2、I, as a member of CEN, is obliged to publish EN 16523-2:2015 as a British Standard. However, attention is drawn to the fact that during the development of this European Standard, the UK committee voted against its approval as a European Standard.The following opinions regarding this standard and EN
3、16523-1 have been expressed by the UK committee: EN 16523-1 and EN 16523-2 were drafted with the intention of having one test method that can be applied to gloves, footwear and clothing. However, as written, these standards do not align with clause 4.3, Permeation test, from the chemical-protective
4、footwear standard, EN 13832-1:2006. The dimensions outlined for the design of the permeation cells in clause 6.1 are unnecessarily restrictive. The inter-laboratory trial inadvertently showed that the size of the test cell does not have a significant effect on the result while benefits can be gained
5、 by using different sized cells for closed loop and open loop testing, including maximized sensitivity and minimized uncertainty of measurement. The test methods described in EN 16523-1 and EN 16523-2 do not consider cumulative permeation. It is increasingly recognized that breakthrough time alone i
6、s a poor indicator of chemical protection, especially when considering the latest generation of barrier-laminate materials. ISO 6529 is available for readers to refer to as an alternative standard test method.Further commentary on EN 16523-1 and EN 16523-2 from UK Technical Committee PH/3/3 can be f

43、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 resistance of a PPE (protecti
44、ve 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 from the collecting medium.
45、 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, gloves and footwear) mat
46、erial. 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; BS EN 16523-2:2015EN 16523-2:2015 (E)BS EN 16523-2:2015EN 16523-2:2015 (E) 4 Introduction This European Standard is used in conjunction w
