedure for gravimetric determination of personal exposure to airborne
particles in the operator's breathing zone and provides references to other standards that cover the use of
chemical analysis to determine personal exposure to specific chemical agents.
A person who performs welding and allied processes (the operator) can be exposed to welding fume and to
other airborne particles generated by welding-related operations, e.g. grinding. In some instances exposure to
other airborne particles will be higher than exposure to welding fume.
It has been assumed in the drafting of this standard that the execution of its provisions, and the interpretation
of the results obtained, is entrusted to appropriately qualified and experienced people.

DRAFT INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO/DIS 10882-1

Health and safety in welding and allied processes — Sampling of
airborne particles and gases in the operator's breathing zone —
Part 1:
Sampling of airborne particles
1 Scope
This Part of ISO 10882 specifies a procedure for personal sampling of airborne particles from welding and
allied processes. It also specifies a procedure for gravimetric determination of personal exposure to airborne
particles in the operator's breathing zone and provides references to suitable methods, described in other
standards, on the use of chemical analysis to determine personal exposure to specific chemical agents
present in welding fume and other airborne particles generated by welding related operations.
The general background level of airborne particles in the workplace atmosphere influences personal exposure
and therefore the role of fixed point sampling is also considered.

3.1.2
breathing zone
space around the worker's face from where he takes his breath
NOTE 1 For technical purposes, a more precise definition is as follows: hemisphere (generally accepted to be 30 cm in
radius) extending in front of the human face, centred on a mid point of a line joining the ears; the base of the hemisphere
is a plane through this line, the top of the head and the larynx. This technical description is not applicable when respiratory
protective equipment is used.

NOTE 2 Adapted from EN 1540: 1998 .
3.1.3
exposure (by inhalation)
situation in which a chemical (or biological) agent is present in air which is inhaled by a person
NOTE 1 It is described in terms of the concentration of the (chemical or biological) agent, as derived from exposure
measurements, and is referred to the same reference period as that used for the limit value.
NOTE 2 Adapted from EN 689:1995.
3.1.4
(occupational exposure) limit value
limit of the time-weighted average concentration of a chemical agent in the air within the breathing zone of a

total airborne particle concentration.

[4]
[EN 175:1997]
3.3.3
headband
that part of the harness to which the welder's face shield is fixed and which surrounds the head, or that part of

3.3.4
operator
person who performs welding and allied processes
3.3.5
operator's breathing zone
restricted breathing zone, behind a face shield
NOTE It is very important to sample as near as possible to the operator's nose and mouth when measuring exposure
to welding fume because of the very steep concentration gradients that occur in the immediate vicinity of the plume. It is
therefore essential to sample behind a welder's face shield, when one is worn, since it is the air in this region that is
inhaled.
3.3.6
welder's face shield
welder's shield worn on the head and in front of the face, usually secured in position by a harness to give
protection to the eyes and face when fitted with the appropriate filter(s)
