What Is EN 13034? - Protective Clothing Against Liquid Chemicals - Performance Requirements

What Is EN 13034? - Protective Clothing Against Liquid Chemicals - Performance Requirements
What Is 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 standard specifies the minimum requirements for limited use and re-useable limited performance chemical protective clothing.

EN 13034 - Protective Clothing Against Liquid Chemicals - Areas of Use

EN 13034 - Protective Clothing Against Liquid Chemicals - Areas of Use

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 permeation barrier (at a molecular level) is not required.

EN 13034 - Protective Clothing Against Liquid Chemicals - Type Requirements

EN 13034 - Protective Clothing Against Liquid Chemicals - Type Requirements

Type 6 Requirements

Type 6 Chemical Protective suits must cover and protect at least the trunk and the limbs.

Example: One piece coveralls or two piece suits (with or without hood), boot-socks, or boot covers.

Type PB [6] Requirements

Type PB [6] Partial body protection covers and protects only specific parts of the body.

Example: coats, aprons, sleeves.

What Is EN 1149-5?

What Is EN 1149-5?
What Is EN 1149-5?

This European standard is part of a series of standards for test methods and requirements for electrostatic properties of protective clothing.

The standard specifies material and design requirements for garments used as part of a total earthed system, to avoid incendiary discharges.

The requirements may not be sufficient in oxygen enriched flammable atmospheres.

This European Standard is not applicable for specifying protection against main voltages.

EN 1149-5: Is A Family Of Standards and Includes 5 Primary Test Methods:

EN 1149-5: Is A Family Of Standards and Includes 5 Primary Test Methods:

EN 1149-1:

Test method for measurement of surface resistivity. Surface resistance measures the conductivity between two points on the surface of a fabric. The lower the resistance the higher the conductivity, resulting in charge going to earth.

EN 1149-2:

Test method for measurement of the electrical resistance through a material (vertical resistance). This is the level of conductivity when measured through the depth of a fabric.

EN 1149-5: Is A Family Of Standards and Includes 5 Primary Test Methods:

EN 1149-3:

Test methods for measurement of charge decay. Charge decay measures how long it takes for an electric current to dissipate. The quicker it dissipates the higher the anti-static properties of the garment.

Please note the EN 1149-4 Garment Test is under development.

EN 1149-5:

EN 1149-5 specifies the performance and design requirements to avoid static discharge for all electrostatic dissipative protective clothing as part of an entire earthed system, shoes, clothing & floor. The material meets the requirements.

EN 13034 - What Is The Difference Between Type 6 And Type PB [6] Chemical Protection?
EN 13034 - What Is The Difference Between Type 6 And Type PB [6] Chemical Protection?

EN 13034 specifies the performance requirements for disposable and re-usable limited performance chemical protective clothing (Type 6 and (Type PB [6]) garments. Limited performance chemical protective clothing (disposable and re-usable) is intended for use in cases of a potential exposure to a light spray, liquid aerosols, low volume splashes and in circumstances where a complete barrier to chemical exposure is not required.

The standard 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 without hood, boot-socks, or boot covers.

Partial Body Protection of similar limited performance Type PB [6] covers and protects only specific parts of the body, e.g. coats, aprons, sleeves, etc.

EN 13034 - What Is The Difference Between Type 6 And Type PB [6] Chemical Protection Testing?

In order to ensure that a chemical protective suit meets Type 6 protection, it is tested using a mist or fine spray of water. The water is dosed with a mild detergent to produce a specified surface tension and injected with a dye to aid the assessment of leakage. The test subject wears an absorbent suit underneath the one to be tested, which absorbs any leaks and is stained by the dye. Success or failure is determined by measuring the total area of any stains on three suits and comparing this with the requirement. Leaks will typically occur at closures and interface areas, but the liquid can also seep through the material itself.

Type PB [6] testing is conducted in a similar way to the Type 6 suit test but only on partial body garments such as sleeves, aprons, coats, etc.

Portwest’s BizTex™ Micro fabric is a polypropylene substrate with anti-static properties to which a polyethylene film is applied (PP/PE). The outer layer prevents the passage of liquid molecules inwards yet allows the vapour molecules that build up on the inside of the fabric to permeate. This technology keeps the wearer fresh and comfortable. BizTex™ Micro has the added benefit of having an anti-static coating that provides protection against electrostatic buildup. BizTex™ Micro is also available in an 82g option, offering added strength, abrasion and tear resistance.
