Measurement and assessment of personal exposures to incoherent optical radiation - Part 3: UV-Radiation emitted by the sun
This European Standard specifies procedures for the measurement or estimation and the assessment of personal exposures to ultraviolet radiation emitted by the sun.
NOTE 1 According to CIE 17.4 UV-radiation is defined as an electromagnetic radiation with wavelength between 100 nm and 400 nm. Due to atmospheric absorption only solar UV-radiation in the spectral region between 280 nm and 400 nm reaches the earth's surface in significant amounts.
This European Standard applies to solar UV-exposures when staying outdoors.
This European Standard is applicable to workers and to the general population.
This European Standard does not apply to UV-exposures caused by artificial sources, e.g. UV-lamps, welding arcs.
NOTE 2 Part 1 of this European Standard deals with UV-exposures caused by artificial sources.
NOTE 3 For radiation emissions of products other standards apply, such as CIE S 009 for lamps and lamp systems, EN 60335-2-27 [6] for sunbeds, EN 60335-2-59 [7] for insect killers and EN 12198 [8] for radiation emissions of machinery.
This European Standard does not apply to radiation exposures which concern the retina of the eyes.
NOTE 4 Ultraviolet and visible radiation exposures of the eyes may result in photochemical damage to the retina (this is often called the blue light hazard). The associated action spectrum contains mainly visible radiation and only a very small contribution in the ultraviolet region. The determination and assessment of radiation which may result in a blue light hazard may be done in accordance with part 2 of EN 14255 [20].
Messung und Beurteilung von personenbezogenen Expositionen gegenüber inkohärenter optischer Strahlung - Teil 3: Von der Sonne emittierte UV-Strahlung
Diese Europäische Norm legt Verfahren zur Messung oder Abschätzung und zur Beurteilung von personenbezogenen
Expositionen durch ultraviolette Strahlung, die von der Sonne emittiert wird, fest.
ANMERKUNG 1 Nach CIE 17.4 ist UV-Strahlung als elektromagnetische Strahlung mit Wellenlängen zwischen 100 nm
und 400 nm definiert. Durch die Absorption in der Atmosphäre erreicht nur die solare UV-Strahlung im Spektralbereich
zwischen 280 nm und 400 nm die Erdoberfläche in wesentlicher Stärke.
Diese Europäische Norm gilt für solare UV-Expositionen beim Aufenthalt im Freien.
Diese Europäische Norm ist auf Arbeitnehmer und auf die allgemeine Bevölkerung anwendbar.
Diese Europäische Norm gilt nicht für UV-Expositionen, die durch künstliche Quellen verursacht werden, z. B.
durch UV-Lampen und durch Schweißlichtbögen.
ANMERKUNG 2 Teil 1 dieser Europäischen Norm beschäftigt sich mit UV-Expositionen, die durch künstliche Quellen
verursacht werden.
ANMERKUNG 3 Für die Strahlungsemissionen von Produkten gelten andere Normen, wie beispielsweise CIE S 009 für
Lampen und Lampensysteme, EN 60335-2-27 [6] für Sonnenbänke, EN 60335-2-59 [7] für Insektenvernichter und
EN 12198 [8] für Strahlungsemissionen von Maschinen.
Diese Norm gilt nicht für Strahlungsexpositionen, die die Netzhaut der Augen betreffen.
ANMERKUNG 4 Ultraviolette und sichtbare Expositionen der Augen können zu photochemischen Netzhautschädigungen
führen (dies wird häufig auch Blaulichtgefährdung genannt). Das entsprechende Wirkungsspektrum enthält
hauptsächlich sichtbare Strahlung und nur einen sehr geringen Anteil im ultravioletten Bereich. Die Bestimmung und
Beurteilung der Strahlung, die zur Blaulichtgefährdung führt, kann nach Teil 2 der EN 14255 [20] erfolgen.
Mesurage et évaluation des expositions individuelles au rayonnement optique incohérent - Partie 3: Rayonnement ultraviolet émis par le soleil
La présente Norme européenne spécifie des modes opératoires de mesurage ou d’estimation et d’évaluation des expositions individuelles aux rayonnements ultraviolets (UV) émis par le soleil. NOTE 1 Conformément à la CIE 17.4, le rayonnement UV est défini comme un rayonnement électromagnétique dans la gamme de longueur d’onde de 100 nm à 400 nm. Du fait de l’absorption atmosphérique, seul le rayonnement UV solaire dans le domaine spectral compris entre 280 nm et 400 nm atteint la surface de la terre de façon significative. La présente Norme européenne s’applique à l’exposition aux UV solaires pendant les séjours en extérieur. La présente Norme européenne s’applique aux travailleurs et à la population en général. Elle ne s’applique pas à l’exposition aux UV émis par des sources artificielles, par exemple, les lampes UV, les arcs de soudage. NOTE 2 La partie 1 de la présente Norme européenne traite de l’exposition aux UV émis par des sources artificielles. NOTE 3 D’autres normes s’appliquent aux rayonnements émis par des appareils, par exemple : CIE S 009 pour les ampoules et systèmes d’éclairage, EN 60335-2-27 [6] pour les lits de bronzage, EN 60335-2-59 [7] pour les destructeurs d’insectes et EN 12198 [8] pour les rayonnements émis par les machines. La présente Norme européenne ne s’applique pas à l’exposition à des rayonnements atteignant la rétine. NOTE 4 L’exposition des yeux aux rayonnements ultraviolets et visibles peut entraîner des dommages photochimiques de la rétine (connus sous l’appellation ‘danger de la lumière bleue’). Le spectre d'action associé contient principalement le rayonnement visible et seulement une infirme contribution dans le domaine ultraviolet. La détermination et l'évaluation du rayonnement susceptible d’engendrer un danger de la lumière bleue peuvent être réalisées conformément à la partie 2 de l’EN 14255 [20].

Introduction People may be exposed to ultraviolet (UV) radiation emitted by artificial or natural sources. The most important natural source for UV-radiation exposure is the sun. Depending on global factors such as geographical position, season, time of day, altitude, cloudiness and individual factors such as clothing, the time spent outdoors may result in a significant UV-exposure to the sun. Exposure to ultraviolet radiation from the sun is of considerable health concern. UV-exposure can produce both beneficial and harmful health effects. Vitamin D production is recognized as a beneficial effect. Acute harmful effects on the eyes and the skin can be induced by short term UV-irradiation of high intensity. Typical injuries are photoconjunctivitis and photokeratitis of the eye and UV-erythema of the skin. Minor doses of UV-radiation may induce or aggravate some diseases such as porphyria or lupus erythematosis or may trigger phototoxic and photoallergic reactions. The visible and the infrared part of the radiation spectrum of the sun may also cause short term injuries, when overexposure occurs, such as thermal damage to the skin as well as thermal and photochemical injuries of the retina of the eyes. However, visible and infrared radiation exposures are not dealt with in this standard.
Additionally, long term UV-irradiation may result in damage to the eyes and skin, such as cataracts, skin aging and skin cancer. There is also increasing evidence that UV-exposure suppresses the immune system, which could lead to a reduction in the efficacy of immunization programmes and increase the spread of infectious diseases. Between two and three million non-melanoma skin cancers are diagnosed worldwide each year which are rarely fatal and can be surgically removed; approximately 132,000 melanoma skin cancers occur globally each year. Melanoma is responsible for approximately 80 % of an estimated 66,000 deaths annually due to skin cancer [1]. Worldwide some 12 to 15 million people become blind from cataracts annually, of which up to 20% may be caused or aggravated by sun exposure, according to estimates by the World Health Organization (WHO). These numbers will increase as the stratospheric ozone layer is depleted over the next decades, unless people become aware of the haza
