A future part of EN 16523 will explain the use of the series of standards EN 16523. This standard includes only th
24、e specific aspects linked with the testing with gaseous challenge chemicals. DIN EN 16523-2:2015-04 EN 16523-2:2015 (E) 5 1 Scope This European Standard specifies a test method for the determination of the resistance of protective clothing, gloves and footwear materials to permeation by potentially
25、hazardous gaseous chemicals under the condition of continuous contact. This test method is applicable to the assessment of protection against gazeous chemicals that can be collected only by liquid or gaseous collecting media. This test method is not adapted for the assessment of gaseous chemical mix
26、tures. This test method describes the modifications to EN 16523-1 necessary to test against gaseous chemicals that can be collected by liquid or gaseous collecting media. 2 Normative references The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and are indispen
27、sable for its application. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies. EN 16523-1:2015, Determination of material resistance to permeation by chemicals Part 1: Permeation by liquid che
28、mical under conditions of continuous contact 3 Terms and definitions For the purposes of this document, the terms and definitions in EN 16523-1:2015 together with the following apply. 3.1 gaseous challenge chemical chemical that is gaseous at the test conditions (atmospheric pressure and 23 C) and t
29、hat is used to challenge the PPE (protective clothing, gloves and footwear) material specimen Note 1 to entry: Annex A lists the most common gaseous challenge chemicals. Other gases may be tested. Note 2 to entry: The gas may be either pure or diluted in air or in nitrogen. 4 Test principle The resi
30、stance of a PPE (protective clothing, gloves and footwear) material to permeation by a gaseous chemical is determined by measuring the normalized breakthrough time (NBT). In the permeation test apparatus, the PPE (protective clothing, gloves and footwear) material separates the challenge chemical fr
31、om the collecting medium. The collecting medium, which can be a gas or, a liquid, is analysed quantitatively for its concentration of the chemical and thereby the amount of that chemical that has permeated the barrier as a function of time after its initial contact with the PPE (protective clothing,
32、 gloves and footwear) material. 5 Collecting media See EN 16523-1:2015, Clause 5. When selecting the collecting media, the following points should be taken in consideration: a) oxidation; DIN EN 16523-2:2015-04 EN 16523-2:2015 (E) 6 b) solubility; c) hydrolysis; d) other items as appropriate. 6 Appa
33、ratus 6.1 General See EN 16523-1:2015, Clause 6, except for the sampling compartment of the challenge chemical. 6.2 Sampling compartment of the challenge chemical The sampling compartment for the challenge chemical is described in Figure 1. Key 1 sampling compartment for challenge chemical 2 pipe (i
34、n and out) for the gas setting, whose diameter shall be sufficiently large to avoid any deformation of the sample by the pressure of the incoming gas Figure 1 Important dimensions for the sampling compartment for challenge chemical 6.3 Challenge gas introduction system The challenge gas shall be reg
35、ulated to a pressure just above ambient. This pressure shall be sufficient to allow a flow of (5 0,5) volumes of cell per minute without any significant deformation of the test piece. 7 Test specimens See EN 16523-1:2015, Clause 7. 8 Procedure 8.1 Calibration See EN 16523-1:2015, 8.1. 8.2 Preparatio
36、n of test specimens and apparatus See EN 16523-1:2015, 8.2. DIN EN 16523-2:2015-04 EN 16523-2:2015 (E) 7 8.3 Test procedure The test temperature shall be (23 1) C. The challenge gaseous chemical entering in the permeation cell and the collecting medium shall be at (23 1) C. Permeation is affected by
37、 temperature and so additional tests may be run at other temperatures if they are relevant to the use of the PPE (protective clothing, gloves and footwear). The collecting medium is connected to the cell and the flow adjusted to the required rate (see EN 16523-1:2015, 6.3). Then the detection equipm
38、ent (see EN 16523-1:2015, 6.5) is connected. The signal of the detector is observed to verify the blank steady-state. After a few minutes (between 1 min and 5 min) of blank steady-state, the following procedure shall be followed. a) The flow of the test gas into the challenge chamber of the permeati
39、on test cell (the chamber to which the normal outside surface of the material specimen is facing) shall be commenced. Timing of the test begin once the equivalent of 5 chamber volumes of gas have passed through the chamber as determined by the mean of a rotameter or other monitoring device placed in
40、 the inlet stream of the chamber. The volumes of gas shall be passed through the chamber within approximately 1 min. Following this initial period, the gas flow may be reduced to a minimal level sufficient to ensure that the sample is always in contact with the test gas and that no air can leak-back
41、 into the challenge chamber. If the test is to be carried out at a non-ambient temperature, the challenge gas should be brought to the non-ambient temperature before it enters the test cell. b) Care shall be taken so as not to pressurize the challenge or collection chamber. Overly high pressures may
42、 develop at high gas flow or as a result of attachments that restrict the flow of gas from the chamber. Tightly-packed activated carbon beds or highly restrictive sparger tubes are examples of such attachments. The concentration of the chemical test in the collecting medium shall be measured periodi
43、cally or continuously. For periodical measurement, the number of measurement shall be sufficient to define the breakthrough time. The frequency of analysis of the collecting medium immediately before the time at which the NPR is measured shall be as listed in Table 1. Table 1 Minimum sampling rates
44、for collection medium Final result Minimum rate of sampling 10 min Every 75 s 10 min but 30 min Every 150 s 30 min but 60 min Every 150 s 60 min but 120 min Every 6 min 120 min but 240 min Every 6 min 240 min but 480 min Every 11 min 480 min At least one measurement after 8 h In cases where the resu
45、lt cannot reliably be estimated more frequent analysis may be prudent. NOTE 1 The values of 75 s, 150 s, 6 min and 11 min are intended as maximum permissible values of nominal 60 s, 120 s, 5 min and 10 min sampling frequencies. DIN EN 16523-2:2015-04 EN 16523-2:2015 (E) 8 NOTE 2 For certain chemical
46、s, the continuous analysis is not possible (complexity, specificity, use of complex detection techniques). The NBT is deemed to have occurred when the permeation rates of the challenge chemical reaches the NPR; see EN 16523-1:2015, 8.5.1 and 8.5.2. If required, continue the test until the permeation
47、 steady-state (see EN 16523-1:2015, Figure 1) has been reached. The 3 test specimens shall be tested. Each visual change (with the naked eye optical devices,) in the test specimen after the test shall be registered (see EN 16523-1:2015, Annex B). The test can be stopped in case a severe degradation
48、of the test specimen or saturation of the detector or any situation that damages the test equipment. 8.4 Calculation of results See EN 16523-1:2015, 8.4. 8.5 Expression of results See EN 16523-1:2015, 8.5. 8.6 Uncertainty of measurements See EN 16523-1:2015, 8.6. 9 Test report Apply EN 16523-1:2015, Clause 9, except for the indented line 2, the reference to this standard shall be made.
