SIST EN 379:2003+A1:2009

Personal eye-protection - Automatic welding filters

This European standard specifies requirements for automatic welding filters which switch their luminous transmittance to a lower predetermined value when a welding arc is ignited (referred to as welding filters with switchable scale numbers). It also specifies requirements for automatic welding filters which switch their luminous transmittance to a lower value, where the lower value of luminous transmittance is set automatically in dependence on the illuminance generated by the welding arc (referred to as welding filters with automatic scale number setting).
The requirements of this standard apply if such a filter is to be used for continuous viewing of the welding process, (including gas welding and cutting), and if it is to be used only during the period when the arc is being ignited.
These filters are used in welders' eye protectors or are fixed to equipment.
If they are to be used in welders’ eye protectors, other applicable requirements for these types of filters are given in EN 166. The requirements for the frames/mountings to which they are intended to be fitted are given in EN 175.
Guidance on the selection and use of these filters is given in annex A.
The specifications for welding filters without switchable luminous transmittance are given in EN 169.

Protection individuelle de l'oeil - Filtres de soudage automatique

La présente Norme européenne spécifie les exigences relatives aux filtres de soudage automatique qui commutent
leur facteur de transmission dans le visible à une valeur prédéterminée plus faible lorsqu’un arc de soudage est
amorcé (on appelle ces filtres des filtres de soudage à numéro d’échelon commutable). La présente norme précise
également les exigences relatives aux filtres de soudage automatique qui commutent leur facteur de transmission
dans le visible à une valeur plus faible, lorsque cette dernière est réglée automatiquement en fonction de l’éclairement
lumineux généré par l’arc de soudage (on appelle ces filtres des filtres de soudage à réglage automatique du
numéro d’échelon).
Les exigences de la présente norme s’appliquent si un filtre de ce type doit être utilisé pour l’observation continue
du processus de soudage et s’il doit être utilisé uniquement pendant la période où l’arc est amorcé.
Ces filtres sont utilisés dans les équipements de protection de l’oeil pour soudeurs ou sont fixés à un équipement.
Lorsque ces filtres doivent être utilisés dans les équipements de protection de l’oeil pour soudeurs, d’autres exigences
applicables concernant ces types de filtres sont données dans l’EN 166. Les exigences concernant les
montures/supports sur lesquels ils doivent être montés sont données dans l’EN 175.
L’annexe A fournit un guide pour le choix et l’utilisation de ces filtres.
Les spécifications concernant les filtres de soudage sans facteur de transmission dans le visible commutable figurent
dans l’EN 169.
