ASTM F1194-99(2010)

Standard Guide for Documenting the Results of Chemical Permeation Testing of Materials Used in Protective Clothing

SIGNIFICANCE AND USE
This guide is intended to encourage thorough and consistent documentation of permeation testing and its results.
Uniform information and performance data increase the likelihood of selecting proper chemical protective clothing material (CPC) by permitting direct comparisons of one product with another.
A standard format for test information and data also encourages computer storage of test results for easy retrieval, comparison and correlations.
SCOPE
1.1 This guide provides a format for documenting information and performance data from a permeation test.
1.2 Documented information and data are grouped into five major categories that define important aspects of each test:
1.2.1 Protective Clothing Material,
1.2.2 Test Method,
1.2.3 Challenge Chemical,
1.2.4 Test Results, and
1.2.5 Source of the Data.
1.3 Use of this guide is facilitated by adherence to the procedures outlined in a standard test method.

Materials Used in Protective Clothing
This standard is issued under the fixed designation F1194; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year of
original adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. A
superscript epsilon (´) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.
INTRODUCTION
Promulgation of standard test methods for measuring the resistance of protective clothing materials
to permeation by liquid or gaseous chemicals has fostered the generation of increasing volumes of
material performance data. Not all data have been nor will be generated using Test Method F739.
To be useful, such data should be combined with information that specifies detailed characteristics
ofeachtest.Thesecharacteristicsincludeinformationonthematerialspecimens,challengechemicals,
test apparatus, analytical method used and test conditions (for example, temperature). The sensitivity
or detection limit of the test system is of particular importance in comparing the data from different
sources during the protective clothing selection process.
Todate,mostreportsonpermeationtestinghavenotincludedsuchspecificity.Thisguide,therefore,
presents a standard format for recording all required information and data. The standard format is
intended to facilitate the use of electronic databases to store, retrieve and apply test results.
