Protective clothing - Mechanical properties - Test method for the determination of the resistance to puncture and dynamic tearing of materials (ISO 13995:2000)

This European Standard specifies a test method for the determination of the resistance to puncture and dynamic tearing of protective clothing materials which are used in situations where snagging and tearing could result in unacceptable damage to the clothing or danger to the wearer through loss of integrity of a barrier.

Schutzkleidung - Mechanische Eigenschaften - Prüfverfahren zur Bestimmung des Widerstandes gegen Durchstoßen und dynamisches Weiterreißen von Materialien (ISO 13995:2000)

Diese Europäische Norm gibt ein Prüfverfahren zur Bestimmung des Widerstandes gegen Durchstoßen und des dynamischen Weiterreißens von Schutzkleidungsmaterialien, die in Situationen verwendet werden, wo Snagging und Weiterreißen zu einer inakzeptablen Beschädigung der Kleidung führen könnte oder für deren Träger durch Verlust an Unversehrtheit eine Gefahr entstehen könnte.

Vêtements de protection - Propriétés mécaniques - Méthode d'essai pour la détermination de la résistance à la perforation et au dynamique des matériaux (ISO 13995:2000)

La présente norme internationale spécifie une méthode d'essai pour la détermination de la résistance à la perforation et au déchirement dynamique de matériaux de vêtements de protection utilisés dans des situations où des accrocs et des déchirures peuvent entraîner des détériorations inacceptables des vêtements ou un risque pour celui qui les porte suite à la perte de l'intégrité d'une barrière. Il est prévu d'utiliser les niveaux de performance déterminés pour spécifier les matériaux à utiliser dans des situations où le risque de dommage est lié à la taille de la perforation et de la déchirure susceptible de survenir en cas d'accident.

Overview

EN ISO 13995:2000 - Protective clothing - Mechanical properties - Test method for the determination of the resistance to puncture and dynamic tearing of materials - is a CEN-adopted European Standard identical to ISO 13995:2000. The standard defines a laboratory test method to measure how protective clothing materials resist puncture and dynamic tearing under conditions where snagging or tearing could cause unacceptable damage or loss of barrier integrity.

Key Topics

  • Scope and purpose: Describes testing for materials used in protective garments where puncture or dynamic tear can endanger the wearer or destroy the protective function.
  • Test method: Specifies a reproducible procedure to determine resistance to puncture and to dynamic tearing of textile and other clothing materials.
  • Specimen preparation and conditioning: Covers preparation and environmental conditioning to ensure comparable test results (material handling, orientation and sample size).
  • Measurement and reporting: Defines the parameters to be measured (force/energy to puncture or to propagate a dynamic tear) and how results should be recorded for use in specifications and quality control.
  • Relevance to material integrity: Enables evaluation of how materials respond to sudden loads or snagging events that may occur during use.

Applications

EN ISO 13995 is used to:

  • Evaluate puncture resistance and dynamic tear resistance of fabrics, laminates and composite materials for protective clothing.
  • Support product development and material selection for PPE in healthcare, industrial, chemical and emergency-response sectors.
  • Provide objective data for quality control, supplier comparison, and material specifications.
  • Inform risk assessments where loss of clothing barrier integrity (due to snagging or tearing) could pose biological, chemical or mechanical hazards.
  • Assist procurement teams and regulatory bodies in defining minimum mechanical performance for protective garments.

Who Uses This Standard

  • PPE manufacturers and material suppliers
  • Independent testing laboratories and certification bodies
  • Product designers and R&D teams developing protective clothing
  • Occupational safety professionals, purchasers and regulators

Related Standards

For comprehensive protection assessment, EN ISO 13995 is typically used alongside other standards addressing abrasion, tensile strength, seam performance and barrier properties. When specifying protective clothing, combine puncture/tear data with standards for fluid penetration, chemical resistance and whole-garment performance.
