This document is applicable to organizations of all sizes and sectors, including those that: a) have been operating throughout the pandemic; b) are resuming or planning to resume operations following full or partial closure; c) are re-occupying workplaces that have been fully or partially closed; d) are new and planning to operate for the first ...view more

ISO 21904-1 defines the general requirements for ventilation equipment used to capture and separate fumes generated by welding and allied processes, e.g. arc welding and thermal cutting.This document also specifies the test data to be marked on the capture devices.It applies to the design and manufacture of parts of the equipment including hoods for welding, ducting, filter units, air movers, systems that inform of unsafe operation and workplace practices to ensure safe working with regard to ex...view more

EN-ISO 21904-4 specifies two methods for establishing the minimum air volume flow rate. One method is dedicated for use with captor hoods, nozzles and slot nozzles with a ratio of slot length to hose diameter of 8:1 or less. The other method is dedicated for use with on-gun extraction devices.These methods are not applicable to down draught tables.

EN-ISO 21904-2 specifies a method for testing equipment for the separation of welding fume in order to determine whether its separation efficiency meets specified requirements.The method specified does not apply to testing of filter cartridges independent of the equipment in which they are intended to be used.This document applies to equipment that is manufactured after its publication.

This document specifies requirements for single-use sharps containers intended to hold potentially
hazardous sharps medical waste with or without sharps protection features, e.g. scalpel blades, trocars,
hypodermic needles and syringes.
It is applicable to single-use sharps containers that are supplied complete by the manufacturer and to
those that are supplied as components intended to be assembled by the user.
It is not applicable to reusable sharps containers or to the outer containers u...view more

This document describes health and safety practices in occupational settings relevant to nanotechnologies. This document focuses on the occupational manufacture and use of manufactured nano-objects, and their aggregates and agglomerates greater than 100 nm (NOAAs). It does not address health and safety issues or practices associated with NOAAs generated by natural processes, hot processes and other standard operations which unintentionally generate NOAAs, or potential consumer exposures or uses,...view more

The assessment of human exposure to vibration, to both the hand-arm system and the whole body, at the workplace relies on the combined evaluation of both vibration magnitudes and exposure times. Determining these values can employ various instrumentation types and data sources. ISO/TR 19664:2017 provides guidance and explanation of concepts used for the following:
- measurement processes;
- instrumentation types;
- vibration magnitude source.

This Standard defines a laboratory method for measuring the welding fume capture efficiency
of on-torch extraction systems. It is applicable to integrated on-torch systems and to systems where a
discrete extraction system is attached to the welding torch close to the arc area. The methodology is
suitable for use with all continuous wire welding processes, all material types and all welding
parameters.
The method can be used to evaluate the effects of variables such as extraction flow rate, ...view more

This document covers health and safety in welding and allied processes. It 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
mechanized or fully automatic process, depositing unalloyed steel, alloyed steel and non‑ferrous
alloys. Manual metal arc welding, gas‑shielded metal arc welding with solid wir...view more

This document specifies additional competence requirements for personnel involved in the audit
and certification process for an occupational health and safety (OH&S) management system and
complements the existing requirements of ISO/IEC 17021-1.
Three types of personnel and certification functions are defined:
— auditors;
— personnel reviewing audit reports and making certification decisions;
— other personnel.
NOTE This document is applicable for auditing and certification of an OH&S man...view more
