Description / Abstract:
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 feet, hand, face, and/or eye protectors.
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 an electric arc used for
welding and allied processes, 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.
For adequate overall protection against the risks to which
welders are likely to be exposed, personal protective equipment
(PPE) covered by other International Standards should additionally
be worn to protect the head, face, hands, and feet.
Guidance for the selection of the type of welders clothing for
different welding activities is detailed in Annex A.
