BS EN 62822-2 applies to equipment for arc welding and allied processes designed for occupational use by professionals and for use by laymen. It provides the best industrial guidance for arc welding equipment for professionals.
BS EN 62822-2 procedures for the assessment of human exposure to magnetic fields produced by arc welding.
BS EN 62822-2 covers non-thermal biological effects in the frequency range from 0 Hz to 10 MHz and defines standardized test scenarios.
Note 1: BS EN 62822-2 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 BS EN 62822-2 can be used to assist in workplace assessment.
Note 2: BS EN 62822-2 does not specify any product safety requirements other than those specifically related to human exposure to electromagnetic fields.
BS EN 62822-2 on Arc welding equipment is useful for:
EMF (electromagnetic fields) with their widespread applications and the potential to cause harm to human health, thus analyzing health risks are essential. As a result, the purpose of BS EN 62822-2 is to weigh the bioeffects and no-thermal biological effects that require immediate attention.
BS EN 62822-2 helps you with the procedures for the assessment of human exposure to magnetic fields produced by arc welding, to analyze the effects on both professionals and laymen, who are exposed to such EMF fields
