EN 13034:2005+A1:2009 (E) 3 Foreword This document (EN 13034:2005+A1:2009) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 162 “Protective clothing including hand and arm protection and lifejackets”, the secretariat of which is held by DIN. This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by November 2009, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the latest by November 2009. This document includes Amendment 1, approved by CEN on 2009-04-05. This document supersedes EN 13034:2005. The start and finish of text introduced or altered by amendment is indicated in the text by tags !". This document has been prepared under a mandate given to CEN by the European Commission and the European Free Trade Association, and supports essential requirements of EU Directive 89/686/EEC. For relationship with EU Directive(s), see informative Annex ZA, which is an integral part of this document. According to the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organizations of the following countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and United Kingdom.

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
EN 13034:2005+A1:2009 (E) 5 1 Scope 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). 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document.

Several garments may be combined to provide the desired level of protection 3.8 partial body protection protective clothing item worn to protect one or more parts of the body, which are particularly exposed to the risk. Partial body protection may be used separately or in combination with other garments to increase the protection level of specific parts of the body. Examples of partial body protection are sleeves, aprons and laboratory coats 3.9 limited use protective clothing clothing intended for limited wear life usage (single use or limited re-use according to the manufacturer's instructions), i.e. to be worn until hygienic cleaning becomes necessary or until disposal is required after chemical contamination 3.10 re-usable chemical protective clothing clothing intended to be re-used after the necessary reprocessing steps, such as e.g. hygienic cleaning, decontamination, or reapplication of repellent treatments, whilst still providing adequate protection 3.11 penetration process by which chemicals and/or micro-organisms move through porous materials, seams, pinholes and other imperfections of a material on a non-molecular level 4 Performance requirements for materials, seams joins and assemblages 4.1 Materials Chemical protective clothing materials shall be tested and classified in accordance with Table 1 (see also EN 14325:2004, Clause 4). If not otherwise specified in the test methods, at least five specimens shall be tested for each property. The lowest individual value shall be calculated and used to describe the performance level.
