Scope
This part of IEC 62822 applies to equipment for arc welding and allied processes designed for occupational use by professionals.
NOTE 1 Typical allied processes are electric arc cutting and arc spraying.
This document specifies methods for the assessment of human exposure to magnetic fields produced by arc welding. This document covers non-thermal biological effects in the frequency range from 0 Hz to 10 MHz and defines standardized test scenarios.
NOTE 2 The general term “field” is used throughout this document for “magnetic field”.
NOTE 3 For the assessment of exposure to electric fields and thermal effects, the methods specified in IEC 62822–1 apply.
This document does not define methods for workplace assessment regarding the risks arising from electromagnetic fields (EMF). However, the EMF data that results from the application of this document can be used to assist in workplace assessment.
It does not specify any product safety requirements other than those specifically related to human exposure to electromagnetic fields.
