Screens for laser working places - Safety requirements and testing
This European Standard specifies functional requirements and a product labelling applicable to temporary and permanent passive guards (in the following called screens) for protection against laser radiation. This standard includes test methods for testing functional performance and the specification of the user documentation to be supplied with the product. The screens are designed to protect the user from: unintentional exposure to direct and/or diffuse laser radiation; a time limited exposure to laser radiation, based on the functional requirements determined by risk assessment. This European Standard applies to supervised screens for installations in working places at which laser radiation up to a maximum mean power of 100 W or single pulse energy of 30 J occurs within the spectral range between 180 nm (0,18 μm) and 106 nm (1 000 μm). This European Standard applies to the protection against laser radiation only. This standard does not apply to other hazards including hazards from secondary radiation that can arise during, for example, material processing. This European Standard gives guidance on how to select such screens. Laser enclosures and housings that are supplied as part of the laser product or are supplied to be fitted to a laser system to form a laser product (according to EN 60825-1) are not considered to be within the scope of the standard.
Abschirmungen an Laserarbeitsplätzen - Sicherheitstechnische Anforderungen und Prüfung
Diese Europäische Norm legt Anforderungen an die Funktion sowie ein Produkt-Kennzeichnungssystem für zeitweilige oder permanente passive Schutzwände zum Schutz vor Laserstrahlung (nachfolgend Abschirmungen genannt) fest. Diese Europäische Norm enthält Prüfverfahren für die Funktion und auch die Benutzerinformation, die mit dem Produkt zu liefern ist. Die Abschirmungen sind konstruiert, um den Benutzer vor unkontrollierter Ausbreitung von direkter und/oder gestreuter Strahlung für festgelegte Laserbestrahlung zu schützen, nachdem die erforderliche Funktion für die jeweilige Anwendung durch eine Risikoanalyse bestimmt wurde.
Diese Europäische Norm gilt für überwachte Abschirmungen für den Aufbau an Arbeitsplätzen, an denen Laserstrahlung mit maximal 100 W mittlerer Leistung oder 30 J Einzelimpulsenergie im Spektralbereich von 180 nm (0,18 *m) bis 106 nm (1000 *m) eingesetzt wird.
Diese Europäische Norm gilt nur für den Schutz gegen Laserstrahlung. Sie gilt nicht für andere Gefahren einschließlich der Gefährdung durch Sekundärstrahlung, die beispielsweise während der Materialbearbeitung entstehen kann.
Diese Europäische Norm gibt Hinweise zur Auswahl solcher Abschirmungen.
Folgendes fällt nicht unter den Anwendungsbereich dieser Europäische Norm:
- Laserumschließungen und -gehäuse, die als Teil der Lasereinrichtung oder zum Anbau an ein Lasersystem geliefert werden, um eine Lasereinrichtung (nach IEC 60825 1:2007) zu bilden;
Abschirmungen, deren Schutzwirkung auf einen bestimmten Bereich von Einfallswinkeln beschränkt ist (wie beispielsweise einige Interferenzfilter).
Ecrans pour postes de travail au laser - Exigences et essais de sécurité
La présente norme spécifie les exigences fonctionnelles et le système d'étiquetage applicables à une gamme de protecteurs laser passifs, temporaires ou permanents (dans la suite appelés écrans), destinés à la protection contre le rayonnement laser. La présente norme comprend des méthodes d'essai pour les performances fonctionnelles ainsi que des spécifications pour la documentation à fournir avec le produit. Les écrans sont conçus pour protéger l'utilisateur de l'émission incontrôlée de rayonnement direct et/ou diffus pour une exposition définie aux lasers, fondée sur les spécifications fonctionnelles nécessaires pour toute application particulière déterminée par les principes d'analyse du risque.
La présente norme s'applique aux écrans surveillés pour les installations des postes de travail où le rayonnement laser atteint une puissance moyenne maximale de 100 W ou une énergie maximale d’impulsion de 30 J, dans le domaine spectral de 180 nm (0,18 m) à 106 nm (1 000 m).
La présente norme s'applique uniquement à la protection contre le rayonnement laser. Elle ne s'applique pas aux autres risques, y compris les risques dus au rayonnement secondaire qui peuvent apparaître, par exemple, pendant le traitement des matériaux.
En outre, la présente norme donne des indications pour le choix de tels écrans.
Ne sont pas traités dans cette norme :
les enceintes et capotages laser qui font partie d'un équipement laser, ou qui sont fournis pour être incorporés à un système laser et former un équipement laser (selon la CEI 60825-1:2007) ;
tout écran qui ne protège que dans une gamme réduite d'angles d'incidence (par exemple certains filtres à couches interférentielles).
Zasloni pri delu z laserji - Varovalne zahteve in preskušanje
Ta evropski standard opredeljuje funkcionalne zahteve in etiketiranje proizvodov, ki se uporablja za začasna in stalna pasivna varovala (v nadaljevanju: zasloni) za zaščito pred laserskim sevanjem. Ta standard zajema metode preskušanja za preskušanje funkcionalnega delovanja in specifikacijo dokumentacije za uporabnika, ki mora biti dobavljena s proizvodom. Zasloni so zasnovani za zaščito uporabnika pred: nenamerno izpostavljenostjo neposrednemu in/ali razpršenemu laserskemu sevanju; časovno omejeno izpostavljenostjo laserskemu sevanju, osnovano na funkcionalnih zahtevah, ki jih opredeljuje ocena tveganja. Ta evropski standard se uporablja za nadzorovane zaslone za objekte in naprave na delovnih mestih, kjer je lasersko sevanje do najvišje povprečne moči 100 W ali pulzirajoče enosmerne energije 30 J, v območju spektra med 180 nm (0,18 μm) in 106 nm (1 000 μm). Ta evropski standard se uporablja samo za zaščito pred laserskim sevanjem. Ta standard se ne uporablja za druge nevarnosti, vključno z nevarnostmi, ki izvirajo iz sekundarnega sevanja, do katerega lahko pride med, na primer predelavo materiala. Ta evropski standard podaja vodilo, kako izbrati takšne zaslone. Ograde in ohišja laserjev, ki so dobavljeni kot del laserskega proizvoda ali so dobavljeni z namenom, da bi bili pritrjeni na laserski sistem, s čimer tvorijo laserski proizvod (v skladu z EN 60825-1), se ne štejejo v področje uporabe tega standarda.

EN 12254:2010 (E) 5 3 Terms and definitions For the purposes of this document, the terms and definitions given in EN 165:2005, EN 60825-1:2007, EN 60825-4:2006 and IEC 60050-845:1987 apply. 4 Requirements 4.1 Spectral transmittance The relationship between spectral transmittance at the laser wavelength and resistance to laser radiation is based on the maximum permissible exposure (MPE) shown in EN 60825-1. To simplify product specification, tests are conducted for laser test conditions described in Table 1. The laser test conditions are referred to by the symbols D, I, R and M. Table 1 — Duration of test applicable to screens for laser working places Test condition (corresponding laser designation) Pulse duration s Number of pulses D (continuous wave (CW) laser) 100 1 I (pulsed laser) 10-6 to 10-2 1 000 R (Giant pulsed laser) 10-9 to 10-6 1 000 M (Mode-coupled pulsed laser) ≤ 10-9 100 000 NOTE The listed pulse durations are values of typical lasers. A laser with a pulse length in this range of values is recommended for testing. Total exposure time for each test should be about 100 s.
4.2 Resistance to laser radiation The screens shall not lose their protective properties and shall stay within the scale number under effect of laser radiation with the power and energy density as specified in Table 2 including induced transmission (reversible bleaching). 4.3 Stability to UV radiation When exposed to ultraviolet radiation in accordance with 5.4.1, the spectral transmittance at the laser wavelengths shall not exceed the maximum permissible spectral transmittance of the corresponding scale number. 4.4 Stability to elevated temperature After exposure to elevated temperature in accordance with 5.4.2, the requirements of 4.1 to 4.2 shall be met. 4.5 Mechanical strength Flexible screens shall withstand for 10 s a tensile stress of 15 N/mm2 when tested according to 5.5.1. After this test, no sample shall be torn. Inflexible screens shall be robust in accordance to 7.1.4.2 of EN 166:2001. Fixing systems of screens shall be designed so that they remain attached to the screens or to the machinery when the screens are removed. SIST EN 12254:2010
EN 12254:2010 (E) 6 4.6 Resistance to ignition Flexible screens shall satisfy the requirements of 4.4 of EN 1598:1997 when tested in accordance with 4.4 of EN 1598:1997 and EN 1598:1997/A1:2001. Inflexible screens shall meet requirements according to 7.1.7 of EN 166:2001. 5 Testing 5.1 General The testing schedule in Table 3 applies to testing of flexible and inflexible screens. At least 18 samples are required for testing. If testing for several wavelengths (wavelength ranges) or testing conditions according to Tables 1 and 3 has to be done, more samples can be necessary. 5.2 Spectral transmittance The spectral transmittance shall be determined at normal incidence. Screens with angular-dependent transmittance shall be measured at angles of incidence between 0° and 90° with polarised radiation. In this case, the scale number results from the highest of the spectral transmittance values measured. 5.3 Resistance to laser radiation Testing shall be carried out with laser radiation of the specific wavelength(s) and the power and energy densities as indicated in Table 2. Spectral transmittance at the laser wavelength shall be measured during the exposure to laser radiation. SIST EN 12254:2010

The values of energy density (H) in Table 2 for testing the resistance against laser radiation for pulsed lasers (I, R, M) should be multiplied with the factor N-1/4, where N is the number of pulses in 100 s. For pulsed lasers, testing should be done with low repetition rates (≤ 25 Hz). If not possible, the energy density used for testing shall be given and the product shall be marked in accordance with Clause 6. The diameter d63 of the laser beam during this test shall be (1 ± 0,1) mm. The testing period is indicated in Table 1. For pulse durations < 1 ns the diameter d63 of the laser beam during this test shall be ≥ 0,5 mm. NOTE The pulse lengths for test conditions I and R do not follow consecutively. Neither are they a continuation of the length for test condition D. The pulse lengths indicated are characteristic values of typical lasers. It is recommended to use a laser with a pulse length in this range. All screens
