NF EN ISO 10882-1, A88-202-1 (05/2024)

ISO 10882-1:2011 specifies a procedure for sampling airborne particles in the respiratory zone of the person carrying out welding and related techniques (the operator). It also provides details of relevant standards which specify the required characteristics, performance requirements and test methods for the measurement of air in the workplace, and it provides additional clarification to EN 689 on the evaluation strategy and measurement strategy. ISO 10882-1:2011 further specifies the procedure for carrying out gravimetric measurements of personal exposure to airborne particles during welding and related techniques (welding fumes) and to other suspended particles in the air emitted during operations related to welding. Finally, it provides references to appropriate methods of chemical analysis, specified in other standards, for determining personal exposure to specific chemical agents present in welding fumes and other airborne particles. air emitted during operations related to welding. General ambient concentrations of suspended particles in the workplace atmosphere influence personal exposure and, therefore, the role of fixed-point sampling is also considered.
