Electric welding equipment - Assessment of restrictions related to human exposure to electromagnetic fields (0 Hz to 300 Hz) - Part 3: Resistance welding equipment (IEC 62822-3:2017)

This part of IEC 62822 applies to equipment for resistance welding and allied processes
designed for occupational use by professionals and for use by laymen.
NOTE 1 Typical allied processes are resistance hard and soft soldering or resistance heating achieved by means
comparable to resistance welding equipment.
This document specifies procedures for the assessment of human exposure to magnetic fields
produced by resistance welding equipment. It covers non-thermal biological effects in the
frequency range from 0 Hz to 10 MHz and defines standardized test scenarios.
NOTE 2 The general term "field" is used throughout this document for "magnetic field".
NOTE 3 For the assessment of exposure to electric fields and thermal effects, the methods specified in the
Generic Standard IEC 62311 or relevant basic standards apply.
This document does not define methods for workplace assessment regarding the risks arising
from electromagnetic fields (EMF). However, the EMF data that results from the application of
this Basic Standard can be used to assist in workplace assessment.
Other standards can apply to products covered by this document. In particular this document
cannot be used to demonstrate electromagnetic compatibility with other equipment. It does
not specify any product safety requirements other than those specifically related to human
exposure to electromagnetic fields.
This document focuses on the use of coupling coefficients to assess the exposure to EMF.

Matériels de soudage électrique - Évaluation des restrictions relatives à l'exposition humaine aux champs électromagnétiques (0 Hz à 300 GHz) - Partie 3: Matériels de soudage par résistance (IEC 62822-3:2017)

L’IEC 62822-3:2017 s'applique aux matériels de soudage par résistance et techniques connexes conçus pour un usage professionnel et non professionnel.
Le présent document spécifie les procédures d'évaluation de l'exposition humaine aux champs magnétiques générés par les matériels de soudage par résistance. Il couvre les effets biologiques non thermiques dans la plage de fréquences comprises entre 0 Hz et 10 MHz et définit des scénarios d'essai normalisés.

Električna varilna oprema - Ocenjevanje omejitev z vidika izpostavljenosti človeka elektromagnetnim poljem (od 0 Hz do 300 Hz) - 3. del: Oprema za uporovno varjenje (IEC 62822-3:2017)

Ta del standarda IEC 62822 se uporablja za opremo za uporovno varjenje in sorodne postopke, zasnovano za uporabo pri delu strokovnjakov in laikov.
OPOMBA 1: Običajni povezani procesi so uporovno trdo ali mehko spajkanje ali uporovno gretje, ki se doseže na način, primerljiv z opremo za uporovno varjenje.
Ta dokument določa postopke za oceno izpostavljenosti delavcev magnetnim poljem, ki jih ustvari oprema za uporovno varjenje. Obravnava atermične biološke vplive v frekvenčnem razponu od 0 Hz do 10 MHz in določa standardizirane preskusne scenarije.
OPOMBA 2: Splošni izraz »polje« se v tem dokumentu uporablja za »magnetno polje«.
OPOMBA 3: Za oceno izpostavljenosti električnim poljem in toplotnim vplivom se uporabljajo metode, podane v splošnem standardu IEC 62311 ali zadevnih osnovnih standardih.
Ta dokument ne določa metod za oceno delovnega mesta v povezavi s tveganji zaradi elektromagnetnih polj (EMF). Vendar se podatki o elektromagnetnih poljih, ki se pridobijo na podlagi uporabe tega osnovnega standarda, lahko uporabijo kot pomoč pri ocenjevanju delovnega mesta.
Za proizvode, ki jih obravnava ta dokument, se lahko uporabljajo drugi standardi. Tega dokumenta zlasti ni mogoče uporabljati za dokazovanje elektromagnetne združljivosti z drugo opremo. Ne določa nobenih varnostnih zahtev za proizvode, razen tistih, ki se posebej navezujejo na izpostavljenost delavcev elektromagnetnim poljem.
Ta dokument se osredotoča na uporabo koeficientov spajanja za ocenjevanje izpostavljenosti elektromagnetnim poljem.

ASSESSMENT OF RESTRICTIONS RELATED TO HUMAN
EXPOSURE TO ELECTROMAGNETIC FIELDS (0 Hz TO 300 GHz) –

Part 3: Resistance welding equipment

FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote
international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To
this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications,
Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC
Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested
in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-
governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely
with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by
agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence
between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in
the latter.
5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
services carried out by independent certification bodies.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC
Publications.
8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of
patent rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
International Standard IEC 62822-3 has been prepared by IEC technical committee 26:
Electric welding.
The text of this International Standard is based on the following documents:
FDIS Report on voting
26/626A/FDIS 26/630/RVD

Full information on the voting for the approval of this International Standard can be found in
the report on voting indicated in the above table.
This document has been drafted in accordance with the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.

(0 Hz to 300 GHz), can be found on the IEC website.
The committee has decided that the contents of this document will remain unchanged until the
stability date indicated on the IEC website under "http://webstore.iec.ch" in the data related to
the specific document. At this date, the document will be
• reconfirmed,
• withdrawn,
• replaced by a revised edition, or
