Bibliography

Defines requirements for automatic welding filters, which switch their luminous transmittance to a lower predetermined value when a welding arc is ignited. It also specifies requirements for automatic welding filters, which switch their luminous transmittance to a lower value, where the lower value of luminous transmittance is set automatically in dependence on the illuminance generated by the welding arc.
