Live working - Eye, face and head protectors against the effects of electric arc - Performance requirements and test methods (IEC 62819:2022)
This part of IEC 63275-1 gives a test method to evaluate gate threshold voltage shift of silicon carbide (SiC) power metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistors (MOSFETs) using room temperature readout after applying continuous positive gate-source voltage stress at elevated temperature. The proposed method accepts a certain amount of recovery by allowing large delay times between stress and measurement (up to 10h).

L'IEC 62819:2022 s’applique aux protecteurs oculaires, faciaux et crâniens utilisés au travail lorsqu’il existe un risque d’exposition à un risque d’arc électrique. Ces protecteurs se composent d’un ou de plusieurs dispositifs (par exemple, capuche, lunettes, cagoules, écrans faciaux, casques, etc.), qui peuvent devoir être combinés ensemble afin de protéger les yeux, le visage et la tête pour l’utilisation prévue. Le présent document couvre les exigences de performance pour les protecteurs et les dispositifs de protection uniques compte tenu des risques thermiques, optiques et mécaniques d’un arc électrique. Le produit couvert par le présent document peut avoir un impact sur l’environnement pendant certaines ou toutes les étapes de son cycle de vie. Ces impacts peuvent varier de légers à significatifs, être à court ou à long terme, et se produire au niveau mondial, régional ou local. Le présent document ne comprend pas d’exigences et de dispositions d’essai pour les fabricants du produit ni de recommandations aux utilisateurs du produit pour l’amélioration de l’environnement. Toutefois, toutes les parties intervenant dans sa conception, sa fabrication, son emballage, sa distribution, son utilisation, son entretien, sa réparation, sa réutilisation, sa valorisation et son élimination sont invitées à tenir compte des considérations environnementales. Les produits conçus et fabriqués conformément au présent document contribuent à la sécurité des utilisateurs à condition qu’ils soient utilisés par des personnes qualifiées, conformément aux méthodes de travail sûres et aux instructions d’utilisation.

Ta del standarda IEC 63275-1 določa preskusno metodo za ocenjevanje premika mejne vrednosti napetosti na vhodu za silicijev karbid (SiC) na polprevodniškem poljskem tranzistorju s kovinskim oksidom (MOSFET) z odčitavanjem sobne temperature po izvedbi stalne pozitivne napetostne obremenitve na vhodnem viru pri povišani temperaturi. Predlagana metoda dopušča določeno stopnjo obnove zaradi daljših zakasnitev med obremenitvijo in merjenjem (do 10 ur).

LIVE WORKING – EYE, FACE AND HEAD PROTECTORS
AGAINST THE EFFECTS OF ELECTRIC ARC –
PERFORMANCE REQUIREMENTS AND TEST METHODS
FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote international
co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To this end and
in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications, Technical Reports,
Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as "IEC Publication(s)"). Their
preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested in the subject dealt with
may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-governmental organizations liaising
with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely with the International Organization for
Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence between
any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in the latter.
5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
services carried out by independent certification bodies.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC
Publications.
8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of patent
rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
IEC 62819 has been prepared by IEC technical committee 78: Live working. It is an International
Standard.
The text of this International Standard is based on the following documents:

INTRODUCTION
This document has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of IEC 61477 where
applicable.
The product covered by this document can have an impact on the environment during some or
all stages of its life cycle. These impacts can range from slight to significant, be short-term or
long-term, and occur at the global, regional or local level.
This document does not include requirements and test provisions for the manufacturers of the
product or recommendations to the users of the product for environmental improvement.
However, all parties intervening in its design, manufacture, packaging, distribution, use,
maintenance, repair, reuse, recovery and disposal are invited to take account of environmental
considerations.

LIVE WORKING – EYE, FACE AND HEAD PROTECTORS
AGAINST THE EFFECTS OF ELECTRIC ARC –
PERFORMANCE REQUIREMENTS AND TEST METHODS
1 Scope
This document is applicable to eye, face and head protectors used in work where there is a risk
of exposure to an electric arc hazard.
Such protectors consist of one or several devices (e.g. hood, goggles, balaclavas, face shields,
helmets, etc.), which might need to be combined together in order to give protection to eye,
face and head for the intended use.
This document covers the performance requirements for protectors and single protective
devices considering thermal, optical and mechanical hazards of an electric arc.
Because of the limitations of test apparatus at very high energy arcs, no arc rating above
2 2
4 100 kJ/m (100 cal/cm ) can be assigned to protectors.
This document does not cover protection against electric shock, noise, the consequences of
physical and mental shock and the toxic influences caused by an electric arc.
This document does not cover protectors for work intentionally using an electric arc, e.g. arc
welding, plasma torch.
This document does not cover face-screens for the reduction of an electric field inside
conductive clothing in accordance with IEC 60895.
Any other claims of the manufacturer for protection against other hazards to eye or face (e.g.
welding radiation, hazards occurring during fire-fighting) are outside the scope of the document.
Products designed and manufactured in accordance with this document contribute to the safety
of the users provided they are used by skilled persons, in accordance with safe methods of
work and the instructions for use.
