Protective clothing for use in welding and allied processes (ISO 11611:2007)

This International / European Standard specifies minimum basic safety requirements and test methods for protective clothing for operators to be worn during welding and allied processes with comparable risks.
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, ultra violet (UV) radiation from the arc, and to provide certain electrical insulation (see clause 8.2c).
It shall be classified according to the risk assessment and the degree of protection required against flames, spatter, radiant heat, UV radiation.
Class 1 is protection against less hazardous welding techniques and situations.
Class 2 is protection against more hazardous welding techniques and situations.
Note - Refer to table given in Annex A.

Schutzkleidung für Schweißen und verwandte Verfahren (ISO 11611:2007)

Diese Internationale Norm legt die grundlegenden Mindestanforderungen an die Sicherheit und die Prüfverfahren für Schutzkleidung fest einschließlich Hauben, Schürzen, Überziehärmel und Gamaschen, die dafür vorgesehen ist, den Träger einschließlich Kopf (Haube) und Füße (Gamaschen) beim Schweißen und verwandten Prozessen mit vergleichbaren Risiken zu schützen. Der Anwendungsbereich dieser Inter¬nationalen Norm umfasst zum Schutz des Kopfes und der Füße des Schweißers nur Gamaschen und Hauben. Diese Internationale Norm legt keine Anforderungen an Handschutz fest.
Diese Art Schutzkleidung ist dazu vorgesehen, den Träger gegen Schweißspritzer (kleine Spritzer geschmol¬zenen Metalls), kurzzeitigen Kontakt mit Flammen sowie Strahlungswärme aus dem Lichtbogen zu schützen und sie bietet unter üblichen Schweißbedingungen in begrenztem Maße elektrische Isolation gegenüber unter Gleichspannung bis ungefähr 100 V stehenden elektrischen Leitern. Schweiß, Verschmutzung oder andere Verunreinigungen können den Schutz gegen kurzzeitiges unbeabsichtigtes Berühren von spannungs¬führenden elektrischen Leitern bis zu dieser Spannung beeinträchtigen.
Diese Internationale Norm legt zwei Klassen mit spezifischen Leistungsanforderungen fest (siehe Anhang A), wobei Klasse 1 die niedrigere Klasse und Klasse 2 die höhere Klasse ist.
   Klasse 1 (niedrigere Klasse) bietet Schutz gegen weniger gefährdende Schweißverfahren und Arbeits¬platz¬situationen mit weniger Schweißspritzern und niedrigerer Strahlungswärme.
   Klasse 2 (höhere Klasse) bietet Schutz gegen stärker gefährdende Schweißverfahren und Arbeits¬platzsituationen mit mehr Schweißspritzern und stärkerer Strahlungswärme.
Einzelheiten sind in Tabelle 1 und Anhang B angegeben.
Für angemessenen Schutz gegen Risiken, denen Schweißer üblicherweise ausgesetzt sind, sollte persönliche Schutzausrüstung (PSA) für Kopf, Gesicht, Hände und Füße entsprechend anderen Normen getragen werden.

Vetements de protection utilisés pendant le soudage et les techniques connexes (ISO 11611:2007)

L'ISO 11611:2007 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 y compris la tête (cagoules) et les pieds (guêtres) et qui doivent être portés durant des opérations de soudage et autres procédés techniques ayant des risques comparables. Pour la protection de la tête et des pieds, l'ISO 11611:2007 s'applique seulement pour les cagoules et les guêtres. L'ISO 11611:2007 ne couvre pas les exigences pour la protection de la main.
Ce type de vêtement de protection est destiné à protéger celui qui le porte contre les projections (petites projections de métal en fusion), contre le contact de courte durée avec une flamme, contre la chaleur radiante provenant de l'arc et à fournir un certain degré d'isolation électrique en cas de contact accidentel avec un conducteur électrique à un voltage supérieur à approximativement 100 V en courant continu dans des conditions normales de soudage. La sueur, des salissures ou d'autres polluants peuvent affecter le niveau de protection apporté contre un contact accidentel avec un conducteur électrique à ces voltages.
L'ISO 11611:2007 spécifie deux classes avec des exigences de performance, la Classe 1 étant la plus faible et la Classe 2 la plus élevée.
La Classe 1 est la protection contre des techniques de soudage et les situations provoquant le moins de projections et une chaleur radiante faible.
La Classe 2 est la protection contre les techniques de soudage et les situations provoquant plus de projections et une chaleur radiante plus élevée.
Pour une protection complète adéquate contre les risques rencontrés par les soudeurs, il convient que des EPI couverts par d'autres normes soient portés en complément afin de protéger la tête, le visage, les mains et les pieds.

ISO 11611:2007(E) iv © ISO 2007 – All rights reserved Foreword ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization. International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2. The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote. Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. ISO 11611 was prepared by the European Committee for Standardization (CEN) Technical Committee CEN/TC 162, Protective clothing including hand and arm protection and lifejackets, in collaboration with Technical Committee ISO/TC 94, Personal safety — Protective clothing and equipment, Subcommittee SC 13, Protective clothing, in accordance with the Agreement on technical cooperation between ISO and CEN (Vienna Agreement). ISO 11611 cancels and replaces EN 470-1:1995 and EN 470-1:1995/A1:1998, which have been technically revised to: a) include additional clothing in the scope; b) specify two classes of protective clothing; c) include additional terms and definitions; d) specify ageing due to washing (maximum number of cleaning procedures as indicated by the manufacturer); e) specify additional tests for heat transfer (radiation) and electrical resistance; f) specify requirements for inoccuousness; g) modify requirements for dimensional change on washing to include requirements for knitted fabrics;
h) delete test method for the thickness of leather; i) modify requirements for tensile strength and tear strength; j) specify requirements for burst strength and seam strength; k) include test procedure for the flame testing of seams and hemmed edges; l) modify the information to be supplied by the manufacturer; m) specify requirements for care and maintenance; n) include annex for the selection of welders' clothing; o) include annex regarding information on UV radiation hazards; p) include annex for uncertainty of measurement.



INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO 11611:2007(E) © ISO 2007 – All rights reserved 1Protective clothing for use in welding and allied processes 1 Scope This International Standard 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 hand protection. 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 the arc, 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. This International Standard specifies two classes with specific performance requirements (see Annex A), i.e. Class 1 being the lower level and Class 2 the higher level. ⎯ Class 1 is protection against less hazardous welding techniques and situations, causing lower levels of spatter and radiant heat. ⎯ Class 2 is protection against more hazardous welding techniques and situations, causing higher levels of spatter and radiant heat. Details are given in Table 1 and Annex B.
For adequate overall protection against the risks to which welders are likely to be exposed, personal protective equipment (PPE) covered by other standards should additionally be worn to protect the head, face, hands and feet. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document.
