(Main)Protective clothing against chemicals - Test methods and performance classification of chemical protective clothing materials, seams, joins and assemblages
Protective clothing against chemicals - Test methods and performance classification of chemical protective clothing materials, seams, joins and assemblages
This European Standard specifies the performance classification and test methods for materials used in chemical protective clothing, including gloves and footwear. The gloves and boots should have the same chemical protective barrier requirements as the fabric when an integral part of the clothing. This is a reference standard to which chemical protective clothing performance standards may refer in whole or in part, but this standard is not exhaustive in the sense that product standards may well require testing according to test method standards which are not included in this standard.
While these performance levels are intended to relate to the usage to which the chemical protective clothing is to be put, it is essential that the chemical protective clothing manufacturer or supplier indicate the intended use of the protective clothing and that the user (specifier) carries out a risk assessment in order to establish the correct performance level for the intended task.
Schutzkleidung gegen Chemikalien - Prüfverfahren und Leistungseinstufung für Materialien, Nähte, Verbindungen und Verbünde von Chemikalienschutzkleidung
Diese Europäische Norm legt die Leistungseinstufung und Prüfverfahren für Materialien fest, die in Chemikalienschutzkleidung, einschließlich Handschuhen und Schuhwerk, verwendet werden. Die Handschuhe und das Schuhwerk sollten dieselben Anforderungen an die chemische Schutzwirkung erfüllen wie der Bekleidungsstoff, wenn sie einen integralen Bestandteil der Schutzkleidung darstellen. Die vorliegende Norm ist eine Bezugsnorm, auf die sich Normen, welche die Leistungsfähigkeit von Chemikalienschutzkleidung behandeln, vollständig oder in Teilen beziehen können. Jedoch ist diese Norm nicht erschöpfend in dem Sinne, dass Produktnormen durchaus eine Prüfung in Übereinstimmung mit Prüfverfahrensnormen erfordern können, welche in dieser Norm nicht enthalten sind.
Während es das Ziel dieser Leistungsstufen ist, die Beziehung zur Verwendung herzustellen, bei der die Chemikalienschutzkleidung getragen werden soll, ist es wesentlich, dass der Hersteller oder Lieferant der Schutzkleidung die bestimmungsgemäße Verwendung der Schutzkleidung anzeigt und dass der (die Verwendung bestimmende) Anwender eine Risikobewertung durchführt, um die richtige Leistungsstufe für die vorgesehene Aufgabe festzulegen.
Habillement de protection contre les produits chimiques - Méthodes d'essai et classification de performance des matériaux, coutures, jonctions et assemblages des vêtements de protection chimique
La présente Norme européenne spécifie la classification de la performance et les méthodes d’essai pour les matériaux utilisés dans les vêtements de protection chimique, y compris les gants et les chaussures. Lorsque les gants et les bottes font partie intégrante du vêtement, il convient que les exigences en matière de barrière de protection chimique auxquelles ils sont soumis soient les mêmes pour que pour les étoffes. Il s’agit d’une norme de référence à laquelle les normes de performance des vêtements de protection chimique peuvent faire référence en tout ou partie, mais cette norme n’est pas exhaustive, au sens où les normes de produits peuvent aussi exiger des essais selon des normes de méthodes d’essai qui ne figurent pas dans la présente norme.
Bien que ces niveaux de performance soient destinés à s’appliquer à l’utilisation pour laquelle le vêtement de protection chimique doit être revêtu, il est essentiel que le fabricant ou le fournisseur de ce vêtement de protection chimique précise l'usage pour lequel il est prévu et que l’utilisateur (le spécificateur) procède à une appréciation des risques afin d’établir le niveau de performance correct pour la tâche prévue.
Varovalne obleke pred kemikalijami - Preskusne metode in zahteve za razvrščanje materialov za izdelavo varovalnih oblek, šivanje, spajanje in sestavljanje (vključno z dopolnilom A1)
Ta evropski standard določa metode za razvrščanje učinkovitosti in preskusne metode za materiale, ki se uporabljajo v varovalnih oblekah pred kemikalijami, vključno z rokavicami in obutvijo. Kadar so rokavice in obutev bistveni del takšne obleke, naj zanje veljajo enake zahteve glede kemične zaščite kot za tekstil. To je referenčni standard, na katerega se lahko v delu ali celoti sklicujejo standardi o učinkovitosti varovalnih oblek pred kemikalijami, vendar ta standard ni izčrpen v smislu, da lahko standardi o izdelkih zahtevajo preskušanje v skladu s standardi o preskusnih metodah, ki niso vključeni v tem standardu.
Čeprav naj bi bile te ravni učinkovitosti povezane z izbrano vrsto uporabe varovalnih oblek pred kemikalijami, je bistvenega pomena, da proizvajalec oziroma dobavitelj takšnih oblek nakaže njihovo predvideno uporabo in da uporabnik (določitelj) izvede oceno tveganja z namenom, da se vzpostavi ustrezna raven učinkovitosti za predvideno opravilo.
