Health and safety in welding and allied processes - Laboratory method for sampling fume and gases generated by arc welding - Part 1: Determination of emission rate and sampling for analysis of particulate fume

This European standard describes a method for the determination of the particulate fume emission rate from arc welding processes using a fume box technique. It defines a method of sampling particulate fume for chemical analysis and suggests possible analytical techniques in order to characterize fumes emitted by consumable during welding.
