Protective clothing - Determination of resistance to penetration by sprayed liquid chemicals, emulsions and dispersions - Atomizer test

This European Standard specifies a test method to determine the resistance of textile materials against penetration by atomized liquid chemicals, emulsions and dispersions. These materials are intended to be used in both limited-use and reusable protective clothing.
The penetration is expressed in percent, as ratio of the amounts of chemical applied and retained by the textile. The methods of quantitative physico-chemical analysis used for mass detection will depend on the chemical under test.

Schutzkleidung - Bestimmung des Widerstandes gegen Durchdringung von flüssigen gespritzten Chemikalien, Emulsionen und Dispersionen - Spritzverfahren

Diese Europäische Norm legt ein Prüfverfahren für den Durchdringungswiderstand textiler Materialien gegen aufgespritzte flüssige Chemikalien, Emulsionen und Dispersionen fest. Diese Materialien sind sowohl für den Gebrauch von begrenzt einsetzbarer als auch für wieder verwendbarer Schutzkleidung vorgesehen.
Die Penetration wird als Verhältnis der Mengen des aufgebrachten und des sich durch die Textilprobe abtrennenden geprüften chemischen Stoffes in Prozentwerten angegeben. Die Verfahren der quantitativen chemischen bzw. physikalischen für die Feststellung der Massen angewendeten Analyse hängen von der zu prüfenden chemischen Substanz ab.

Vetements de protection - Détermination de la résistance a la pénétration par les produits chimiques liquides pulvérisés, les émulsions et les dispersions - Essai de pulvérisation

La présente Norme européenne spécifie une méthode d'essai de la résistance a la pénétration des matériaux
textiles par des produits chimiques liquides pulvérisés, par des émulsions et des dispersions. Ces matériaux
sont conçus pour etre utilisés a la fois dans des vetements de protection a usage unique ou réutilisables.
La pénétration est exprimée en pourcentage, représentant le rapport entre les quantités de produit chimique
appliquées et arretés par l'échantillon textile. Les méthodes d'analyse physico-chimiques quantitatives servant
a la détection en masse seront fonction du produit chimique soumis a l'essai.

EN 14786:2006 (E) 3 Foreword This European Standard (EN 14786:2006) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 162 “Protective clothing including hand and arm protection and lifejackets”, the secretariat of which is held by DIN. This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by October 2006, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the latest by October 2006. This European Standard has been prepared under a mandate given to CEN by the European Commission and the European Free Trade Association, and supports essential requirements of EU Directive 89/686/EEC. For relationship with EU Directive(s), see informative Annex ZA, which is an integral part of this European Standard. According to the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organizations of the following countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and United Kingdom.



EN 14786:2006 (E) 4 Introduction
This European standard specifies a test method to measure a penetration index for protective clothing materials against atomized emulsions and dispersions of liquid chemicals, e.g. pesticides used in agricultural crop spraying. The data may be used as a guide for screening protective clothing materials but the results of the test are affected by the physical properties of the test chemical, e.g. low volatility chemicals. Clothing, which has been developed from materials selected by means of this method of test, should be used only in well-defined circumstances, i.e. when an evaluation of the finished item has indicated an acceptable level of performance (e.g. in laboratory and field testing of a garment, consideration of exposure levels to specified chemicals etc.).
Clothing made of these materials is not for use as the sole means of protection where resistance to permeation by chemicals at the molecular level (to be determined by EN ISO 6529) is essential and where a complete barrier to liquid (or gaseous chemicals) is required (e.g. risk of exposure to massive and forceful discharges of concentrated liquid chemicals). The potential performance levels of materials as assessed by the test method described in this standard are intended to be used in product specifications for protective apparel against atomized liquids, emulsified and dispersed chemicals.

1 Scope This European Standard specifies a test method to determine the resistance of textile materials against penetration by atomized liquid chemicals, emulsions and dispersions. These materials are intended to be used in both limited-use and reusable protective clothing.
The penetration is expressed in percent, as ratio of the amounts of chemical applied and retained by the textile. The methods of quantitative physico-chemical analysis used for mass detection will depend on the chemical under test. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this European Standard. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies. EN 22768-1, General tolerances - Part 1: Tolerances for linear and angular dimensions without individual tolerance indications (ISO 2768-1:1998) 3 Terms and definitions For the purposes of this European Standard, the following terms and definitions apply.
3.1 penetration
process by which a chemical flows through holes or essential openings in the material.
NOTE The holes may be the result of mechanical damage
3.2 permeation
the process by which a chemical moves through a protective clothing material on a molecular level.
NOTE Permeation involves:
 sorption of the molecules of the chemical into the contacted (outside) surface of the material;
 diffusion of the sorbed molecules in the material, and  desorption of the molecules from the opposite (inner) surface of the material. 4 Principle
A test specimen is contaminated by a small quantity of atomized liquid chemical, emulsion or dispersion, injected by a two-phase nozzle operated by a microprocessor controlled step motor. Part of the chemicals will penetrate and wet the test specimen. The flow of chemical passing through the material will be taken up by an absorbent under the test specimen (see Figure 1 for a schematic representation of the test equipment). After 30 min. exposure time the textile and the adsorbent are extracted and analysed in order to determine the amounts of chemical retained and passed through .The extraction efficiency shall be proven and should be larger than 95 %. Depending on the type of chemical different techniques such as e. g. high pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC) or gas chromatography (GC) are used for the quantitative analysis.
The penetration of a protective clothing material is defined as the ratio of the mass of chemical penetrated to the mass of chemical applied.
