Protective clothing - Guidelines for selection, use, care and maintenance of chemical protective clothing
This Technical Report is primarily intended for users, specifiers and others with responsibility for the procurement and provision of chemical protective clothing. It is also intended to be used by manufacturers in their dialogue with the users of PPE.
This Technical Report is intended to clarify the inter-relationship of the set of standards, developed by CEN/TC 162 WG 3, and to explain the main ideas behind these standards. This set of standards has been developed in support of the European legislation on PPE and is currently used as a major technical tool for the assessment and certification of CPC before it is put on the European market.
These guidelines are intended to assist users and specifiers in selecting the correct type of CPC for the task to be performed, and to help them ensure it is used according to the manufacturer's instructions to provide adequate protection during its entire lifetime. Lifetime and effectiveness of protective clothing depend largely on care and maintenance. When cleaning, disinfection and end-of-life disposal are considered the environmental impact should also be taken into account.
This Technical Report does not address chemical nuisance factors without potential impact on a person's health and safety, e.g. smell.
Schutzkleidung - Empfehlungen für die Auswahl, die Verwendung, die Pflegung und die Bereithaltung von Schutzkleidung gegen Chemikalien
Dieser Technische Bericht dient hauptsächlich Nutzern, Spezifikationserstellern und anderen Verantwortlichen für die Beschaffung und Bereitstellung von Chemikalienschutzkleidung. Er ist auch für die Anwendung durch Hersteller in ihrem Dialog mit den Nutzern von PSA bestimmt.
Dieser Technische Bericht dient der Klärung des Zusammenhangs der Reihe von Normen, die durch das CEN/TC 162 WG 3 erarbeitet wurden sowie dazu, die diesen Normen zugrundeliegenden Hauptideen zu erklären. Diese Reihe von Normen wurde mit Unterstützung der EU-Gesetzgebung zu PSA erarbeitet und wird gegenwärtig als ein wichtiges technisches Instrument für die Beurteilung und Zertifizierung von CPC vor dem Inverkehrbringen auf dem Europäischen Markt angewendet.
Diese Leitlinien sollen Anwendern und Spezifikationserstellern bei der Auswahl des richtigen Typs von CPC für die durchzuführende Aufgabe als Hilfestellung dienen und ihnen dabei helfen, sicherzustellen, dass diese CPC entsprechend den Herstelleranweisungen verwendet werden, damit sie während ihrer gesamten Lebensdauer angemessenen Schutz bieten. Lebensdauer und Wirksamkeit von Schutzkleidung sind stark von Pflege und Wartung abhängig. Bei Überlegungen zu Reinigung, Desinfektion und Entsorgung nach Ende der Lebensdauer sollte auch die Umweltauswirkung berücksichtigt werden.
Dieser Technische Bericht behandelt keine chemischen Störfaktoren ohne mögliche Auswirkung auf die Gesundheit und Sicherheit von Personen, z. B. Geruch.
Habillement de protection - Recommandations pour la sélection, l'utilisation, l'entretien et la maintenance des vêtements de protection chimique
Le présent Rapport Technique est principalement destiné aux utilisateurs, aux personnes chargées de la sélection des produits et aux responsables des achats de vêtements de protection chimique. Il s’adresse également aux fabricants qui peuvent l’utiliser lors de leurs contacts et de leurs échanges avec les utilisateurs d’équipements de protection individuelle (EPI).
Le présent Rapport Technique se propose de clarifier les relations entre les différentes parties de la série de normes développée dans le cadre du GT 3 du CEN/TC 162 et d’expliquer les principales notions et concepts qui se dégagent de ces normes. Ladite série de normes a été élaborée dans le but d’aider à l’application de la législation européenne sur les équipements de protection individuelle (EPI) et elle sert actuellement, en tant que support technique majeur, à l’évaluation et à la certification des vêtements de protection chimique (VPC) avant leur mise sur le marché européen.
Ces lignes directrices sont destinées à aider les utilisateurs et les personnes chargées de la sélection des vêtements à choisir le type de VPC qui convient le mieux à la tâche à exécuter et à leur permettre de s’assurer de la bonne utilisation de ces vêtements de manière à ce qu’ils garantissent une protection adéquate tout au long de leur durée d’utilisation. La durée d’utilisation d’un vêtement de protection et son efficacité dépendent dans une large mesure de son entretien. Lors du nettoyage et de la décontamination, et avant la mise au rebut en fin de durée d’utilisation, il convient de tenir compte également de l’effet sur l’environnement.
Le présent Rapport Technique n’aborde pas les facteurs de nuisance chimiques sans effets nocifs potentiels sur la santé et la sécurité des personnes, tels que les odeurs par exemple.
Varovalna obleka - Smernice za izbiro, uporabo, nego in vzdrževanje varovalne obleke, ki varuje pred kemikalijami
To tehnično poročilo je namenjeno predvsem uporabnikom, specifikatorjem in drugim, ki so odgovorni za nabavo in zagotavljanje varovalnih oblek, ki varujejo pred kemikalijami. Namenjeno je tudi za uporabo proizvajalcev pri dialogu z uporabniki osebne varovalne opreme.
Namen tega tehničnega poročila je pojasniti medsebojno povezavo skupine standardov, ki jih je pripravil CEN/TC 162 WG 3, in pojasniti glavne zamisli v teh standardih. Ta skupina standardov je bila pripravljena za podporo evropski zakonodaji s področja osebne varovalne opreme in se trenutno uporablja kot glavno tehnično orodje za ocenjevanje in certificiranje obleke za zaščito pred kemikalijami pred plasiranjem na evropski trg.
Namen teh smernic je pomagati uporabnikom in specifikatorjem pri izbiri pravilne vrste obleke za zaščito pred kemikalijami za predvideno opravilo in jim zagotoviti, da pri uporabi v skladu z navodili proizvajalca zagotavlja ustrezno zaščito v času svoje življenjske dobe. Življenjska doba in učinkovitost varovalnih oblek sta v veliki meri odvisna od nege in vzdrževanja. Pri čiščenju, razkuževanju in odstranitvi po izteku življenjske dobe je treba upoštevati tudi vpliv na okolje.
To tehnično poročilo ne obravnava kemičnih motečih dejavnikov brez morebitnega vpliva na zdravje in varnost oseb, npr. vonj.

Introduction
Although the general SUCAM document developed within CEN/TC 162 provides a lot of useful
information, it was felt that a specific SUCAM document for chemical protective clothing (CPC) was
necessary, in view of the very specific problems linked with the use of CPC (very large variety of risks,
disinfection, etc.).
Workplace hazards should be reduced to the lowest level reasonably achievable. This can be done by
eliminating the risk, by taking engineering measures such as encapsulation of the risk, by system
control and/or by providing safe work place practices, which can include the use of CPC.
This means that the role of CPC in controlling the residual risk should be established in the correct
context. The performance requirements for CPC should be characterized in terms of the nature,
quantity and physical form of the hazardous chemical and the likelihood of contamination.
PPE should be evaluated as a whole, not only by its performance related to protection. Other factors
such as usability and maintenance should also be taken into account to match the equipment and the
intended use. Selection and use are more people-related, whereas care and maintenance are more
product-related.
The risk related to the use of chemicals varies widely with the nature of the hazard and the conditions
and duration of exposure to the chemicals. Therefore, risk and exposure assessment should be done
very carefully in order to avoid overprotection and to ensure full acceptance of the protective clothing,
which is often used in extremely dangerous work environments.
