DIN EN ISO 13982-1:2004+A1:2010: Protective clothing against solid particles - Part 1: Performance requirements for chemical protective clothing providing full body protection against airborne solid particles
(Type 5 clothing)
Scope of application
This standard specifies the minimum requirements for particle-dense chemical protective coveralls that are resistant to the penetration of suspended solid particles (Type 5). These garments are full body protective garments, such as one-piece coveralls or two-piece suits, with or without a bonnet or visor, with or without foot protection. This part of EN ISO 13982 applies only to suspended solid particles.
Performance requirements for material
Materials for chemical protective clothing must be tested according to the following requirements and in accordance with the test methods specified in EN 14325.Performance level 1 must be achieved for all requirements. If resistance to heat and flame is required, samples shall be tested in accordance with EN 13274-4:2001.
Section in EN14325:2004 | Performance requirements | Minimum power level |
4. 4 | Abrasion resistance | 1 |
4. 5 | Bending crack resistance | 1 |
4. 7 | Tear resistance | 1 |
4.10 | Piercing resistance | 1 |
Performance requirement for seams, joints and bracing
Resistance to penetration by solid particles
Seams shall be designed to minimise or prevent penetration of solid particles through stitch holes or through other components of the seam.
Seam strength
Performance shall be graded in accordance with EN 14325:2004, 5.5 (Table 13) indicated performance levels. A minimum strength of performance level 1 shall be achieved for seams.
Requirement for the whole coverall
- Type 5 chemical protective coveralls must meet the requirements of EN340 (general for protective clothing).
- Inward leakage of solid particle aerosols: Protective coveralls shall be tested for inward leakage of solid particle aerosols in accordance with the procedure described in ISO 13982- 2. The test is carried out by test persons.
