Eye and face protection for occupational use - Part 2: Additional requirements for protectors used during welding and related techniques (ISO 16321-2:2021)

This document specifies additional material, design, performance and marking requirements for eye and face protectors designed to provide protection for the eyes and faces of persons against occupational hazards, such as optical radiation, impacts from flying particles and fragments, and hot solids during welding and related techniques. The other applicable requirements for welding protectors are given in ISO 16321‑1.
This document also applies to welding protectors used in educational establishments.
This document also applies to those eye and face protectors used for occupational-type tasks that are performed similarly to an occupation, e.g. "do-it-yourself".

Augen- und Gesichtsschutz für berufliche Anwendungen - Teil 2: Zusätzliche Anforderungen an Schutzgeräte, die während des Schweißens und verwandten Verfahren verwendet werden (ISO 16321-2:2021)

Dieses Dokument legt zusätzliche Anforderungen an die Werkstoffe, das Design, die Leistung und die Kennzeichnung von Augen- und Gesichtsschutzgeräten fest, die so ausgelegt sind, dass sie Augen und Gesicht von Personen vor beruflichen Gefährdungen schützen, die beim Schweißen und verwandten Verfahren auftreten, wie z. B. optische Strahlung, herumfliegende Partikel und Bruchstücke und heiße Festkörper. Die anderen geltenden Anforderungen an Schweißerschutzgeräte sind in ISO 16321-1 enthalten.
Dieses Dokument gilt auch für Schweißerschutzgeräte, die in Bildungseinrichtungen angewendet werden.
Dieses Dokument gilt auch für diejenigen Augen- und Gesichtsschutzgeräte, die bei der Ausübung von Aufgaben des beruflichen Typs, z. B. Heimwerken, angewendet werden, die ähnlich einem Beruf ausgeführt werden.

Protection des yeux et du visage à usage professionnel - Partie 2: Exigences complémentaires relatives aux protecteurs utilisés pour le soudage et les techniques connexes (ISO 16321-2:2021)

Le présent document spécifie les exigences complémentaires applicables au matériau, à la conception, aux performances et au marquage des protecteurs des yeux et du visage destinés à assurer une protection des yeux et du visage des personnes contre les risques professionnels, tels que le rayonnement optique, les impacts de particules et fragments projetés, et les solides chauds, survenant au cours des opérations de soudage et autres techniques connexes. Les autres exigences applicables pour les protecteurs de soudage sont données dans l'ISO 16321-1.
Le présent document s'applique également aux protecteurs de soudage utilisés dans les établissements de formation.
Le présent document s'applique également aux protecteurs des yeux et du visage utilisés pour des tâches de type professionnel, qui sont exécutées de la même manière que dans un cadre professionnel, par exemple le bricolage.
