What is BS EN IEC 62822-1- Electric welding equipment - Product family standard about?
BS EN IEC 62822-1 is a product family standard, that applies to equipment for resistance welding, arc welding and allied processes designed for occupational use by professionals and for use by laypeople. The frequency range covered is 0 Hz to 300 GHz.
Product family standard specifies assessment methods and criteria to evaluate electromagnetic field (EMF) emissions of electric welding equipment about national and international requirements for human exposure to EMF.
The EMF exposure data that results from the application of this product family standard can be used to assist in workplace assessment.
NOTE 1 Typical allied process are resistance hard and soft soldering, resistance heating by means comparable to resistance welding equipment, electric arc cutting and arc spraying.
NOTE 2 Magnetic fields generated by the operation of welding equipment and the resulting non-thermal effects are the main assessment concern.
NOTE 3 The equipment manufacturer is unaware of the overall exposure environment in which the equipment will be used (e.g., multiple sources) and is not responsible for all requirements for workplace assessment (e.g., information and training of workers, design, and layout of the workplace).
