PPE designed to protect the welder’s eyes, face and neck from intense visible light, ultraviolet (UV) and infrared (IR) radiation, sparks and spatter produced during welding.
For industrial use, look for an auto-darkening filter (ADF) with adjustable shade—commonly DIN 9–13—and compliance with applicable standards such as EN 175 for welding face/eye protection and EN 379 for automatic welding filters. Depending on the market/model, ANSI/ISEA Z87.1 may also apply.
