BS EN 170:2002 pdf download – Personal eye-protection — Ultraviolet filters — Transmittance requirements and recommended use 1 Scope This European Standard specifies the scale numbers and transmittance requirements for filters for protection against ultraviolet radiation. The other applicable requirements for these types of filters and the frames/mountings to which they are intended to be fitted are given in EN 1 66. Guidance on the selection and use of these filters are given in annex B. NOTE The protective filters specified in this standard are not suitable for the direct viewing of bright light sources like Xenon high-pressure arc lamps or for the direct or indirect observation of an electric welding arc. For this purpose a welding filter as specified in EN 1 69 and with a scale number appropriate to the source being observed should by used. 2 Normative references This European Standard incorporates by dated or undated reference, provisions from other publications. These normative references are cited at the appropriate places in the text and the publications are listed hereafter. For dated references, subsequent amendments to or revisions of any of these publications apply to this European Standard only when incorporated in it by amendment or revision. For undated references the latest edition of the publication referred to applies (including amendments). EN 1 65:1 995, Personal eye-protection – Vocabulary .

The marking of oculars and frame is described in EN 1 66. The scale number of ultraviolet filters comprises the code number 2 and the shade number corresponding to the filter, from 1 ,2 to 5 (see Table 1 ). 5 Requirements 5.1 General The requirements of EN 1 66 apply to ultraviolet filters. Only those requirements that are different from or supplement the EN 1 66 pecifications are given in this European standard. 5.2 Transmittance requirements The definitions of transmittances are given in EN 1 65. Minimum and maximum values of luminous transmittance may be exceeded by taking into account...
