The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO technical committees. E
20、ach member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the Internati
21、onal Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standard
22、s adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
23、 patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.ISO 15012-1 was prepared by the European Committee for Standardization (CEN), in collaboration with ISO Technical Committee TC 44, Welding and allied processes, Subcommittee SC 9, , in accordance with the
24、 Agreement on technical cooperation between ISO and CEN (Vienna Agreement).This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (ISO 15012-1:2004), which has been technically revised.ISO 15012 consists of the following parts, under the general title Health and safety in welding and allied proc

26、All rights reservedBS EN ISO 15012-1:2013ISO 15012-1:2013(E)IntroductionIt is common practice in the fabrication industry to control exposure to welding fume using local exhaust ventilation equipment that, following capture and separation of the fume, returns the extracted air to the workplace or ex
27、hausts it to the atmosphere. It is important that such equipment has high separation efficiency so that as little fume as possible is recirculated or exhausted. This part of ISO 15012 has therefore been promulgated to specify requirements and a test method for determining the efficiency of welding f

37、 value of separation efficiency 99 %.5 PrincipleThe method is based on the methods specified in EN 1093-610and EN 1093-7.11The welding fume separation equipment under test is operated under defined conditions, according to its intended use.The emission rate of a welding fume source is measured and u
38、sed subsequently to calculate the concentration of fume generated during a test period when separation efficiency is measured.Before separation efficiency measurements are made, welding fume is generated using the welding fume source and separated for a period of 30 min.For equipment with filters th
39、at are not intended to be cleaned, the concentration of fume passing through the separation equipment during a 30 min period is measured and used together with the fume concentration calculated from the fume emission rate to determine the separation efficiency.For equipment with cleanable filters, a
40、n additional separation efficiency measurement is performed after a further welding period without measurement and filter cleaning. The average of the two separation efficiencies is calculated.Two tests are performed and the average, the 95 % one-sided confidence interval and the lower confidence li
41、mit value of the separation efficiency are calculated according to ISO 2602. If the resulting lower confidence limit value is less than the required separation efficiency, consideration shall be given to performing further tests.6 Equipment6.1 Welding fume source, capable of maintaining an emission
42、rate of 10 mg/s 2 mg/s throughout the test period. The welding fume source shall be fitted with an extracted fume hood that retains all the fume emitted and shall be designed in such a way that it can be connected to the inlet duct of the test cabin, as described in Figure 1, or directly to welding

It shall be possible to determine the welding fume emission rate in situ without disturbing the welding set-up in any way. An example of a suitable welding
44、 source and parameters required to achieve the required welding fume emission rate are described in Annex B.6.2 Test cabin, consisting of an enclosure for the welding fume separation equipment under test, connected to the welding fume source via an upstream measurement duct. The cabin is connected t
45、o a downstream measurement duct and an air mover (see Figure 1). The air flow rate through the air mover is adjusted to between 95 % and 100 % of the air flow rate in the upstream duct, thus ensuring a small positive air pressure in the cabin.Key1 welding fume source (see Figure B.1)2 welding fume s
