20、ed Kingdom. BS EN 13034:2005+A1:2009EN 13034:2005+A1:2009 (E) 4 Introduction Protection should be proportional to the risk to avoid excessive discomfort due to overprotection. The categorisation into types of chemical protective clothing is an attempt to discriminate between different general levels
21、 of risk. The determination of the actual risk level should follow from a risk assessment, which takes all relevant parameters into account, e.g. the nature of the chemical, temperature, pressure, quantity, parts of the body likely to be exposed, climatic conditions, intensity of work etc. This risk
22、 assessment will give important indications about suitable types of materials, clothing design and composition of the most effective solution, e.g. combination with other types of PPE or other items of chemical protective clothing. Type 6 and PB 6 are intended to be used in cases where risk has been
23、 assessed as low and a full liquid permeation barrier is not necessary, i.e. when wearers are able to take timely adequate action when their clothing is contaminated. Type 6 and PB 6 protective clothing form the lowest level of chemical protection and are intended to protect from a potential exposur
24、e to small quantities of spray or accidental low volume splashes. A technical report to give guidance on questions pertaining to selection, use, care and maintenance is currently under development. BS EN 13034:2005+A1:2009EN 13034:2005+A1:2009 (E) 5 1 Scope This document specifies the minimum requir
25、ements for limited use and re-useable limited performance chemical protective clothing. Limited performance chemical protective clothing is intended for use in cases of a potential exposure to a light spray, liquid aerosols or low pressure, low volume splashes, against which a complete liquid permea
26、tion barrier (at the molecular level) is not required. This document covers both chemical protective suits (Type 6) and partial body protection (Type PB 6). Chemical protective suits (Type 6) cover and protect at least the trunk and the limbs, e.g. one-piece coveralls or two piece suits, with or wit
27、hout hood, boot-socks or boot-covers. This document specifies minimum requirements for the connections between different parts of Type 6 suits by the use of a reduced whole suit spray test using a variant of !EN ISO 17491-4“, as described in 5.2. Partial body protection of similar limited performanc
28、e (Type PB 6) covers and protects only specific parts of the body, e.g. coats, aprons, sleeves etc. They should not be tested to the whole suit test (5.2). 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document.

35、er, a touch-and-close fastener etc., to close openings for the donning of protective clothing 3.7 chemical protective suit (or whole suit) clothing worn to protect against chemicals, that covers at least trunk, arms and legs and where various types of additional protection e.g. hood or helmet, boots
36、 and gloves may be joined with. Several garments may be combined to provide the desired level of protection 3.8 partial body protection protective clothing item worn to protect one or more parts of the body, which are particularly exposed to the risk. Partial body protection may be used separately o
37、r in combination with other garments to increase the protection level of specific parts of the body. Examples of partial body protection are sleeves, aprons and laboratory coats 3.9 limited use protective clothing clothing intended for limited wear life usage (single use or limited re-use according
38、to the manufacturers instructions), i.e. to be worn until hygienic cleaning becomes necessary or until disposal is required after chemical contamination 3.10 re-usable chemical protective clothing clothing intended to be re-used after the necessary reprocessing steps, such as e.g. hygienic cleaning,
39、 decontamination, or reapplication of repellent treatments, whilst still providing adequate protection 3.11 penetration process by which chemicals and/or micro-organisms move through porous materials, seams, pinholes and other imperfections of a material on a non-molecular level 4 Performance requir
40、ements for materials, seams joins and assemblages 4.1 Materials Chemical protective clothing materials shall be tested and classified in accordance with Table 1 (see also EN 14325:2004, Clause 4). If not otherwise specified in the test methods, at least five specimens shall be tested for each proper
41、ty. The lowest individual value shall be calculated and used to describe the performance level. BS EN 13034:2005+A1:2009EN 13034:2005+A1:2009 (E) 7 Pre-conditioning and conditioning shall be carried out in accordance with EN 14325:2004, 4.2 and 4.3, as required. Manufacturers instructions with regar
42、d to number of cleaning cycles, cleaning procedures and possible reapplication of treatments shall be observed. For all requirements, except for liquid penetration and repellency, at least performance level 1 shall be obtained. For liquid repellency a performance level 3 shall be obtained for at lea
43、st one of the chemicals referred to in EN 14325:2004, Clause 4. For resistance to penetration by liquids a performance level of at least 2 shall be obtained for at least one of the chemicals referred to in EN 14325:2004, Clause 4.

The reason why the test could not be applied or completed, shall be indicated, e.g. that the elasticity of the specimen prevents to determine an end-point in the puncture resistance test. Materials
46、shall be known not to cause skin irritation or have any adverse effect to health (see EN 340:2003, 4.2). !NOTE 1 “The material of construction should be as light and as flexible as possible in order to ensure wearer comfort as well as providing effective protection. Material properties are only one
47、element for the determination of wearer comfort of protective clothing. Design features of the clothing may have a more important influence on wearer comfort than material properties. !NOTE 2 If resistance to heat and flame is required, the chemical protective clothing should be tested and marked ac
48、cording to the appropriate standard.“ 4.2 Seams, joins and assemblages 4.2.1 Resistance to penetration by liquids The construction of seams shall prevent penetration of liquid through stitch holes or through other components of a seam and not obstruct run-off of the liquid. The requirements of this
49、clause apply to the seams, joins and assemblages of the whole garment up to and including component parts, such as gloves or boots, which are integral to the garment. For type 6 suits the result of the whole suit spray test (see 5.2) should also be considered as it gives an indication of the resistance to liquid penetration of seams, joins and assemblages.
