EN 14605:2005+A1:2009: Protective clothing against liquid chemicals
EN 14605:2005+A1:2002 is a 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]).
• Type 3 – Protection against pressurised liquid chemicals
Liquid tight suits. Suits which can protect against strong and
directional jets of a liquid chemical such as spray from a burst pipe EN 14605
under pressure. Requires a barrier fabric and sealed seams.
• Type 4 – Protection against liquid aerosols
Spray tight suits. Suits which can protect against saturation of
liquid chemical, where volume of the liquid builds up on the suit EN 14605
forming pools, resulting in rivulets. Requires a barrier fabric and
CHEMICAL PROTECTION EN ISO 13982-1:2004 specifies the minimum requirements for chemical EN ISO 13982-1:2004
sealed seams.
EN ISO 13982-1:2004 +A1:2010: Protective clothing for use against solid particulates
protective clothing resistant to penetration by airborne solid particles (Type 5).
These garments are full-body protective clothing, i.e. covering trunk, arms
and legs, such as one-piece coveralls or two piece suits, with or without
hood or visors, with or without foot protection.
EN 13034:2005 +A1:2009: Protective clothing against liquid chemicals +A1:2010
This standard makes it possible to assess the minimum level of performance
of protective clothing designed for protection against a possible explosion of
small quantities of spray or a limited volume (sprayed by accident) of less
dangerous chemical products, for which a total permeability barrier is not EN 13034:2005
required. +A1:2009
EN 1149-5:2008: Protection against electrostatic charges
EN 1149-5: 2008 specifies material and design requirements for electrostatic
dissipative clothing, used as part of a total earthed system, to avoid incendiary
discharges. This assess if the protective clothing concerned are certified as
anti-static so as to prevent sparks arising, if electrostatic charges are present, EN 1149-5: 2008
which may cause explosions and fires.
