EN 943-1: Protective clothing against dangerous solid, liquid, and gaseous chemicals, including liquid and solid aerosols - Part 1: Performance requirements for Type 1 (gas-tight) chemical protective suits

Part 1 specifies the minimum requirements, test methods, marking and information supplied by the manufacturer for ventilated and non-ventilated gas-tight chemical protective suits. It specifies full-body personal protective ensembles to be worn for protection against solid, liquid and gaseous chemicals, including liquid and solid aerosols.


EN 14605 - Protective clothing against liquid chemicals - performance requirements for clothing with liquid-tight (Type 3) or spray-tight (Type 4) connections, including items providing protection to parts of the body only (Types PB [3] and PB [4])

This document specifies the minimum requirements for the following types of limited use and reusable chemical protective clothing: Full-body protective clothing with liquid-tight connections between different parts of the clothing (Type 3: liquid-tight clothing) and, if applicable, with liquid-tight connections to component parts, such as hoods, gloves, boots, visors or respiratory protective equipment, which may be specified in other European Standards. Partial body protection garments offering protection to specific parts of the body against permeation of chemical liquids.

EN14605 3 & 4

EN ISO 13982-1 - Protective clothing for use against solid particulates

Performance requirements for chemical protective clothing providing protection to the full body against airborne solid particulates (type 5 clothing).

EN13982

EN 13034 - Protective clothing against liquid chemicals - Performance requirements for chemical protective clothing offering limited protective performance against liquid chemicals (Type 6 and Type PB [6] equipment)

This document specifies the minimum requirements for limited use and re-useable limited performance chemical protective clothing. Limited-performance chemical protective clothing is intended for use in cases of potential exposure to a light spray, liquid aerosols, or low-pressure, low-volume splashes against which a complete liquid permeation barrier (at the molecular level) is not required.

EN13034

EN 14126 - Protective clothing - Performance requirements and test methods for protective clothing against infective agents

This standard specifies requirements and test methods for reusable and limited-use protective clothing, providing protection against infectious agents. Clothing worn by surgical teams or drapes laid on patients to prevent cross-contamination during surgical interventions is not covered by the scope of this standard.

EN-14126

EN 1073-2 - Protective clothing against radioactive contamination - Part 2: Requirements and test methods for non-ventilated protective clothing against particulate radioactive contamination

This European Standard specifies the requirements and test methods for nonventilated protective clothing protecting the wearer against particulate radioactive contamination. Such clothing is intended to protect only the body, arms, and legs
of the wearer, but it may be used with accessories which provide protection to additional areas of the wearer (e.g. boots, gloves, RPE). Protection to these other areas is specified in other European Standards.

EN-1073-2

EN 1149-5 - Protective clothing - Electrostatic properties - Part 5: Material performance and design requirements

This European Standard specifies material and design requirements for electrostatic dissipative protective clothing, including hoods and caps, used as part of a total earthed system to avoid incendiary discharges, where the minimum ignition energy of an explosive atmosphere is not less than 0.016 MJ.

EN-1149-5

Non-woven Polypropylene

Offers comfortable light-duty protection against non-hazardous liquids and dust.

Non-woven polyprolyene

 

Microporous laminates

A higher level of liquid splash protection, while the micropores allow for some breathability.

Spunbound-meltdown polypropylene

‘SMS’ can be layered differently to adjust the protective and physical properties of the material. Standard SMS-material is very breathable and offers a good barrier against dusts and limited liquid splashes.

Stiching method

Serge seams - Intensive thread overlocked stitching.

Serge seams

Serge and tape seams bring superior strength with particle and liquid barrier.
