High / radiant heat environments:
Protection against InfraRed radiation. Shade 5 昀椀lter. Typical application in terms of mean temperature sources up to 1390ºC
Chemical and splash environments
Protection against liquid droplets and splashes
Filters for personal eye protection used in welding and similar operations. Scale number 3.
Welding and braze welding of heavy metals
EN 175:1997
For use with sources which emit predominantly Ultra Violet Radiation at wave lengths shorter than 313nm and when glare is not an
important factor. This covers the UVC and UVB bands. With enhanced colour recognition.

As 2C-1,2 above - however colour recognition may be impaired.
Forestry
Mesh type eye and face protectors for industrial and non industrial use against mechanical hazards. S marking for Robustness.
Protection against Short Circuit Electric Arc. No test is required; screen needs to meet minimal requirements of material type - (best is
Polycarbonate), thickness - 1.4mm minimum, scale number - 2-1,2 or 2C-1,2, height - 150mm minimum and visibility.
Arc 昀氀ash risks
ANTI-STATIC RISKS
Speci昀椀c Centurion Accessories with the Nexus helmet are
certi昀椀ed by our Noti昀椀ed Body, BSI, to the electrostatic test, which
assesses and con昀椀rms the electrostatic chargeability, according
to IEC 60079-32-2:2015. This provides the con昀椀dence that these
products can not cause an electrostatic charge and thereby not
be the cause of an explosive spark or ignition.

Requirements for the testing and certi昀椀cation of face shields for electrical works - 'Arc-in-a-box' test.
Arc Protection Classes: Class 1 - 135kJ/m2 incident energy, 3.2 cal/cm2 (4kA) , Class 2 - 423kJ/m2 incident energy, 10.1 cal/cm2 (7kA)
Visible Light Transmittance (VLT) Classes: Class 0 - ≥ 75%, Class 1 - 50% ≤ VLT ≥ 75%, Class 2 - VLT < 50%
ASTM F2178 is the Standard Test Method for Determining the Arc Rating and Standard Speci昀椀cation for Eye or Face Protective Products.
This standard test method was introduced by the American Society for Testing and Material (ASTM) and is dedicated to test face
protection PPE according to NFPA 70E classi昀椀cations.
