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.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International
Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting.
Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies
casting a vote.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
ISO 13688 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 94, Personal safety - Protective clothing and
equipment, Subcommittee SC 13, Protective clothing and by Technical Committee CEN/TC 162, Protective
clothing including hand and arm protection and lifejackets in collaboration.
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (ISO 13688:1998), which has been technically
revised to include the following changes:
— A statement that this International Standard (and pictogram) is intended to be used in combination
with another product standard was added to the Scope.
— Additional definitions on waist to waist over the shoulder length, and torso.
— Notes on level of performance moved to informative Annex A.
— Clause 4 on ergonomics changed to basic health and ergonomic requirements and revised into
separate sub-sections: general (4.1), innocuousness (4.2), design (4.3) and comfort (4.4).
— Informative Annex C added on ergonomic features.
— Subclause 5.2 on colour fastness removed.
— Subclause 5.3 on cleaning renamed as washing and dry-cleaning (5.2) now includes reference to
standardised processes, including industrial washing.
— Strengthened provisions in 5.3 on dimensional change due to cleaning.
— The size designation system in Clause 6 was simplified with regard to intervals and ranges to allow
more freedom to obtain a better individual fit.
— Subclause 7.2 on specific marking amended to include qualification labelling for industrial laundry care.
— Informative Annex B (Flow chart) added on acceptability of materials.
— Informative Annex F added on environmental aspects.

Note 1 to entry: There are different general types of hazards, e. g. mechanical hazards, chemical hazards, cold
hazards, heat and/or fire hazards, biological agents hazards, radiation hazards. Certain types of these hazards
can, according to circumstances, derive from more specific hazards. Thus, a heat hazard can derive from contact
heat, radiant heat etc. for each of which there can be separate test methods.
Particular garments have been designed to give protection against the hazards encountered in specific types
of activities. Examples of such garments are aprons that provide protection against hand knives, trousers for
use with chainsaws, clothing for protection against chemicals, high visibility clothing and motorcycle rider’s
protective clothing.
3.3
risk
combination of the frequency, or probability, of occurrence and the consequence of a specified
hazardous event
Note 1 to entry: The concept of risk always has two elements: the frequency or probability with which a hazardous
event occurs and the consequences of the hazardous event.
3.4
performance level
number that designates a particular category or range of performance by which the results of testing
can be graded
Note 1 to entry: For further information see Annex A.
3.5
protective clothing
clothing including protectors which cover or replace personal clothing, and which is designed to provide
protection against one or more hazards
3.6
waist to waist over the shoulder length
maximum length measured from the plane of the waist over the shoulder to the plane of the waist
Note 1 to entry: See also Clause 6.
3.7
torso

---------------------- Page: 14 ----------------------
SIST EN ISO 13688:2013
ISO 13688:2013(E)
4.2 Innocuousness
Protective clothing shall not adversely affect the health or hygiene of the user. The materials shall not, in
the foreseeable conditions of normal use, release substances generally known to be toxic, carcinogenic,
mutagenic, allergenic, toxic to reproduction or otherwise harmful.
[9]
NOTE 1 Information on the classification and identification of harmful substances can be found, e.g. in of the
Bibliography.
NOTE 2 Guidance on how to consider acceptability of materials in protective clothing is given in the flow chart
in informative Annex B (Figure B.1).
The following list of documents is given for information and as examples of documents to be examined:
— Information supplied by the manufacturer could include evidence-based information confirming
that the product does not contain any substances at levels that are known or suspected to adversely
affect user hygiene or health,
— Materials specifications,
— Safety data sheets relating to the materials,
— Information relating to the suitability of the materials for use with food, in medical devices, or other
relevant applications,
— Information relating to toxicological, allergenic, carcinogenic, toxic to reproduction or mutagenic
investigations on the materials,
— Information relating to ecotoxicological and other environmental investigations on the materials.
Materials should be selected to minimize the environmental impact of the production and disposal of
protective clothing (see also Annex F).
The examination shall determine whether the claim that the materials are suitable for use in the protective
clothing or protective equipment is justified. Particular attention shall be paid to the presence of plasticisers,
unreacted components, heavy metals, impurities and the chemical identity of pigments and dyes.
Each layer of material of the protective clothing shall comply with the following requirements:
a) Chromium VI content in leather clothing shall not exceed 3 mg/kg according to ISO 17075.
b) All metallic materials which could come into prolonged contact with the skin (e.g. studs, fittings)
2
shall have a release of nickel of less than 0,5 µg/cm per week. The method of test shall be
according to EN 1811.
c) Protective clothing material shall have a value greater than pH3,5 and less than pH9,5. The test
method for leather shall be according to ISO 4045 and for textile materials according to ISO 3071.
d) Azo colorants which release carcinogenic amines listed in EN 14362-1 shall not be detectable by the
method in these standards.
4.3 Design
4.3.1 The design of protective clothing shall facilitate its correct positioning on the user and shall
ensure that it remains in place for the foreseeable period of use, taking into account ambient factors,
together with the movements and postures that the wearer could adopt during the course of work or
other activity. For this purpose, appropriate means, such as adequate adjustment systems or adequate
size ranges shall be provided so as to enable protective clothing to be adapted to the morphology of the
user. (See Annex C).
4.3.2 The design of protective clothing shall ensure that no parts of the body get uncovered by expected
movements by the wearer (e.g. a jacket should not rise above the waist when the arms are raised) if
© ISO 2013 – All rights reserved 3
---------------------- Page: 15 ----------------------
SIST EN ISO 13688:2013
ISO 13688:2013(E)
this is defined in the specific standard. The specific standard for protective clothing shall contain test
criteria (for example: checking that the garment can be put on and taken off easily; that arm and knee
and bending movements are possible; that unprotected body areas do not appear during movements;
that there is an adequate overlap of jacket and trousers; that the manufacturers information is adequate
to explain the correct usage of the protective clothing). (See Annex C).
4.3.3 Where applicable, protective clothing design shall take into account other items of protective
clothing or equipment from the same manufacturer which must be worn to form an overall protective
ensemble. When two or more items are worn together, they should be compatible and each one shall
comply with its own standard. None of them has to reduce the performance of the other item(s) and
the appropriate level of protection should be provided at interface areas between those products, for
example in sleeve to glove, trousers to footwear, hood and respirator combinations. There may be other
combinations.
4.3.4 In each specific standard, a minimum mechanical property to assess the strength of a garment
shall be defined.
4.4 Comfort
4.4.1 Protective clothing shall provide users with a level of comfort consistent with the level of
protection required against the hazard which is present, the ambient conditions, the level of the user’s
activity, and the anticipated duration of use of the protective clothing.
Protective clothing shall not
— have rough, sharp or hard surfaces that irritate or injure the user;
— be so tight, loose and/or heavy so that it restricts normal movement (see Annex C).
4.4.2 Protective clothing that imposes significant ergonomic burdens such as heat stress, or is
inherently uncomfortable because of the need to provide adequate protection, shall be accompanied
in the information supplied by the manufacturer by specific advice or warnings. Specific advice on the
appropriate duration for continuous use of the clothing in the intended application(s) shall be given.
5 Ageing
5.1 General
This International Standard is concerned only with the dimensional change caused by cleaning on the
performance of the clothing and legibility of marking (see 5.3).
5.2 Washing and dry cleaning
The cleaning shall be in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions, on the basis of standardized
processes. If the number of cleaning cycles is not specified, five cleaning cycles shall be performed. This
shall be reflected in the information supplied by the manufacturer.
Where rapid deterioration in performance is caused by the use of cleaning procedures, the manufacturer,
in the marking and/or in the information, shall indicate the maximum number of cleaning operations
that may be carried out before the protective clothing has to be discarded.
[5]
Manufacturers should typically indicate one or several of the various methods and processes of ISO 6330,
[8]
ISO 15797, ISO 3175 (Parts 2 to 4) [2-3-4] or equivalent standardized processes for cleaning.
NOTE The use of domestic care labels infers their selection according to Annex A of ISO 3758 and that testing
to the appropriate parts of ISO 6330 and ISO 3175 has been carried out.

SIST EN ISO 13688:2013
ISO 13688:2013(E)
5.3 Dimensional change due to cleaning
If the manufacturer’s instructions indicate that garments can be washed or dry cleaned, the test
procedure for dimensional change for washing of protective clothing material shall be carried out in
accordance with 5.2. Measurement of dimensional change shall be carried out according to ISO 5077 and
for dry cleaning in accordance with ISO 3175-1.
Changes in dimension due to cleaning of material for protective clothing shall not exceed ± 3 % for
woven materials and ± 5 % for knitted material and nonwovens in either length or width, unless stated
otherwise in a specific standard.
One sample shall be subjected to five cleaning cycles according to 5.2. If both industrial washing and
domestic washing are permitted, only industrial washing shall be carried out. If the manufacturer
includes instructions for washing or washing and dry-cleaning, the garment shall only be wash tested.
If only dry-cleaning is allowed, the garment shall be dry-cleaned.
6 General size designation
Protective clothing shall be marked with its size based on body dimensions measured in centimetres.
The size designation of each garment shall comprise the control dimensions as given in Table 1.
Exceptions shall be specified in detail in the relevant product standards, e.g. Genital protectors for use
in sports. Measurement procedures and the designation of dimensions shall correspond to ISO 3635, if
not otherwise specified in other product standards (see also Annex D).
The size designation system is required especially for labelling.

SIST EN ISO 13688 : 2013
Predgovor k mednarodnemu standardu
ISO (Mednarodna organizacija za standardizacijo) je svetovna zveza nacionalnih organov za standarde
(članov ISO). Mednarodne standarde po navadi pripravljajo tehnični odbori ISO. Vsak član, ki želi
delovati na določenem področju, za katerega je bil ustanovljen tehnični odbor, ima pravico biti zastopan
v tem odboru. Pri delu sodelujejo tudi mednarodne vladne in nevladne organizacije, povezane z ISO. V
vseh zadevah, ki so povezane s standardizacijo na področju elektrotehnike, ISO tesno sodeluje z
Mednarodno elektrotehniško komisijo (IEC).
Mednarodni standardi so pripravljeni v skladu s pravili iz 2. dela Direktiv ISO/IEC.
Glavna naloga tehničnih odborov je priprava mednarodnih standardov. Osnutki mednarodnih
standardov, ki jih sprejmejo tehnični odbori, se pošljejo vsem članom v glasovanje. Za objavo
mednarodnega standarda je treba pridobiti soglasje najmanj 75 odstotkov članov, ki se udeležijo
glasovanja.
Opozoriti je treba na možnost, da so lahko nekateri elementi tega dokumenta predmet patentnih pravic.
ISO ni odgovoren za ugotavljanje posameznih ali vseh patentnih pravic.
Standard ISO 13688 je pripravil tehnični odbor ISO/TC 94 Osebna varnost – varovalna obleka in
oprema, pododbor SC 13 Varovalna obleka, v sodelovanju s tehničnim odborom CEN/TC 162 Varovalna
obleka, vključno z zaščito za dlani in roke, ter rešilni jopiči.
Ta druga izdaja razveljavlja in nadomešča prvo izdajo (ISO 13688:1998), ki je bila tehnično revidirana
in vsebuje naslednje spremembe:
‒ v področje uporabe tega standarda je bila dodana izjava, da naj bi se ta mednarodni standard (in
piktogram) uporabljal skupaj z drugim standardom za proizvod;
‒ dodani sta definiciji za dolžino od ravnine pasu preko ramena nazaj do ravnine pasu in za trup;
‒ opombe o ravni učinkovitosti so prestavljene v dodatek A;
‒ točka 4 o ergonomiji je spremenjena v osnovne zdravstvene in ergonomske zahteve in revidirana
v posamezne podrazdelke: splošno (4.1), neškodljivost (4.2), načrtovanje (4.3) in udobnost (4.4);
‒ informativnemu dodatku C so dodane ergonomske lastnosti;
‒ podtočka 5.2 o obstojnosti barv je odstranjena;
‒ podtočka 5.3 o čiščenju je preimenovana v "pranje in suho čiščenje" (5.2) ter zdaj vsebuje
sklicevanje na standardizirane procese, vključno z industrijskim pranjem;
‒ določila v podtočki 5.3 o spremembah mer zaradi čiščenja so natančnejša;
‒ sistem označevanja velikosti v točki 6 je poenostavljen glede intervalov in razponov ter dovoljuje
več svobode za boljše posamezno prileganje;
‒ podtočka 7.2 o posebnih oznakah je spremenjena in vključuje kvalifikacijsko označevanje za
industrijsko nego perila;
‒ informativnemu dodatku B (diagram poteka) je dodana sprejemljivost materialov;
‒ informativnemu dodatku F so dodani okoljski vidiki.

4 Osnovne zdravstvene in ergonomske zahteve
4.1 Splošno
V naslednjih odstavkih so navedene nekatere osnovne zdravstvene in ergonomske zahteve, ki so
pomembne za številne vrste varovalnih oblek.
OPOMBA: Za splošna ergonomska načela, ki jih je treba uporabljati pri načrtovanju in določanju osebne varovalne opreme,
glej standard EN 13921.[7]
Varovalne obleke je treba načrtovati in izdelati na naslednji način.
4.2 Neškodljivost
Varovalna obleka ne sme škodljivo vplivati na zdravje ali higieno uporabnika. Materiali v pričakovanih
razmerah običajne uporabe ne smejo sproščati snovi, ki so splošno znano toksične, karcinogene,
mutagene, alergene, toksične za reprodukcijo ali drugače škodljive.
OPOMBA 1: Informacije o razvrščanju in prepoznavanju škodljivih snovi je mogoče najti npr. pod točko [9] v Literaturi.
OPOMBA 2: Navodilo, kako presoditi sprejemljivost materialov v varovalnih oblekah, je podano v diagramu poteka v
informativnem dodatku B (slika B.1).
Naslednji informativni seznam dokumentov služi kot primer dokumentov, ki jih je treba preučiti:
‒ informacije, ki jih zagotovi proizvajalec, lahko vključujejo informacije, pridobljene na podlagi
dokazov, ki potrjujejo, da proizvod ne vsebuje nobenih snovi v količini, za katero je znano ali se
sumi, da škodljivo vpliva na uporabnikovo higieno ali zdravje,
8
---------------------- Page: 12 ----------------------
SIST EN ISO 13688 : 2013
‒ specifikacije materiala,
‒ varnostni listi v zvezi z materiali,
‒ informacije v zvezi s primernostjo materialov za uporabo z živili, v medicinskih pripomočkih ali za
drugo ustrezno uporabo,
‒ informacije v zvezi s toksičnostjo, alergenostjo, karcinogenostjo, toksičnim vplivom na reprodukcijo
ali mutagenskimi preiskavami materiala,
‒ informacije v zvezi z ekotoksikološkimi in drugimi okoljskimi preiskavami materialov.
Materiali naj bodo izbrani tako, da je vpliv na okolje zaradi proizvodnje in odstranjevanja varovalnih
oblačil čim manjši (glej tudi dodatek F).
S pregledom je treba ugotoviti, ali je upravičena trditev, da so materiali primerni za uporabo v varovalnih
oblekah in opremi. Posebno pozornost je treba nameniti prisotnosti mehčal, nereagiranih komponent,
težkih kovin, nečistoč ter kemijski identiteti pigmentov in barvil.
Vsaka plast materiala varovalne obleke mora biti v skladu z naslednjimi zahtevami:
a) vsebnost kroma IV v usnjenih oblačilih ne sme presegati 3 mg/kg po ISO 17075;
b) sproščanje niklja pri vseh kovinskih materialih, ki bi lahko bili dalj časa v stiku s kožo (npr. gumbi,
2
spojniki), mora biti manjše kot 0,5 µg/cm na teden. Preskusna metoda mora biti v skladu z
EN 1811;
c) material varovalne obleke mora imeti vrednost pH večjo od 3,5 in manjšo od 9,5. Preskusna metoda
mora biti za usnje v skladu z ISO 4045, za tekstilije pa v skladu z ISO 3071;
d) azo barvil, ki sproščajo karcinogene amine, navedene v EN 14362-1, ne sme biti mogoče zaznati
z metodo v teh standardih.
4.3 Načrtovanje
4.3.1 Načrtovanje varovalnih oblek mora olajšati pravilen položaj obleke na uporabniku in zagotoviti,
da obleka ostane na mestu v predvidenem obdobju uporabe ob upoštevanju okoljskih dejavnikov ter
morebitnega gibanja in drže nosilca med delom ali drugo dejavnostjo. Zato je treba zagotoviti primerna
sredstva, npr. ustrezna sredstva za prilagajanje ali ustrezne razpone velikosti, da je varovalne obleke
mogoče prilagoditi morfologiji uporabnika (glej dodatek C).
4.3.2 Načrtovanje varovalne obleke mora zagotavljati, da se noben del telesa ne razkrije zaradi
pričakovanih gibov nosilca (npr. delovni jopič naj se ne dvigne nad pas, ko so roke dvignjene), če je tako
opredeljeno v posebnem standardu. Posebni standard za varovalne obleke mora vsebovati preskusna
merila (npr. preverjanje, da je oblačilo mogoče obleči in sleči brez težav; da je mogoče premikati roke
in kolena ter jih upogibati; da se med gibanjem ne pojavijo nezaščiteni deli telesa; da se jopič in hlače
dovolj prekrivajo; da so podatki proizvajalca dovolj podrobni, da je z njimi mogoče ustrezno razložiti
pravilno uporabo varovalne obleke). (Glej dodatek C).
4.3.3 Kjer je to ustrezno, je treba pri načrtovanju varovalne obleke upoštevati druge elemente varovalne
obleke ali opreme istega proizvajalca, ki jih je treba nositi za celovito zaščito. Kadar je treba nositi dva
elementa ali več, naj bodo ti združljivi in vsak posebej mora biti v skladu s svojim standardom. Noben
element ne sme zmanjšati učinkovitosti drugega(-ih) elementa(-ov) in zagotovljena naj bo ustrezna
stopnja zaščite na stičnih območjih teh izdelkov, na primer med rokavom in rokavico, hlačami in obutvijo,
masko in respiratorjem. Mogoče so lahko tudi druge kombinacije.
4.3.4 V vsakem posebnem standardu je treba opredeliti minimalne mehanske lastnosti za oceno
trdnosti oblačila.
9
---------------------- Page: 13 ----------------------
SIST EN ISO 13688 : 2013
4.4 Udobnost
4.4.1 Varovalne obleke morajo uporabnikom zagotavljati določeno raven udobnosti, ki je skladna s
stopnjo zaščite, potrebno za prisotno nevarnost, okoljskimi razmerami, ravnjo uporabnikove dejavnosti
in pričakovanim trajanjem uporabe varovalne obleke.
Varovalne obleke ne smejo:
‒ imeti grobih, ostrih ali trdih površin, ki dražijo ali poškodujejo uporabnika,
‒ biti tako ozke, ohlapne in/ali težke, da omejujejo normalno gibanje (glej dodatek C).
4.4.2 Za varovalne obleke, ki jih narekujejo znatne ergonomske obremenitve, kot je izpostavljenost
vročini, ali imajo neudoben kroj zaradi zagotavljanja ustreznega varovanja, morajo biti v priloženih
informacijah, ki jih zagotovi proizvajalec, navedeni posebni nasveti ali opozorila. Podati je treba
konkretne nasvete, koliko časa lahko traja nošenje oblek pri neprekinjeni in predvideni uporabi.
5 Staranje
5.1 Splošno
Ta mednarodni standard obravnava samo spremembe mer zaradi čiščenja, ki vplivajo na učinkovitost
obleke in čitljivost oznak (glej 5.3).
5.2 Pranje in suho čiščenje
Čiščenje mora biti v skladu z navodili proizvajalca in mora temeljiti na standardiziranih procesih. Če
število čistilnih ciklov ni določeno, jih je treba izvesti pet. To mora biti navedeno v informacijah, ki jih
zagotovi proizvajalec.
Če se zaradi postopkov čiščenja hitro slabša učinkovitost, mora proizvajalec na oznakah in/ali v
informacijah navesti največje število čistilnih postopkov, ki se lahko opravijo, preden je varovalno obleko
treba zavreči.
Proizvajalci navadno navedejo eno ali več metod in postopkov iz ISO 6330,[5] ISO 15797,[8] ISO 3175
(2.–4. del) [2-3-4] ali ustrezne standardizirane procese čiščenja.
OPOMBA: Uporaba označb za gospodinjsko nego kaže izbiro v skladu z dodatkom A standarda ISO 3758 in da je bilo
opravljeno preskušanje v skladu z ustreznimi deli standardov ISO 6330 in ISO 3175.
5.3 Spremembe mer zaradi čiščenja
Če je v navodilih proizvajalca navedeno, da je oblačila mogoče prati ali čistiti s suhim čiščenjem, se
preskusni postopek za spremembe mer pri pranju materiala varovalnih oblek opravi v skladu s točko
5.2. Meritve sprememb mer je treba izvesti v skladu z ISO 5077, za suho čiščenje pa v skladu z ISO
3175-1.
Spremembe mer materiala varovalnih oblek zaradi čiščenja ne smejo presegati ±3 % pri tkanih
materialih ter ±5 % pri pletenih in netkanih materialih tako pri dolžini kot širini, razen če je tako navedeno
v določenem standardu.
En vzorec je treba izpostaviti petim čistilnim ciklom v skladu s točko 5.2. Če sta dovoljeni tako
industrijsko kot gospodinjsko pranje, je treba opraviti samo industrijsko pranje. Če proizvajalec poda
navodila za pranje ali pranje in suho čiščenje, je treba oblačilo preskusiti samo s pranjem. Če je
dovoljeno samo suho čiščenje, je oblačilo treba očistiti s suhim čiščenjem.

SIST EN ISO 13688 : 2013
6 Splošno označevanje velikosti
Varovalno obleko je treba označiti z njeno velikostjo glede na telesne mere, izmerjene v centimetrih.
Označevanje velikosti vsakega oblačila je sestavljeno iz kontrolnih mer, podanih v preglednici 1. Izjeme
je treba podrobno določiti v ustreznih standardih za proizvod, npr. varovala spolovil za uporabo pri
športu. Merilni postopki in označevanje mer morajo biti v skladu z ISO 3635, če ni v drugih standardih
za proizvod določeno drugače (glej tudi dodatek D).
Sistem označevanja velikosti je še zlasti zahtevan za označbe.
Razponi, navedeni v dodatku D, niso nujno standardizirani (prilagodljiv pristop).

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.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards
adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an
International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
ISO 13688 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 94, Personal safety -- Protective clothing and
equipment, Subcommittee SC 13, Protective clothing.
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (ISO 13688:1998), which has been technically
revised. [Add reference to BT resolution 2-2003]
This European Standard has been prepared under a mandate given to CEN by the European Commission
and the European Free Trade Association, to support Essential Requirements of EU Directive 89/686/EEC
For relationship with the EU directive, see informative Annex ZA which is an integral part of this document.

Introduction
This International Standard is a reference standard to be called up as appropriate by specific standards. This
standard cannot be used alone but only in combination with another standard containing requirements for
specific performance of a product in providing protection. If specific requirements are needed, they should be
specified in the appropriate standard for those products.
The revision led to the following main changes in this new standard edition:
⎯ A statement that this standard can only be used in combination with an other product standard was
added to the scope
⎯ Normative references were updated
⎯ The size designation system in clause 6 was simplified with regard to intervals and ranges to allow
more freedom to obtain a better individual fit
⎯ Annex C was made normative to introduce practical performance tests as a general requirement, if
no such tests are specified in the relevant product standards
⎯ Bibliographic references were updated
⎯ Innocuousness of components

3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply.
3.1
Ageing
change of one or more initial properties of protective clothing materials during the passage of time
NOTE This statement only refers to laboratory values and does not give indications for the actual time of use.
3.2
Hazard
situation which can be the cause of harm or damage to the health of the human body
NOTE There are different general types of hazards, e. g. mechanical hazards, chemical hazards, cold hazards, heat
and/or fire hazards, biological agents hazards, radiation hazards.
Certain of these types of hazards can, according to circumstances, derive from more specific hazards. Thus, a heat
hazard can derive from contact heat, radiant heat etc. for each of which there can be separate test methods.
Particular garments have been designed to give protection against the hazards encountered in specific types of work.
Examples of such garments are aprons that provide protection against hand knives, trousers for use with chainsaws, clothing
for protection against chemicals, high visibility clothing and motorcycle rider's protective clothing.
3.3
Risk
combination of the frequency, or probability, of occurrence and the consequence of a specified hazardous event
NOTE The concept of risk always has two elements: the frequency or probability with which a hazardous event
occurs and the consequences of the hazardous event [2].
3.4
Performance level
number that designates a particular category or range of performance by which the results of testing can be
graded
NOTE For further information see Annex A.
3.5
Protective clothing
clothing including protectors which cover or replace personal clothing, and which is designed to provide
protection against one or more hazards
3.6
Waist to waist over the shoulder lengh
maximum length measured from the plane of the waist over the shoulder to the plane of the waist

Thorax and abdomen or section of the body to which the limbs head and neck are attached.
4 Basic health and ergonomic requirements
4.1 General
In the following paragraphs some basic health and ergonomic requirements are stated that are relevant for many
types of protective clothing.
NOTE For general ergonomic principles to be used in designing and specifying personal protective equipment see
EN 13921.
Protective clothing shall be designed and manufactured as follows.
4.2 Innocuousness
Protective clothing shall not adversely affect the health or hygiene of the user. The materials shall not, in the
foreseeable conditions of normal use, release substances generally known to be toxic, carcinogenic,
mutagenic, allergenic, toxic to reproduction or otherwise harmful.
NOTE 1 Information on the classification and identification of harmful substances can be found e.g. in [5, 6]
of the Bibliography.
NOTE 2 Guidance on how to consider acceptability of materials in protective clothing is given in informative
Annex B (flow chart).
The following list of documents is given for information and as examples of documents to be examined:
a) Information supplied by the manufacturer could include a declaration confirming that the product does not
contain any substances at levels that are known or suspected to adversely affect user hygiene or health,
b) Materials specifications,
c) Safety data sheets relating to the materials,
d) Information relating to the suitability of the materials for use with food, in medical devices, or other
relevant applications.
e) Information relating to toxicological, allergenic, carcinogenic, toxic to reproduction or mutagenic
investigations on the materials,
f) Information relating to ecotoxicological and other environmental investigations on the materials,
NOTE 3 Materials should be selected to minimise the environmental impact of the production and disposal of protective
clothing (see also Annex F).
The examination, in combination with the following requirements in 4.2, shall determine whether the claim that
the materials are suitable for use in the protective clothing or protective equipment is justified. Particular
attention has to be paid to the presence of plasticisers, unreacted components, heavy metals, impurities and
the chemical identity of pigments and dyes.
Each layer of material of the protective clothing shall comply with the following requirements:
a) Chromium VI content in leather clothing shall be less than 3 mg/kg according to ISO 17075:2007.
© ISO 2011 – All rights reserved 3
---------------------- Page: 15 ----------------------
oSIST prEN ISO 13688:2011
ISO/DIS 13688
b) All metallic materials which could come into prolonged contact with the skin (e.g. studs, fittings) shall have
an release of nickel of less than 0,5 µg/cm² per week. The method of test shall be according to EN 1811.
c) Protective clothing material shall be greater than pH3,5 and less than pH9,5. The test method for leather
shall be according to ISO 4045 and for textile materials according to ISO 3071.
d) Azo colorants which release carcinogenic amines listed in EN 14362-1 and EN 14362-2 shall not be
detectable by the method in these standards.
4.3 Design
4.3.1 The design of protective clothing shall facilitate its correct positioning on the user and shall ensure
that it remains in place for the foreseeable period of use, taking into account ambient factors, together with the
movements and postures that the wearer could adopt during the course of work or other activity. For this
purpose, appropriate means, such as adequate adjustment systems or adequate size ranges shall be
provided so as to enable protective clothing to be adapted to the morphology of the user.
4.3.2 The design of protective clothing shall ensure that no parts of the body get uncovered by expected
movements by the wearer (e.g. a jacket should not rise above the waist when the arms are raised) if this is
defined in the specific standard. The specific standard for protective clothing shall contain test criteria (for
example: checking that the garment can be put on and taken off easily; that arm and knee and bending
movements are possible; that unprotected body areas do not appear during movements; that there is an
adequate overlap of jacket and trousers; that the manufacturers information is adequate to explain the correct
usage of the protective clothing (see Annex C)).
4.3.3 Where applicable, protective clothing design should take into account other items of protective
clothing or equipment which must be worn to form an overall protective ensemble. The appropriate level of
protection should be provided at interface areas between products of the same manufacturer for example in
sleeve to glove, trouser to footwear, hood and respirator combinations; there may be other combinations.
4.3.4 In each specific standard a minimum mechanical property to assess the strength of a garment shall
be defined.
4.3.5 If required in the specific standard the mass shall be given for all sizes of the garment in the
information supplied by the manufacturer or the marking. The mass shall be given for a garment at 20°C,
65% R.H. and in new condition; the mass tolerance or range shall be defined in the specific standard. The
mass of one garment size shall be measured to check the mass indication in the information of the
manufacturer or the marking.
NOTE 1 A lower mass will not always be beneficial; however, protective clothing should be as light as possible taking
into account comfort, water vapour resistance, design and protection level.
4.4 Comfort
4.4.1 Protective clothing shall provide users with a level of comfort consistent with the level of protection
against hazard which is provided, the ambient conditions, the level of the user’s activity, and the anticipated
duration of use of the protective clothing.
If the specific product standards do not contain practical performance requirements for particular types of
protective clothing and methods for its assessment, (e.g. assessment by manual inspection, visual inspection
or wearer trial), then Annex C is applicable.
Protective clothing shall not
⎯ have rough, sharp or hard surfaces that irritate or injure the user;
⎯ be so tight, loose and/or heavy so that it restricts normal movement (see Annex C).

ISO/DIS 13688
4.4.2 Where permissible, protective clothing shall be made of materials with low water vapour resistance
and/or high air permeability and/or shall be sufficiently ventilated to minimise discomfort and thermal stress. In
these cases test method(s) and requirement(s) for water vapour resistance of materials or clothing, air
permeability of materials or ventilation of clothing shall be specified in the specific standard.
NOTE 1 An international test method is standardised in ISO 11092 [1].
NOTE 2 For other purposes e.g. quality supervision a different reproducible method may be applied to test the water
vapour permeability for use other than classification or testing to meet specified values as laid down in related standards.
4.4.3 Protective clothing that imposes significant ergonomic burdens such as heat stress, or is inherently
uncomfortable because of the need to provide adequate protection, should be accompanied in the information
supplied by the manufacturer by specific advice or warnings. Specific advice on the appropriate duration for
continuous use of the clothing in the intended application(s) should be given.
5 Ageing
5.1 General
This standard is concerned only with the detrimental effects of colour alteration and/or dimensional change
caused by light or cleaning on the performance and legibility of marking (see 5.2 to 5.4).
5.2 Colour fastness
If the specific standard contains requirements for colour fastness, protective clothing shall be tested in
accordance with the relevant part of ISO 105 (for example ISO 105-B02, colour fastness to artificial light: Xenon
arc fading lamp test).
5.3 Washing and dry cleaning methods
The cleaning shall be in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions, on the basis of standardized
processes. If the number of cleaning cycles is not specified, five cleaning cycles shall be performed. This shall
be reflected in the information supplied by the manufacturer.
NOTE Manufacturer’s instructions typically indicate one or several of the various methods and processes of ISO
6330, ISO 15797, ISO 3175 (parts 2-4) or equivalent as standardized processes for cleaning.
5.4 Dimensional change due to cleaning
If the manufacturer's instructions indicate that garments can be washed or dry cleaned, the test procedure for
dimensional change for washing of protective clothing material shall be carried out in accordance with 5.3.
Measurement of dimensional change shall be carried out according to ISO 5077 and for dry cleaning in
accordance with ISO 3175-1.
Changes in dimension due to cleaning of material for protective clothing shall not exceed ± 3% for woven
materials and ± 5% for knitted material in either length or width, unless stated otherwise in a specific standard.
One sample shall be subjected to 5 cleaning cycles according to 5.3. If both industrial washing and domestic
washing are permitted, only industrial washing shall be carried out. If both washing and dry
