Ehdotuksen tiedot

This document specifies the chemical performance classification and test methods for materials used in chemical protective clothing, including gloves and footwear. The gloves and footwear shall have the same minimum chemical (including solids, airborne particles, aerosols, liquids, and gases (including radioactive contaminants)) protective barrier requirements as the fabric when they are an integral part of the clothing. While these performance levels are intended to relate to the usage to which the chemical protective clothing is to be put, it is essential that the chemical protective clothing manufacturer or supplier indicate the intended use of the protective clothing and that the user (specifier) carries out a risk assessment in order to establish the correct performance level for the intended task.
