Health and safety in welding and allied processes - Laboratory method for sampling fume and gases - Part 4: Fume data sheets (ISO 15011-4:2006)

ISO 15011-4:2006 covers health and safety in welding and allied processes.
ISO 15011-4:2006 specifies requirements for determination of the emission rate and chemical composition of welding fume in order to prepare fume data sheets..
It applies to all filler materials used for joining or surfacing by arc welding using a manual, partly mechanised or fully automatic process, depositing unalloyed steel, alloyed steel and non-ferrous alloys. Manual metal arc welding, gas-shielded metal arc welding with solid wires, metal-cored and flux-cored wires and arc welding with self-shielded flux-cored wires are included within the scope of ISO 15011-4:2006.

ISO 15011-4:2006(E)
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 15011-4 was prepared by the European Committee for Standardization (CEN) Technical Committee
CEN/TC 121, Welding in collaboration with Technical Committee ISO/TC 44, Welding and allied processes,
Subcommittee SC 9, Health and safety, in accordance with the Agreement on technical cooperation between
ISO and CEN (Vienna Agreement).
ISO 15011 consists of the following parts, under the general title Health and safety in welding and allied
processes — Laboratory method for sampling fume and gases generated by arc:
⎯ Part 1: Determination of emission rate and sampling for analysis of particulate fume
⎯ Part 2: Determination of emission rates of gases, except ozone
⎯ Part 3: Determination of ozone concentration using fixed point measurements
⎯ Part 4: Fume data sheets
⎯ Part 5: Identification of thermal-degradation products generated when welding or cutting through products
composed wholly or partly of organic materials

ISO 15011-4:2006(E)
Introduction
Welding and allied processes produce airborne particles and gaseous by-products that can be harmful to
human health. Knowledge of the quantity and composition of the airborne particles and gases emitted can be
useful for occupational hygienists in assessing workplace exposure and in determining appropriate control
measures.
Welding processes, consumables and parameters give rise to various fume emission rates, which in turn lead
to different welder exposures. Emission rate cannot be used directly to assess exposure. However, processes,
consumables and welding parameters that give lower emission rates generally result in lower welder
exposures than processes with higher emission rates used in the same working situation.
The purpose of this part of ISO 15011 is to specify conditions under which fume is generated for the purpose
of obtaining fume emission and chemical composition data for use in health and safety applications. Clear
instructions and supporting informative guidance is provided in order to ensure that the welding conditions
used are selected thoughtfully according to a standardized procedure. At the same time, the need to fully
report the welding conditions used in the test is emphasised, and an example is provided of how such
information is to be conveyed on a fume data sheet. This part of ISO 15011 also gives information about how
the data obtained can be used.
It has been assumed in the drafting of this part of ISO 15011 that the execution of its provisions and the
interpretation of the results obtained are entrusted to appropriately qualified and experienced people.
Requests for official interpretations of any aspect of this part of ISO 15011 should be directed to the
Secretariat of ISO/TC 44/SC 9 via your national standards body, a complete of listing of which can be found at
http://www.iso.org.
