Protective clothing for protection against chemicals - Classification, labelling and performance requirements - Part 1: General requirements (ISO/DIS 16602-1:2025)

This document specifies minimum performance classification and labelling requirements for protective clothing designed to provide protection against:
- specified chemicals in the workplace, and
- unidentified chemicals in emergency situations.
Protective clothing against chemicals including solids, airborne particles, aerosols, liquids, and gases is addressed by this document.
Protective clothing items covered by this document include full body and partial body. The area of protection is denoted in the marking requirements. The ISO 16602 series allows for a modular approach.
This document sets the general requirements and the rules for applying the modular approach. The other parts focus on requirements and classification from design, chemical, physical properties and full garment testing perspectives. The seams, joins and assemblages attaching the components (including accessories) are included within the scope of this series of standards. ISO 16602-6 provides a Selection, Care and Maintenance guide to help the end-user selection process.
Chemicals such as violently air sensitive reagents, unstable explosives and cryogenic liquids have not been considered since protection against these additional hazards is beyond the scope of this standard.
Particulate protection is limited to physical penetration of the particulates only; permeation of solids is not considered.
This document does not address components such as gloves, boots, eye/face protection devices and respiratory protective devices as their performance criteria are given in other standards. However, when these components are an integral part of the protective clothing ensemble or are tested as part of an ensemble, supplementary requirements may be provided in this standard.
This document does not specifically address non-chemical hazards, such as biological and infective agents, thermal (flame, heat or cold) hazards, explosive hazards, and ionizing radiation hazards as specific requirements are covered by other relevant standards. The type of equipment specified in this series of standards is not intended for total immersion in liquids. However, additional protection may be integrated as a specific module based on the respective standard (e.g. meeting both ISO 16602-1 & ISO 11612 in a multi-risk suit).
It is not the intent of this series of documents to be exhaustive and address all situations.

Schutzkleidung gegen Chemikalien - Klassifizierung, Kennzeichnung und Leistungsfähigkeit - Teil 1: Allgemeines (ISO/DIS 16602-1:2025)

Dieses Dokument legt Mindestanforderungen an die Klassifizierung der Leitungsfähigkeit und die Kennzeichnung von Schutzkleidung fest, die aufgrund ihrer Gestaltung Schutz bietet gegen:
   festgelegte Chemikalien am Arbeitsplatz; und
   nicht identifizierten Chemikalien in Notfallsituationen.
In diesem Dokument wird Schutzkleidung gegen Chemikalien behandelt, einschließlich Feststoffen, luftgetragener Partikel, Aerosolen, Flüssigkeiten und Gasen (einschließlich radioaktiver Kontamination). Ob gegen Chemikalien oder radioaktive Kontaminationsstoffe in Form von Feststoffen, luftgetragenen Partikeln, Aerosolen, Flüssigkeiten oder Gasen wird mittels der Prüfung von Kleidungsstücken deren Schutz bewertet. Dieses Dokument muss in Verbindung mit den folgenden Normen angewendet werden: ISO/DIS 16602 2, ISO/DIS 16602 3, ISO/DIS 16602 4 und ISO/DIS 16602 5.
Von diesem Dokument abgedeckte Schutzkleidungsstücke schließen Ganzkörperschutzkleidung und Teilkörperschutzkleidungsstücke ein. Der Schutzbereich ist in den Anforderungen an die Kennzeichnung angegeben. Die Normenreihe ISO 16602 verfolgt einen modularen Ansatz, um den Mindestschutz gegen Chemikalien zu erhöhen. Dieses Dokument legt die allgemeinen Anforderungen und die Regeln zur Anwendung des modularen Ansatzes fest. Die zusätzlichen Schutzeigenschaften werden in der Kennzeichnung und der Gebrauchsanweisung angegeben. Die anderen Dokumente in dieser Normenreihe konzentrieren sich auf die Anforderungen und Klassifizierung aus Sicht der Gestaltung, der chemischen und physikalischen Eigenschaften und der Prüfung von Kleidungsstücken.
Die Nähte, Verbindungen und Verbünde zum Anbringen der Bestandteile (einschließlich Zubehörteilen) liegen innerhalb des Anwendungsbereichs dieser Normenreihe. ISO/DIS 16602 6 stellt eine Anleitung für die Auswahl, Pflege und Wartung bereit, um den Endanwender beim Auswahlprozess zu unterstützen, und gibt außerdem auch einen Überblick über die Normenreihe ISO 16602.
Chemikalien wie stark luftempfindliche Reagenzien, instabile Explosivstoffe und kryogene Flüssigkeiten wurden nicht berücksichtigt, da der Schutz gegen diese zusätzlichen Gefährdungen außerhalb des Anwendungsbereichs dieser Norm liegt. Der Schutz vor Partikeln ist lediglich auf die physikalische Durchdringung der Partikel beschränkt; die Permeation von Feststoffen wird nicht berücksichtigt.
Dieses Dokument behandelt nicht solche Bestandteile wie Handschuhe, Stiefel, Augen-/Gesichtsschutzeinrichtungen und Atemschutzgeräte, da deren Leistungskriterien in anderen Normen festgelegt sind. Wenn diese Bestandteile jedoch ein fester Bestandteil des Schutzkleidungssystems sind oder als Teil eines Kleidungssystems geprüft werden, sind in dieser Norm möglicherweise ergänzende Anforderungen angegeben.
Dieses Dokument behandelt nicht eigens nicht-chemische Gefährdungen, wie z. B. Gefährdungen durch biologische Agenzien und Infektionserreger, thermische Gefährdungen (Flammen, Wärme oder Kälte), Explosionsgefährdungen und Gefährdungen aufgrund ionisierender Strahlung (mit Ausnahme von radioaktiver Kontamination), da spezifische Anforderungen von anderen maßgebenden Normen abgedeckt werden. Die Art der in dieser Normenreihe festgelegten Ausrüstung ist nicht für den Schutz gegen vollständiges Eintauchen in Flüssigkeiten vorgesehen. Jedoch darf zusätzlicher Schutz als ein spezifisches Modul basierend auf der entsprechenden Norm einbezogen werden (z. B. Übereinstimmung sowohl mit ISO/DIS 16602-1 als auch ISO 11612 bei einem Schutzanzug für mehrere Risiken).
Diese Normenreihe beansprucht nicht, vollständig zu sein und behandelt nicht alle möglichen Szenarien.

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through
ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee
has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations,
governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely
with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are described
in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular, the different approval criteria needed for the different types
of ISO documents should be noted. This
