Protective clothing against solid airborne particles including radioactive contamination - Part 1: Requirements and test methods for compressed air line ventilated protective clothing, protecting the body and the respiratory tract

This European Standard specifies the requirements and test methods for protective clothing, ventilated by an independent supply of air from an uncontaminated source, protecting the body and the respiratory system of the wearer against solid airborne particles including radioactive contamination. This kind of protective clothing can be provided with an emergency breathing facility.
This European Standard does not apply for the protection against ionizing radiation and the protection of patients against contamination with radioactive substances by diagnostic and/or therapeutic measures.
If additional protection against chemicals is required, reference should be made to the relevant standard and/or CEN/TR 15419.

Schutzkleidung gegen feste Partikel einschließlich radioaktiver Kontamination - Teil 1: Anforderungen und Prüfverfahren für belüftete Schutzkleidung, zum Schutz des Körpers und der Atemwege

Diese Europäische Norm legt die Anforderungen an und Prüfverfahren für Schutzkleidung fest, die von einer unabhängigen Luftzufuhr aus einer nicht kontaminierten Quelle belüftet wird und den Körper sowie das Atemwegssystem des Trägers gegen feste Partikel einschließlich radioaktiver Kontamination schützt. Diese Art der Schutzkleidung kann mit einer Notatemluftversorgung ausgestattet sein.
Diese Europäische Norm gilt nicht zum Schutz gegen ionisierende Strahlen und nicht zum Schutz von Patienten gegen Kontamination durch radioaktive Substanzen bei diagnostischen und/oder therapeutischen Maßnahmen.
Wenn zusätzlicher Schutz gegen Chemikalien erforderlich ist, sollte auf die maßgebliche Norm und/oder auf CEN/TR 15419 verwiesen werden.

Vêtements de protection contre les particules solides en suspension dans l'air, incluant la contamination radioactive - Partie 1: Exigences et méthodes des vêtements de protection ventilés par une adduction d’air comprimé protégeant le corps et le système respiratoire

La présente Norme européenne spécifie les exigences et les méthodes d'essai applicables aux vêtements de protection, ventilés par une alimentation indépendante en air provenant d'une source non contaminée, protégeant le corps et le système respiratoire du porteur contre les particules solides en suspension dans l'air, incluant la contamination radioactive. Ce type de vêtement de protection peut être muni d’un système respiratoire d’urgence.
La présente Norme européenne ne s'applique pas à la protection contre les rayonnements ionisants et à la protection des patients contre la contamination par des substances radioactives résultant de mesures diagnostiques et/ou thérapeutiques.
Si une protection supplémentaire contre les produits chimiques est exigée, il convient de faire référence à la norme concernée et/ou au CEN/TR 15419.

Ta evropski standard določa zahteve in preskusne metode za varovalno obleko s samostojnim dovodom zraka iz neonesnaženega vira, ki ščiti telo in dihalne organe uporabnika pred trdnimi lebdečimi delci, vključno z radioaktivnim onesnaženjem. To vrsto varovalne obleke je mogoče zagotoviti z dihalno napravo za nujne primere.
Ta evropski standard se ne uporablja za zaščito pred ionizirajočim sevanjem in za zaščito bolnikov pred onesnaženjem z radioaktivnimi snovmi na podlagi diagnostičnih in/ali terapevtskih ukrepov.
Če je treba uporabiti dodatno zaščito pred kemikalijami, glej drug ustrezni standard in/ali standard CEN/TR 15419.
