Overview

SIST EN 14605:2005/kprA1:2009 is a European standard developed by CEN that specifies performance requirements for protective clothing against liquid chemicals. This standard covers garments designed with liquid-tight (Type 3) or spray-tight (Type 4) connections, including specialized items that provide protection to only parts of the body (Types PB [3] and PB [4]). The standard ensures that protective wear meets stringent criteria to safeguard workers from chemical hazards during handling, spraying, or accidental exposure.

This latest amendment refines testing protocols and enhances safety information disclosures, emphasizing practical use and hazard prevention in chemical protective clothing.

Key Topics

• Protective Clothing Types:

  • Type 3: Clothing with liquid-tight connections providing full body protection against liquid chemicals.
  • Type 4: Clothing with spray-tight connections designed to protect the wearer from sprayed chemical substances.
  • Partial Body Protection (PB[3] and PB[4]): Garments that cover and protect only specific body parts from liquid chemical exposure.

• Performance Testing Updates:
  The amendment modifies clause 4.1 by deleting the last row of Table 1, which referred to EN 14325, clause 4.14. A new note highlights that if resistance to heat and flame is required, the clothing should be tested and marked per the relevant heat/flame standards.

• Manufacturer Information Requirements:
  Clause 6 has been updated to mandate the inclusion of a warning phrase:
  "Flammable material. Keep away from fire."
  This addition is key for user safety, alerting wearers and handlers about flammability risks associated with the materials.

• Compliance and Standard Integration:
  The amendment supports conformity with EC Directives via harmonized testing methods and documentation to assure safety and regulatory compliance throughout Europe.

Applications

SIST EN 14605:2005/kprA1:2009 protective clothing is essential in industries where liquid chemical hazards are present, including:

• Chemical Manufacturing and Processing: Protects operators from exposure to corrosive, toxic, or harmful liquids.
• Pharmaceutical Production: Ensures safe handling of potentially hazardous liquid substances.
• Agriculture and Pesticide Application: Guards users from sprays and liquid pesticides.
• Emergency Response and Hazardous Materials Handling: Provides reliable barrier protection during spill containment and cleanup.
• Laboratory and Research Facilities: For personnel working with chemical reagents and liquid hazardous substances.

Use of compliant protective clothing per this standard minimizes the risk of chemical burns, contamination, and occupational diseases associated with liquid chemical exposure.

Related Standards

• EN 14325: Protective clothing - Test methods and performance requirements for chemical protective clothing, referenced for testing heat and flame resistance.
• EC Directives: Regulatory frameworks governing personal protective equipment (PPE) compliance in the European Union.
• ISO 16602: Protective clothing for protection against chemicals - Classification, performance, and marking.
• EN ISO 14116: Protective clothing - Protection against heat and flame - Limited flame spread materials.

Integrating these standards alongside EN 14605 helps manufacturers develop high-performance chemical protective clothing with multi-hazard resistance and clear safety labeling.
