Overview

EN 14605:2005+A1:2009 is a comprehensive European standard specifying performance requirements for protective clothing against liquid chemicals. It focuses on garments with liquid-tight (Type 3) or spray-tight (Type 4) connections, including items that provide protection to specific parts of the body only (Types PB [3] and PB [4]). This standard ensures that users are protected from hazardous chemical liquids through stringent testing of materials, seams, and garment performance under realistic conditions.

Developed and maintained by the European Committee for Standardization (CEN), EN 14605:2005+A1:2009 applies to both limited use and reusable chemical protective clothing. It supports essential safety requirements under EU Directive 89/686/EEC, facilitating safer workplaces where chemical exposure is a risk.


Key Topics

  • Scope and Types of Protection:

    • Full-body liquid-tight clothing (Type 3) with sealed connections between garment parts and to components (e.g., hoods, gloves, boots).
    • Full-body spray-tight clothing (Type 4) designed to protect against chemical sprays with tight connections.
    • Partial body protection (Types PB [3] and PB [4]), covering specific areas such as laboratory coats, aprons, sleeves, or non-air-supplied hoods.
  • Material Requirements:
    Garment materials must meet minimum abrasion resistance, tear resistance, tensile strength, puncture resistance, and chemical permeation performance levels. Materials must be free from skin irritants and tested after specified cleaning cycles to ensure durability and safety.

  • Seams and Assemblage Integrity:
    The durability and impermeability of seams and joins are critical. Testing ensures that liquid chemical resistance is maintained throughout the connections between garment components.

  • Performance Testing:

    • Type 3 suits undergo jet spray penetration tests simulating direct liquid jets.
    • Type 4 suits undergo spray tests simulating chemical spray exposure.
    • For partial body protection, only material and seam performance is assessed-no full suit testing is required.
  • Wearer Comfort and Mobility:
    Protective suits must allow freedom of movement, verified through a "seven movements" test involving kneeling, crawling, climbing, and arm extension. Comfort impacts practical use and safety compliance, making ergonomic design essential.

  • Marking and Manufacturer Information:
    Garments must be clearly marked with performance classifications and usage instructions, including cleaning protocols and limitations, to ensure proper selection and safe use.
