NF EN ISO 25980

Le présent document spécifie les prescriptions relatives aux rideaux, aux lanières et aux écrans transparents utilisés sur les lieux de travail où sont effectuées les opérations de soudage à l'arc. Ces équipements sont conçus pour la protection des personnes autres que les opérateurs, contre les rayonnements émis par l'arc et les projections.

<p class="MsoBodyText"><span lang="EN-GB">This document specifies safety requirements for transparent welding curtains, strips and screens to be used in workplaces where arc welding is taking place. They are intended to provide protection against harmful levels of optical radiation and spatter for workers who are in the vicinity of arc welding processes but not involved in the welding itself. They are intended to reduce the discomfort glare from the arc but also allow sufficient luminous transmittance to permit a view into the workspace behind.</span></p> <p class="MsoBodyText"><span lang="EN-GB">The transparent welding curtains can also be used in other applications as long as the UV- and blue-light emissions are less than in arc welding and the transmitted infrared irradiance is below applicable exposure limits. They are designed to be used at a distance from the arc of at least 1 m.</span></p> <p class="MsoBodyText"><span lang="EN-GB">Welding curtains, strips and screens specified in this document are not intended to replace welding filters. For intentional viewing of welding arcs, other means of protection are used, see ISO 16321-1 and ISO 16321-2.</span></p> <p class="MsoBodyText"><span lang="EN-GB">This document is not applicable to protection against laser radiation, for which ISO 19818-1 applies.</span></p>
