Introduction
In abrasive blasting, the worker is exposed to hazards caused by the abrasive (direct projection and rebounding
abrasives) and substances produced during the abrasive blasting operation. Depending on the working conditions,
the protection against these hazards requires suitable protective clothing as well as suitable respiratory protective
equipment. For clothing connected to respiratory protective devices, this standard takes into account the
specifications regarding respiratory protective equipment (CEN/TC 79).
1 Scope
This European Standard specifies minimum requirements and test methods for protective clothing for abrasive
blasting operations and for hand protection, for the treatment of surfaces with granular abrasives propelled by
compressed air or by mechanical means. The protection against substances that develop during the blasting
operation as well as connections between the protective clothing and the respiratory protective device are also
covered.
This European Standard does not apply to steam blasting, jet blasting and flame blasting operations.
