This standard specifies requirements and test methods for re-usable and limited use protective clothing providing protection against infective agents. Clothing worn by surgical teams or drapes laid on patients to prevent cross-contamination during surgical interventions, are not covered by the scope of this standard.

This European Standard specifies a test method designed to evaluate the behaviour of materials used for protective clothing when such materials are struck by small liquid metal splashes, especially when molten steel particles are projected against the material.    It applies to any pliable material, or assembly of materials, designed to protect workers against small splashes of molten metal.  The results obtained by this method enable the behaviour of different materials which have undergone this test under standardized conditions to be compared. They do not permit conclusions with respect to contacts with large splashes of molten cast iron or other metal to be drawn, neither will they allow the behaviour of complete garments under industrial conditions to be predicted.

This European Standard specifies requirements and test methods for performance of clothing ensembles (i.e. two piece suits or coveralls) and of single garments for protection against cold environment.
It does not include specific requirements for head wear, footwear and gloves intended to prevent local cooling.

This European Standard specifies a method for comparing the heat transmission through materials or material assemblies used in protective clothing. Materials are ranked by calculation of a Heat Transfer Index, which is an indication of the relative protection under the specified test conditions. The Heat Transfer Index should not be taken as a measure of the protection time given by the tested materials under actual use conditions.

This International Standard specifies a method for the measurement of limited flame spread properties of vertically oriented textile fabrics and industrial products in the form of single or multi-component fabrics (coated, quilted, multilayered, sandwich constructions, and similar combinations), when subjected to a small defined flame.
This test method is not appropriate for materials that demonstrate extensive melting or shrinkage.

This European Standard specifies the requirements and test methods for ventilated protective clothing protecting the wearer against particulate radio-active contamination. This European Standard does not apply for the protection against ionizing radiation and the protection of patients against contamination with radioactive substances by diagnostical and/or therapeutical measures.

This European Standard specifies a test method for the determination of the contact heat transmission. It is applicable to protective clothing (including hand protectors) or its constituent materials intended to protect against high contact temperatures. The application of the standard is restricted to contact temperatures from 100 oC to 500 oC.

This European Standard is applicable to protective clothing for workers exposed to heat. The clothing consists of outer garments made from flexible material to protect specific parts of the body. Hoods and gaiters are included but all other types of protection for the head, hands and feet are excluded. This European Standard specifies the performance requirements and methods of test for the protective clothing materials and gives design recommendations for the clothing where necessary.

This European Standard is applicable to protective clothing for  workers exposed to heat. The clothing consists of outer garments made from flexible material to protect specific parts of the body. Hoods and gaiters are included but all other types of protection for the head, hands and feet are excluded.  This European Standard specifies the performance requirements and methods of test for the protective clothing materials and gives design recommendations for the clothing where necessary.  Protective clothing complying with this European Standard is intended to protect workers against brief contact with flame and against at least one type of heat. The heat may be in the form of convective heat, radiant heat, large molten metal splahes, or a combination of these heat hazards.  1. Scope was modified by Amendment A1:1998

This European Standard specifies requirements for protective clothing capable of signalling the user's presence visually, intended to provide conspicuity of the user in hazardous situations under any light conditions by day and under illumination by vehicle headlights in the dark.
Performance requirements are included for colour and retroreflection as well as for the minimum areas and for the disposition of the materials in protective clothing.

This part of this European Standard specifies test methods and performance requirements for protective clothing for operators engaged in welding and allied processes with comparable risks.   This type of protective clothing is intended to protect the wearer against small splashes of molten metal, short contact time with flame, and ultraviolet radiation, and to be worn continuously for up to 8 h at ambient temperature.  Additional requirements, which apply to certain specific types of welding operations, will be included in subsequent parts of this standard.

This European Standard specifies requirements and test methods applicable to materials and seams of protective clothing against the influence of precipitation (e. g. rain, snowflakes), fog and ground humidity.
The testing of rain proofness of ready made garments is excluded in this standard at this time because a separate test method for such a property is currently being prepared.

This standard specifies a method for assessing the resistance of materials used in protective clothing to molten metal splash. It is important to note that good resistance of a material to a pure molten metal does not guarantee a good performance against any slag that might be present in a manufacturing process.
