Personal eye-protection - Ultraviolet filters - Transmittance requirements and recommended use

Personal eye-protection - Ultraviolet filters - Transmittance requirements and recommended use

This European Standard specifies the scale numbers and transmittance requirements for filters for protection against ultraviolet radiation. The other applicable requirements for these types of filters are given in EN 166:1995. Guidance on the selection and use of these filters are given in Annex A. NOTE: The protective filters specified in this standard are not suitable for the direct or indirect observation of an electric arc. For this purpose a welding filter appropriate to the source being observed should be used. Such a filter would not have a scale number less than 6.

Persönlicher Augenschutz - Ultraviolettschutzfilter - Transmissionsanforderungen und empfohlene Anwendung

Die vorliegende Europäische Norm legt Schutzstufen und Transmissionsanforderungen für Schutzfilter gegen Ultraviolettstrahlung fest.
Die weiteren geltenden Anforderungen für diese Filterarten und die Anforderungen für die Tragkörper/Rahmen, in die sie eingebaut werden sollen, sind in EN 166 angegeben.
Anhang B gibt einen Leitfaden für die Auswahl und Anwendung dieser Filter.
ANMERKUNG      Die in dieser Norm behandelten Schutzfilter sind nicht für das direkte Sehen in helle Lichtquellen wie Xenon-Hochdruckbogenlampen oder für die direkte oder indirekte Beobachtung eines Lichtbogens geeignet. Für diese Zwecke sollte ein Schweißerschutzfilter nach EN 169 mit einer entsprechenden Schutzstufe angewendet werden, das für die beobachtete Lichtquelle geeignet ist.

Protection individuelle de l'oeil - Filtres pour l'ultraviolet - Exigences relatives au facteur de transmission et utilisation recommandée

La présente Norme européenne spécifie les numéros d'échelon et les exigences relatives au facteur de transmission des filtres de protection contre le rayonnement ultraviolet.
Les autres exigences applicables pour ces types de filtres et les montures/supports sur lesquels ils doivent être montés figurent dans l'EN 166.
Un guide pour le choix et l'utilisation de ces filtres est donné à l'annexe B.
NOTE   Les filtres de protection spécifiés dans la présente norme ne conviennent pas pour l'observation directe de sources lumineuses vives telles que les lampes à arc de xénon à haute pression ou pour l'observation directe ou indirecte d'un arc de soudage électrique. Dans ce cas, il convient d'utiliser un filtre de soudage tel que spécifié dans l'EN 169, ayant un numéro d'échelon approprié à la source observée.

Eye and face protection - Protection against laser radiation - Part 1: Requirements and test methods (ISO 19818-1:2021)
SIST EN ISO 19818-1:2021

This document is applicable to protectors intended to provide protection against accidental exposure to laser radiation within the wavelength range 180 nm to 1 mm. It specifies the requirements, test methods and marking. Protectors intended for adjustment work on lasers are included in the scope of this document and are marked in the same way as other protectors, but selection of appropriate eyewear for a specific application is a choice of the user. Laser protective filters used as viewing windows in laser equipment machinery or incorporated into optical instruments such as operating microscopes and loupes that may be used for deliberate viewing of laser radiation as part of their function are outside the scope of this document.
Laser radiation in the wavelength range below 180 nm is absorbed in air, therefore eye and face protection should not be required.
This document is applicable to devices intended for patient protection during medical laser procedures except for treatment in the periorbital area. Guidance on eye protectors for patients (including those used for periorbital treatment) is given in ISO/TR 22463.
