Introduction
Welding and allied processes generate fumes and gases which, if inhaled, can be harmful to human
health. Therefore, control of the fumes and gases generated is to be exercised to minimize worker
exposure.
The most effective method of control is to capture the fumes and gases close to their source before they
enter a worker’s breathing zone or the general workplace environment.
Ventilation equipment used to capture the fumes and gases is to be fit for purpose because inefficient
capture can result in high exposure and can be detrimental to workers’ health. Therefore, it is important
that it adheres to defined manufacturing, materials and design requirements and gives warning of
malfunction.
This document is a type-C standard as stated in ISO 12100.
This document is of relevance, in particular, for the following stakeholder groups representing the
market players with regard to machinery safety:
— machine manufacturers (small, medium and large enterprises);
— health and safety bodies (regulators, accident prevention organisations, market surveillance etc.);
Others can be affected by the level of machinery safety achieved with the means of the document by the
above-mentioned stakeholder groups:
— machine users/employers (small, medium and large enterprises);
— machine users/employees (e.g. trade unions, organizations for people with special needs);
— service providers, e. g. for maintenance (small, medium and large enterprises);
— consumers (in case of machinery intended for use by consumers).
The above-mentioned stakeholder groups have been given the possibility to participate at the drafting
process of this document.
In addition, this document is intended for standardization bodies elaborating type-C standards.
The requirements of this document can be supplemented or modified by a type-C standard.
For machines which are covered by the scope of a type-C standard and which have been designed and
built according to the requirements of that standard, the requirements of that type-C standard take
precedence.

exceeded
4 Significant hazards
Exposure to welding fumes and gases generated by welding and allied processes can be detrimental to
health. Control of exposure can usually be achieved using ventilation equipment but any failure of this
equipment, such as poor design and the use of parts made of unsuitable materials, can result in reduced
extraction efficiency and hence over exposure and ill health.
Common health effects include respiratory disease, but exposure to carcinogenic substances during the
welding can occur and shall be considered.
The requirements of the ventilation equipment are dependent on the level of control necessary.

Introduction
Welding and allied processes generate fumes and gases which, if inhaled, can be harmful to human
health. Therefore, control of the fumes and gases generated is to be exercised to minimize worker
exposure.
The most effective method of control is to capture the fumes and gases close to their source before they
enter a worker’s breathing zone or the general workplace environment.
Ventilation equipment used to capture the fumes and gases is to be fit for purpose because inefficient
capture could result in high exposure and can be detrimental to workers’ health. It is important
therefore that it adheres to defined manufacturing, materials and design requirements and gives
warning of malfunction.
This part of ISO 21904 defines the general requirements that are necessary for ventilation equipment
to maintain exposure to fumes at acceptable levels.
This part of ISO 21904 is a type-B standard as stated in ISO 12100.
This part of ISO 21904 is of relevance, in particular, for the following stakeholder groups representing
the market players with regard to machinery safety:
— machine manufacturers (small, medium and large enterprises);
— health and safety bodies (regulators, accident prevention organizations, market surveillance, etc.).
Others can be affected by the level of machinery safety achieved with the means of this part of ISO 21904
by the above-mentioned stakeholder groups:
— machine users/employers (small, medium and large enterprises);
— machine users/employees (e.g. trade unions, organizations for people with special needs);
— service providers, e.g. for maintenance (small, medium and large enterprises);
— consumers (in case of machinery intended for use by consumers).
The above-mentioned stakeholder groups have been given the possibility to participate at the drafting
process of this part of ISO 21904.
In addition, this part of ISO 21904 is intended for standardization bodies elaborating type-C standards.
The requirements of this part of ISO 21904 can be supplemented or modified by a type-C standard.
For machines which are covered by the scope of a type-C standard and which have been designed and
built according to the requirements of that standard, the requirements of that type-C standard take
precedence.

4 Significant hazards
Exposure to fumes and gases generated by welding and allied processes can be detrimental to health.
Control of exposure can usually be achieved using ventilation equipment but any failure of this
equipment, such as poor design and the use of parts made of unsuitable materials, can result in reduced
extraction efficiency and hence over exposure and ill health.
Common health effects include respiratory disease, but exposure to carcinogenic substances during the
welding of alloyed materials can occur and shall be considered.
The requirements of the ventilation equipment are dependent on the level of control necessary.
