BS EN 13034:2005+A1:2009 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 ISO 17491-4", 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).
