20、4:2010EN 12254:2010 (E) 4 1 Scope 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

21、 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 determine

22、d 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 m) and 106nm (1 000 m). This European Stand

23、ard 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 hous

24、ings 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. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the applicat

29、ce 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

30、 and M.

31、er) 10-9100 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 propert

32、ies 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 trans

33、mittance 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 stre

34、ngth 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 t

35、o the screens or to the machinery when the screens are removed.

Inflexible screens shall

36、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 Ta

37、bles 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, th

38、e 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 wav

39、elength shall be measured during the exposure to laser radiation.
