29、is European Standard applies to eye-protectors used for protection against accidental exposure to laser radiation as defined in EN 60825-1:2007 in the spectral range 180 nm (0,18 m) to 1 000 m. It defines the requirements, test methods and marking. A guide is given in the informative Annex B for the
30、 selection and use of laser eye-protectors and filters in appliances. This European Standard does not apply to protectors for intentional exposure to laser radiation. EN 208 applies for laser adjustment eye-protectors. Before selecting eye protection according to this European Standard, a risk asses
31、sment should first be undertaken (see Annex B). 2 Normative references The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and are indispensable for its application. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition

34、m spectral transmittance at the wavelength(s) or in the wavelength range(s) of protection shall not exceed the values specified in Table 1 for the applicable scale number. 3.2 Luminous transmittance of filters When assessed in accordance with 4.3, the luminous transmittance of the filter relative to
35、 the D65 standard illuminant (see ISO 11664-2:2007) shall be at least 20 %. However, luminous transmittance lower than 20 % may be accepted provided that the manufacturer supplies information related to the increase of the intensity of illumination at the relevant workplace in accordance with Clause
36、 5. BS EN 207:2017EN 207:2017 (E) 7 3.3 Resistance of filters and frames to laser radiation When tested according to 4.4, the filters and frames shall meet the requirements of 3.1 and shall not lose their protective effect under the influence of laser radiation of the power (E)/ energy density (H) a
37、s specified in Table 1 and shall not show any induced transmission (reversible bleaching). No splinters shall come away from the side of the filter facing the eye under the influence of the laser radiation. Any melting or other damage of the surface during the course of irradiation is not considered
38、 negative if the protective effect is still maintained.

41、 in EN 168:2001 with the eye-protector without filters shall be mounted as shown in the example of set up illustrated in Figure 1 so that the two axes of rotation A and B and the optical axis C intersect in the middle of the front surface of one eye. Irradiation is provided by a laser beam of diamet
42、er (1 0,5) mm along axis C. When rotated around axis A, the BS EN 207:2017EN 207:2017 (E) 13 difference in the angular positions at which the light beam no longer hits the eye gives the vertical field of vision. By rotating around axis B, the difference between the angular position at which the ligh
43、t beam no longer hits the eye and the line of vision of the test head parallel to the optical axis C gives half the horizontal field of vision. Other methods are permissible if they give identical results. Key 1 Laser A, B, C Axis (see text) Figure 1 Example of test set-up for the measurement of fie

48、tectors are only intended to give protection against accidental radiation and that both the limit values and the resistance tests are based on a maximum period of 5 s; e) a warning that eye-protectors and filters against laser radiation which have been damaged, have scratched oculars or which have u
49、ndergone a colour change shall not be used anymore; f) an explanation of the symbols used in the marking; g) details regarding an appropriate cleaning method; h) in case of filters with angle dependent transmittance an information shall be given that the protection is only provided for angles of incidence up to 30.
