Protective clothing against liquid chemicals - Performance requirements for chemical protective clothing offering limited protective performance against liquid chemicals (Type 6 and Type PB [6] equipment)

This document specifies the minimum requirements for limited use and re-useable limited performance chemical protective clothing. Limited performance chemical protective clothing is intended for use in cases of a potential exposure to a light spray, liquid aerosols or low pressure, low volume splashes, against which a complete liquid permeation barrier (at the molecular level) is not required.
This document covers both chemical protective suits (Type 6) and partial body protection (Type PB [6]).
Chemical protective suits (Type 6) cover and protect at least the trunk and the limbs, e.g. one-piece coveralls or two piece suits, with or without hood, boot-socks or boot-covers. This document specifies minimum requirements for the connections between different parts of Type 6 suits by the use of a reduced whole suit spray test using a variant of EN 468, as described in 5.2.
Partial body protection of similar limited performance (Type PB [6]) covers and protects only specific parts of the body, e.g. coats, aprons, sleeves etc. They should not be tested to the whole suit test (5.2).

Schutzkleidung gegen flüssige Chemikalien - Leistungsanforderungen an Chemikalienschutzkleidung mit eingeschränkter Schutzleistung gegen flüssige Chemikalien (Ausrüstung Typ 6 und Typ PB [6])

Dieses Dokument legt die Mindestanforderungen an Chemikalienschutzkleidung mit eingeschränkter Schutzwirkung
einschließlich wiederverwendbarer Schutzkleidung fest. Chemikalienschutzkleidung mit eingeschränkter
Schutzwirkung ist für die Verwendung in Fällen einer möglichen Exposition gegenüber leichter
Chemikalienversprühung, flüssigen Aerosolen oder mit niedrigem Druck auftreffenden Spritzern geeignet,
gegen die eine vollständige Barriere gegen Flüssigkeitspermeation (auf molekularer Ebene) nicht erforderlich
ist.
Dieses Dokument gilt für beide, die Chemikalienschutzbekleidungen (Typ 6) und den Teilkörperschutz
(Typ PB [6]).
Chemikalienschutzanzüge (Typ 6) bedecken und schützen mindestens den Rumpf und die Lenden, z. B.
einteilige Overalls und zweiteilige Anzüge mit oder ohne Haube, mit oder ohne Füßlinge oder Überschuhe.
Dieses Dokument legt auch die Mindestanforderungen für die Verbindungen zwischen den verschiedenen
Teilen von Typ-6-Anzügen durch Anwendung eines abgeschwächten Spray-Tests für den ganzen Anzug
mittels einer Variante von !EN ISO 17491-4" fest, wie in 5.2 beschrieben.
Teilweiser Körperschutz mit ähnlicher eingeschränkter Schutzwirkung (Typ PB [6]) bedeckt und schützt nur
einen Teil des Körpers, wie z. B. Kittel oder Schürzen, Ärmel usw. Sie sollten jedoch nicht mit dem Test für
den ganzen Anzug (5.2) geprüft werden.

Vêtements de protection contre les produits chimiques liquides - Exigences relatives aux vêtements de protection chimique offrant une protection limitée contre les produits chimiques liquides (équipement de type 6)

La présente Norme européenne spécifie les exigences minimales relatives aux vêtements de protection chimique
à usage limité ou réutilisables offrant une protection limitée. Les vêtements de protection chimique à usage limité sont
conçus pour être utilisés en cas d’exposition probable à de légères pulvérisations, aux aérosols liquides ou à basse
pression, de légères éclaboussures, contre lesquels une barrière totale contre la perméation des liquides (au niveau
moléculaire) n’est pas nécessaire.
La présente norme européenne couvre à la fois les combinaisons de protection chimique (Type 6) et les articles
ne couvrant qu’une partie du corps (Type PB [6]).
Les combinaisons de protection (Type 6) couvrent et protègent au moins le tronc et les membres, comme
par exemple les combinaisons une pièce ou deux-pièces, avec ou sans capuche, bottes ou sur-bottes. La présente
Norme européenne spécifie les exigences minimales pour les jonctions entre les différentes parties
des combinaisons de Type 6 par la réalisation d’un essai au brouillard réduit sur la combinaison complète utilisant
une variante de l’!EN ISO 17491-4", comme décrit en 5.2.
Les vêtements de protection couvrant partiellement le corps et offrant une performance limitée similaire (Type PB [6]),
couvrent et protègent des parties spécifiques du corps, comme par exemple vestes, tabliers, manches, etc. Ils ne
doivent pas être soumis à l'essai de la combinaison complète (5.2).

EN 13034:2005+A1:2009 (E) 4 Introduction Protection should be proportional to the risk to avoid excessive discomfort due to overprotection. The categorisation into types of chemical protective clothing is an attempt to discriminate between different general levels of risk. The determination of the actual risk level should follow from a risk assessment, which takes all relevant parameters into account, e.g. the nature of the chemical, temperature, pressure, quantity, parts of the body likely to be exposed, climatic conditions, intensity of work etc. This risk assessment will give important indications about suitable types of materials, clothing design and composition of the most effective solution, e.g. combination with other types of PPE or other items of chemical protective clothing. Type 6 and PB [6] are intended to be used in cases where risk has been assessed as low and a full liquid permeation barrier is not necessary, i.e. when wearers are able to take timely adequate action when their clothing is contaminated. Type 6 and PB [6] protective clothing form the lowest level of chemical protection and are intended to protect from a potential exposure to small quantities of spray or accidental low volume splashes. A technical report to give guidance on questions pertaining to selection, use, care and maintenance is currently under development. SIST EN 13034:2005+A1:2009
