EN ISO 11611:2015

Protective clothing for use in welding and allied processes (ISO 11611:2015)

ISO 11611:2015 specifies minimum basic safety requirements and test methods for protective clothing including hoods, aprons, sleeves, and gaiters that are designed to protect the wearer's body including head (hoods) and feet (gaiters) and that are to be worn during welding and allied processes with comparable risks. For the protection of the wearer's head and feet, this International Standard is only applicable to hoods and gaiters. This International Standard does not cover requirements for feet, hand, face, and/or eye protectors.
This type of protective clothing is intended to protect the wearer against spatter (small splashes of molten metal), short contact time with flame, radiant heat from an electric arc used for welding and allied processes, and minimizes the possibility of electrical shock by short-term, accidental contact with live electrical conductors at voltages up to approximately 100 V d. c. in normal conditions of welding. Sweat, soiling, or other contaminants can affect the level of protection provided against short-term accidental contact with live electric conductors at these voltages.
For adequate overall protection against the risks to which welders are likely to be exposed, personal protective equipment (PPE) covered by other International Standards should additionally be worn to protect the head, face, hands, and feet.
Guidance for the selection of the type of welders clothing for different welding activities is detailed in Annex A.

Schutzkleidung für Schweißen und verwandte Verfahren (ISO 11611:2015)

Vêtements de protection utilisés pendant le soudage et les techniques connexes (ISO 11611:2015)

L'ISO 11611:2015 spécifie les exigences essentielles de sécurité minimales et les méthodes d'essai des vêtements de protection, comprenant les cagoules, les tabliers, les manches et les guêtres, destinés à protéger le corps de l'utilisateur, y compris la tête (cagoules) et les pieds (guêtres) et qui doivent être portés durant des opérations de soudage et autres techniques connexes ayant des risques comparables. Pour la protection de la tête et des pieds, l'ISO 11611:2015 s'applique seulement pour les cagoules et les guêtres. L'ISO 11611:2015 ne couvre pas les exigences pour la protection de la main, du visage et/ou des yeux.

Varovalna obleka pri varjenju in sorodnih postopkih (ISO 11611:2015)

Ta mednarodni standard določa minimalne osnovne varnostne zahteve in preskusne metode za varovalno obleko, vključno s pokrivali, predpasniki, rokavi in gamašami, ki so namenjeni za zaščito telesa uporabnika, vključno z glavo (pokrivala) in nogami (gamaše), in ki jih je treba nositi pri varjenju ter sorodnih postopkih s primerljivimi tveganji. Glede zaščite uporabnikove glave in nog se ta mednarodni standard uporablja samo za pokrivala in gamaše. Ta mednarodni standard ne zajema zahtev za zaščito nog, rok, obraza in/ali oči. Ta vrsta varovalne obleke je namenjena zaščiti uporabnika pred brizganjem (brizgom staljene kovine), kratkim stikom s plamenom, toplotnim sevanjem iz električnega obloka, ki se uporablja za varjenje in sorodne postopke. Varovalna obleka tudi zmanjšuje možnost električnega udara, ki lahko nastane zaradi kratkega, nenamernega stika z živimi električnimi vodniki pri enosmerni napetosti do približno 100 V v normalnih pogojih varjenja. Znoj, umazanija ali druga nesnaga lahko vplivajo na raven zaščite pred kratkotrajnim stikom z živimi električnimi vodniki pri tej napetosti. Za ustrezno splošno zaščito pred tveganji, ki so jim izpostavljeni varilci, je treba dodatno nositi osebno varovalno opremo (PPE) za glavo, obraz, roke in noge, ki je opisana v drugih standardih. Smernice za izbor vrste oblačil za varilce, ki opravljajo različne dejavnosti varjenja, so podrobno opisane v Dodatku A tega mednarodnega standarda.
