(Main)Protective clothing against chemicals - Test methods and performance classification of chemical protective clothing materials, seams, joins and assemblages
General Information
- Abstract
This European Standard specifies the performance classification and test methods for chemical protective clothing material and seams, joins and assemblages. This is a reference standard to which other chemical protective clothing performance standards may refer in whole or in part.
NOTE Whilst these performance levels are intended to relate to the usage to which the chemical protective clothing is to be put, it is essential that the user (specifier) and the chemical protective clothing manufacturer or supplier liase to establish the correct performance level for the intended task. For this purpose a risk analysis could be useful.
