Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies
(ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO
technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been
established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and
non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the
International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards
adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an
International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
ISO 15011-1 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 44, Welding and allied processes, Subcommittee
SC 9, Health and safety.
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (ISO 15011-1:2002), which has been technically
revised.
ISO 15011 consists of the following parts, under the general title Health and safety in welding and allied
processes — Laboratory method for sampling fume and gases:
⎯ Part 1: Determination of fume emission rate during arc welding and collection of fume for analysis
⎯ Part 2: Determination of the emission rates of carbon monoxide (CO), carbon dioxide (CO ), nitrogen
monoxide (NO) and nitrogen dioxide (NO ) during arc welding, cutting and gouging
⎯ Part 3: Determination of ozone emission rate during arc welding
⎯ Part 4: Fume data sheets
⎯ Part 5: Identification of thermal-degradation products generated when welding or cutting through products
composed wholly or partly of organic materials
The following part is under preparation:
⎯ Part 6: Procedure for quantitative determination of fume and gases from resistance spot welding
[Technical Specification]
Request for an official interpretation of technical aspects of this part of ISO 15011 should be directed to the
secretariat of ISO/TC 44/SC 9 via the user’s national standardization body; a listing of these bodies can be

ISO 15011-1:2009(E)
Introduction
Welding and allied processes generate fume and gases, which, if inhaled, can be harmful to human health.
Knowledge of the composition and the emission rate of the fume and gases can be useful to occupational
health professionals in assessing worker exposure and in determining appropriate control measures.
Absolute exposure is dependent upon factors such as welder position with respect to the plume and draughts
and cannot be predicted from emission rate data. However, in the same work situation, a higher emission rate
is expected to correlate with a higher exposure and a lower emission rate with a lower exposure. Hence,
emission rate data can be used to predict relative changes in exposure that might occur in the workplace
under different welding conditions and to identify measures for reducing such exposure, but they cannot be
used to calculate ventilation requirements.
This part of ISO 15011 specifies a method for measuring fume emission rate and for collecting fume for
subsequent analysis. The procedure simply prescribes a methodology, leaving selection of the test
parameters to the user, so that the effects of different var
