Safety in installations for electroheating and electromagnetic processing - Part 12: Particular requirements for infrared electroheating

IEC 60519 specifies safety requirements for industrial electroheating equipment and installations in which infrared radiation - usually generated by infrared emitters - is significantly dominating over heat convection or heat conduction as means of energy transfer to the workload. A further limitation of the scope is that the infrared emitters have a maximum spectral emission at longer wavelengths than 780 nm in air or vacuum, and are emitting wideband continuous spectra such as by thermal radiation or high pressure arcs. IEC 60519-1:2015 defines infrared as radiation within the frequency range between 400 THz and 300 GHz. This corresponds to a wavelength range between 780 nm and 10 μm in vacuum. Industrial infrared heating commonly uses thermal infrared sources with rated temperatures between 500 °C and 3 000 °C; the emitted radiation from these sources dominates in the wavelength range between 780 nm and 10 μm. Since substantial emission of thermal emitters can extend either to wavelengths below 780 nm or above 3 000 nm, the safety aspects of emitted visible light and emission at wavelengths longer than 3 000 nm are also considered in this document. This standard is not applicable to:  - infrared installations with lasers or light-emitting diodes (LEDs) as main sources - they are covered by IEC 62471:2006 and IEC 60825-1:2014;  - appliances for use by the general public;  - appliances for laboratory use - they are covered by IEC 61010-1:2010;  - electroheating installations where resistance heated bare wires, tubes or bars are used as heating elements, and infrared radiation is not a dominant side effect of the intended use, covered by IEC 60519-2:2006;  - infrared heating equipment with a nominal combined electrical power of the infrared emitters of less than 250 W;  - handheld infrared equipment. Industrial infrared electroheating equipment under the scope of this standard typically uses the Joule effect for the conversion of electric energy into infrared radiation by one or several sources. Radiation is then emitted from one or several elements onto the material to be treated. Such infrared heating elements are in particular:  - thermal infrared emitters in the form of tubular, plate-like or otherwise shaped ceramics with a resistive element inside;  - infrared quartz glass tube or halogen lamp emitters with a hot filament as a source;  - non insulated elements made from molybdenum disilicide, silicon carbide, graphite, ironchromium- aluminium alloys, refractory metals or comparable materials;  - wide-spectrum arc lamps.

Sécurité dans les installations destinées au traitement électrothermique et électromagnétique - Partie 12: Exigences particulières pour chauffage électrique par rayonnement infrarouge

L’IEC 60519-12:2016 spécifie les exigences de sécurité concernant les équipements et installations électrothermiques industriels avec lesquels le rayonnement infrarouge, produit habituellement par des émetteurs de rayonnement infrarouge, prédomine véritablement sur la convection ou la conduction thermique comme moyen de transfert d'énergie à la charge de travail. Une limite supplémentaire du domaine d'application se traduit par le fait que les émetteurs de rayonnement infrarouge ont une émission spectrale maximale à des longueurs d’onde plus grandes que 780 nm dans l'air ou le vide, et émettent des spectres continus à large bande tels que ceux émis par un rayonnement thermique ou des arcs à haute pression. Cette deuxième édition annule et remplace la première édition parue en 2013. Cette édition constitue une révision technique. Cette édition inclut les modifications techniques majeures suivantes par rapport à l'édition précédente:
a. la structure du présent document a été alignée sur celle de l’IEC 60519-1:2015;
b. les termes/définitions, les références normatives ainsi que la bibliographie ont été mis à jour et complétés;
c. toutes les exigences et le contenu de l’IEC 60519-12:2013 repris dans l’IEC 60519-1:2015 ont été supprimés pour éviter les répétitions.

Varnost pri električnih grelnih inštalacijah in elektromagnetni obdelavi - 12. del: Posebne zahteve za inštalacije z infrardečim električnim ogrevanjem

IEC 60519 določa posebne varnostne zahteve za industrijsko električno grelno opremo in inštalacije, v katerih infrardeče sevanje, ki ga ponavadi ustvarijo infrardeča sevala, občutno presega toplotno konvekcijo ali toplotno prevodnost, kar zadeva prenos energije v delovno obremenitev. Dodatna omejitev področja uporabe na infrardeča sevala, ki imajo najvišjo spektralno emisijo pri valovnih dolžinah, daljših od 780 nm, v zraku ali vakuumu in oddajajo neprekinjene širokopasovne spektre, kakor pri lokih toplotnega sevanja ali visokega tlaka. Standard IEC 60519-1:2015 opredeljuje infrardeče sevanje kot sevanje na frekvenčnem območju med 400 THz in 300 GHz. To ustreza razponu valovnih dolžin od 780 nm do 10 μm v vakuumu. Pri industrijskem infrardečem ogrevanju se ponavadi uporabljajo viri infrardečega sevanja z nazivnimi temperaturami med 500 in 3000 °C; sevanje, oddano iz teh virov, je predvsem v razponu valovnih dolžin od 780 nm do 10 μm. Znatni del emisij iz toplotnih seval lahko sega pod 780 nm ali nad 3000 nm, zato so v tem dokumentu upoštevani tudi varnostni vidiki za oddano vidno svetlobo in emisije pri valovnih dolžinah, daljših od 3000 nm. Ta standard se ne uporablja za:  – inštalacije z glavnim virom infrardečega sevanja v obliki laserjev ali svetlečih diod (LED) – zajemata jih standarda IEC 62471:2006 in IEC 60825-1:2014; – aparati za splošno uporabo; – aparati za laboratorijsko uporabo – zajema jih standard IEC 61010-1:2010; – inštalacije za električno ogrevanje, v katerih se kot grelni elementi uporabljajo uporovne žice, cevi ali palice in infrardeče sevanje ni prevladujoč stranski učinek predvidene uporabe, ki jih zajema standard IEC 60519-2:2006; – oprema z infrardečim ogrevanjem z nominalnim združenim električnim tokom infrardečih seval, manjšim od 250 W; – ročna oprema z infrardečim sevanjem. Industrijska oprema z infrardečim električnim ogrevanjem, ki spada na področje uporabe tega standarda, običajno v skladu z Joulovim zakonom pretvarja električno energijo v infrardeče sevanje iz enega ali več virov. Eden ali več elementov nato oddajo sevanje v material, ki bo obdelan. Takšni elementi infrardečega ogrevanja so predvsem:  – toplotna infrardeča sevala iz cevaste, ploščate ali poljubno oblikovane keramike z upornim elementom v notranjosti; – infrardeča sevala z vročo žarilno nitko kot virom sevanja, tj. rešetke iz kvarčnega stekla ali halogenske sijalke; – neizolirani elementi iz molibdenovega disilicida, silicijevega karbida, grafita, železo-kromovo-aluminijeve zlitine, težkotaljivih materialov ali primerljivih materialov; – električne sijalke širokega spektra.

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.
International Standard IEC 60519-12 has been prepared by IEC technical committee 27:
Industrial electroheating and electromagnetic processing.
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition published in 2013. This edition

INTRODUCTION
The scope of this standard covers a broad range of types and designs of infrared equipment
which are used for many different purposes. This standard is intended to cover all industrial
infrared equipment types, with some few exceptions provided in Clause 1.
Many other types of electroheating equipment emit infrared radiation of hazardous levels,
therefore IEC 60519-1:2015 provides all general requirements addressing optical radiation
and this document provides specific considerations for infrared equipment and helpful
methods.
With reference to IEC 60519-2:2006 it has been agreed in TC 27 that this standard covers all
kinds of infrared emission hazards of industrial electroheating installations and provisions not
given in IEC 60519-1:2015.
The discussion of infrared radiation assessment has become quite detailed in this standard,
as for the industry there is not any single useful source available for simple, versatile, easy to
use and cost effective measurement methods.
The other principles for covering the risks caused by infrared radiation were:
• the manufacturer usually does not employ an expert in optical radiation measurement or
has access to an optical laboratory with all the necessary equipment needed for elaborate
measurements;
• operating staff with limited experience in radiation measurement is usually responsible for
the task of performing the necessary measurements and will appreciate a simple and easy
to follow guide;
• the scope of IEC 62471:2006 is limited to lamps but is applicable for other light sources.
Therefore, core aspects were adapted from that standard and if possible simplified for this
document.
• figures illustrating the classes defined in IEC 62471:2006 and listed in IEC 60519-1:2015
are included;
• relevant documents of American National Standard Institute/Illuminating Engineering
Society of North America, the ANSI/IESNA RP 27 series, are based on the ICNIRP
recommendations as well. They provide no extra or contradictory material with regard to
this standard and its references.

SAFETY IN INSTALLATIONS FOR ELECTROHEATING
AND ELECTROMAGNETIC PROCESSING –

Part 12: Particular requirements for infrared electroheating



1 Scope and object
1.1 Scope
This clause of Part 1 is replaced by the following.
Replacement:
This part of IEC 60519 specifies safety requirements for industrial electroheating equipment
and installations in which infrared radiation – usually generated by infrared emitters – is
significantly dominating over heat convection or heat conduction as means of energy transfer
to the workload. A further limitation of the scope is that the infrared emitters have a maximum
spectral emission at longer wavelengths than 780 nm in air or vacuum, and are emitting
wideband continuous spectra such as by thermal radiation or high pressure arcs.
IEC 60519-1:2015 defines infrared as radiation within the frequency range between 400 THz
and 300 GHz. This corresponds to a wavelength range between 780 nm and 10 µm in
vacuum. Industrial infrared heating commonly uses thermal infrared sources with rated
temperatures between 500 °C and 3 000 °C; the emitted radiation from these sources
dominates in the wavelength range between 780 nm and 10 µm.
Since substantial emission of thermal emitters can extend either to wavelengths below
780 nm or above 3 000 nm, the safety aspects of emitted visible light and emission at
wavelengths longer than 3 000 nm are also considered in this document.
This standard is not applicable to:
• infrared installations with lasers or light-emitting diodes (LEDs) as main sources – they are
covered by IEC 62471:2006 and IEC 60825-1:2014;
• appliances for use by the general public;
• appliances for laboratory use – they are covered by IEC 61010-1:2010;
• electroheating installations where resistance heated bare wires, tubes or bars are used as
heating elements, and infrared radiation is not a dominant side effect of the intended use,
covered by IEC 60519-2:2006;
• infrared heating equipment with a nominal combined electrical power of the infrared
emitters of less than 250 W;
• handheld infrared equipment.
Industrial infrared electroheating equipment under the scope of this standard typically uses
the Joule effect for the conversion of electric energy into infrared radiation by one or several
sources. Radiation is then emitted from one or several elements onto the material to be
treated. Such infrared heating elements are in particular:
• thermal infrared emitters in the form of tubular, plate-like or otherwise shaped ceramics
with a resistive element inside;
• infrared quartz glass tube or halogen lamp emitters with a hot filament as a source;

---------------------- Page: 13 ----------------------

• non insulated elements made from molybdenum disilicide, silicon carbide, graphite, iron-
chromium-aluminium alloys, refractory metals or comparable materials;
• wide-spectrum arc lamps.

SAFETY IN INSTALLATIONS FOR ELECTROHEATING
AND ELECTROMAGNETIC PROCESSING –

Part 12: Particular requirements for infrared electroheating

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.
International Standard IEC 60519-12 has been prepared by IEC technical committee 27:
Industrial electroheating and electromagnetic processing.
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition published in 2013. This edition
constitutes a technical revision.
This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous
edition:
a) the structure has been redrafted according to IEC 60519-1:2015;
b) terms/definitions, normative references and bibliography have been updated and
completed;

INTRODUCTION
The scope of this standard covers a broad range of types and designs of infrared equipment
which are used for many different purposes. This standard is intended to cover all industrial
infrared equipment types, with some few exceptions provided in Clause 1.
Many other types of electroheating equipment emit infrared radiation of hazardous levels,
therefore IEC 60519-1:2015 provides all general requirements addressing optical radiation
and this document provides specific considerations for infrared equipment and helpful
methods.
With reference to IEC 60519-2:2006 it has been agreed in TC 27 that this standard covers all
kinds of infrared emission hazards of industrial electroheating installations and provisions not
given in IEC 60519-1:2015.
The discussion of infrared radiation assessment has become quite detailed in this standard,
as for the industry there is not any single useful source available for simple, versatile, easy to
use and cost effective measurement methods.
The other principles for covering the risks caused by infrared radiation were:
• the manufacturer usually does not employ an expert in optical radiation measurement or
has access to an optical laboratory with all the necessary equipment needed for elaborate
measurements;
• operating staff with limited experience in radiation measurement is usually responsible for
the task of performing the necessary measurements and will appreciate a simple and easy
to follow guide;
• the scope of IEC 62471:2006 is limited to lamps but is applicable for other light sources.
Therefore, core aspects were adapted from that standard and if possible simplified for this
document.
• figures illustrating the classes defined in IEC 62471:2006 and listed in IEC 60519-1:2015
are included;
• relevant documents of American National Standard Institute/Illuminating Engineering
Society of North America, the ANSI/IESNA RP 27 series, are based on the ICNIRP
recommendations as well. They provide no extra or contradictory material with regard to
this standard and its references.

SAFETY IN INSTALLATIONS FOR ELECTROHEATING
AND ELECTROMAGNETIC PROCESSING –

Part 12: Particular requirements for infrared electroheating



1 Scope and object
1.1 Scope
This clause of Part 1 is replaced by the following.
Replacement:
This part of IEC 60519 specifies safety requirements for industrial electroheating equipment
and installations in which infrared radiation – usually generated by infrared emitters – is
significantly dominating over heat convection or heat conduction as means of energy transfer
to the workload. A further limitation of the scope is that the infrared emitters have a maximum
spectral emission at longer wavelengths than 780 nm in air or vacuum, and are emitting
wideband continuous spectra such as by thermal radiation or high pressure arcs.
IEC 60519-1:2015 defines infrared as radiation within the frequency range between 400 THz
and 300 GHz. This corresponds to a wavelength range between 780 nm and 10 µm in
vacuum. Industrial infrared heating commonly uses thermal infrared sources with rated
temperatures between 500 °C and 3 000 °C; the emitted radiation from these sources
dominates in the wavelength range between 780 nm and 10 µm.
Since substantial emission of thermal emitters can extend either to wavelengths below
780 nm or above 3 000 nm, the safety aspects of emitted visible light and emission at
wavelengths longer than 3 000 nm are also considered in this document.
This standard is not applicable to:
• infrared installations with lasers or light-emitting diodes (LEDs) as main sources – they are
covered by IEC 62471:2006 and IEC 60825-1:2014;
• appliances for use by the general public;
• appliances for laboratory use – they are covered by IEC 61010-1:2010;
• electroheating installations where resistance heated bare wires, tubes or bars are used as
heating elements, and infrared radiation is not a dominant side effect of the intended use,
covered by IEC 60519-2:2006;
• infrared heating equipment with a nominal combined electrical power of the infrared
emitters of less than 250 W;
• handheld infrared equipment.
Industrial infrared electroheating equipment under the scope of this standard typically uses
the Joule effect for the conversion of electric energy into infrared radiation by one or several
sources. Radiation is then emitted from one or several elements onto the material to be
treated. Such infrared heating elements are in particular:
• thermal infrared emitters in the form of tubular, plate-like or otherwise shaped ceramics
with a resistive element inside;
• infrared quartz glass tube or halogen lamp emitters with a hot filament as a source;

---------------------- Page: 13 ----------------------

– 8 – IEC 60519-12:2016 © IEC 2016
• non insulated elements made from molybdenum disilicide, silicon carbide, graphite, iron-
chromium-aluminium alloys, refractory metals or comparable materials;
• wide-spectrum arc lamps.

3.2.109
infrared reflector
passive, non transmitting component which reflects and directs infrared radiation
Note 1 to entry: The reflector can be part of an infrared emitter and can cause specular or diffuse reflection or a
combination of both.
3.2.110
infrared refractor
passive, transmitting component that focuses and directs infrared radiation
Note 1 to entry: The refractor can be part of an infrared emitter.
3.2.111
wavelength converter
element inside the infrared installation that is heated up by infrared radiation during normal
operation to a temperature, where its own emitted radiation participates in heating up the
workload
Note 1 to entry: The spectrum of a wavelength converter has a substantially longer wavelength than the
wavelength of major emission of the infrared emitters.
3.2.112
infrared module
component housing one or more infrared emitters
Note 1 to entry: The module can include reflectors, refractors, filters, or other means for protecting the emitter as
well as cooling devices.
