Foreword
This document (prEN 13832-3:2010) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 161 “Foot and leg
protectors”, the secretariat of which is held by BSI.
This document is currently submitted to the CEN Enquiry.
This document will supersede EN 13832-3:2006.
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(s).
For relationship with EU Directive(s), see informative Annex ZA, which is an integral part of this document.
EN 13832, Footwear protecting against chemicals, is published in 3 parts

The applicability of a requirement to a particular classification is indicated in the table by the following.
X indicates that the requirement shall be met. In some cases the requirement relates only to particular materials
within the classification, e.g. pH value of leather components. This does not mean that other materials are
precluded from use.
O indicates that if the component part exists, the requirement shall be met.

NOTE The absence of X or O indicates that no requirement is made.
