Protective clothing against liquid chemicals - Performance requirements for chemical protective clothing offering limited protective performance against liquid chemicals (Type 6 and Type PB [6] equipment)
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 468, 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).
Schutzkleidung gegen flüssige Chemikalien - Leistungsanforderungen an Chemikalienschutzkleidung mit eingeschränkter Schutzleistung gegen flüssige Chemikalien (Ausrüstung Typ 6 und Typ PB [6])
Dieses Dokument legt die Mindestanforderungen an Chemikalienschutzkleidung mit eingeschränkter Schutzwirkung
einschließlich wiederverwendbarer Schutzkleidung fest. Chemikalienschutzkleidung mit eingeschränkter
Schutzwirkung ist für die Verwendung in Fällen einer möglichen Exposition gegenüber leichter
Chemikalienversprühung, flüssigen Aerosolen oder mit niedrigem Druck auftreffenden Spritzern geeignet,
gegen die eine vollständige Barriere gegen Flüssigkeitspermeation (auf molekularer Ebene) nicht erforderlich
ist.
Dieses Dokument gilt für beide, die Chemikalienschutzbekleidungen (Typ 6) und den Teilkörperschutz
(Typ PB [6]).
Chemikalienschutzanzüge (Typ 6) bedecken und schützen mindestens den Rumpf und die Lenden, z. B.
einteilige Overalls und zweiteilige Anzüge mit oder ohne Haube, mit oder ohne Füßlinge oder Überschuhe.
Dieses Dokument legt auch die Mindestanforderungen für die Verbindungen zwischen den verschiedenen
Teilen von Typ-6-Anzügen durch Anwendung eines abgeschwächten Spray-Tests für den ganzen Anzug
mittels einer Variante von !EN ISO 17491-4" fest, wie in 5.2 beschrieben.
Teilweiser Körperschutz mit ähnlicher eingeschränkter Schutzwirkung (Typ PB [6]) bedeckt und schützt nur
einen Teil des Körpers, wie z. B. Kittel oder Schürzen, Ärmel usw. Sie sollten jedoch nicht mit dem Test für
den ganzen Anzug (5.2) geprüft werden.
Vêtements de protection contre les produits chimiques liquides - Exigences relatives aux vêtements de protection chimique offrant une protection limitée contre les produits chimiques liquides (équipement de Type 6 et du Type PB [6])
La présente Norme européenne spécifie les exigences minimales relatives aux vêtements de protection chimique
à usage limité ou réutilisables offrant une protection limitée. Les vêtements de protection chimique à usage limité sont
conçus pour être utilisés en cas d’exposition probable à de légères pulvérisations, aux aérosols liquides ou à basse
pression, de légères éclaboussures, contre lesquels une barrière totale contre la perméation des liquides (au niveau
moléculaire) n’est pas nécessaire.
La présente norme européenne couvre à la fois les combinaisons de protection chimique (Type 6) et les articles
ne couvrant qu’une partie du corps (Type PB [6]).
Les combinaisons de protection (Type 6) couvrent et protègent au moins le tronc et les membres, comme
par exemple les combinaisons une pièce ou deux-pièces, avec ou sans capuche, bottes ou sur-bottes. La présente
Norme européenne spécifie les exigences minimales pour les jonctions entre les différentes parties
des combinaisons de Type 6 par la réalisation d’un essai au brouillard réduit sur la combinaison complète utilisant
une variante de l’!EN ISO 17491-4", comme décrit en 5.2.
Les vêtements de protection couvrant partiellement le corps et offrant une performance limitée similaire (Type PB [6]),
couvrent et protègent des parties spécifiques du corps, comme par exemple vestes, tabliers, manches, etc. Ils ne
doivent pas être soumis à l'essai de la combinaison complète (5.2).

Overview
EN 13034:2005+A1:2009 is the CEN European standard that sets minimum performance requirements for chemical protective clothing offering limited protective performance against liquid chemicals - commonly referred to as Type 6 (whole suits) and Type PB[6] (partial body protection). The standard covers single‑use and re‑usable garments intended for protection from light spray, liquid aerosols or low‑pressure, low‑volume splashes where a complete molecular permeation barrier is not required.
Key topics and technical requirements
- Scope and garment types
- Type 6: suits that cover at least the trunk and limbs (one‑piece coveralls, two‑piece suits), with or without hood, boot‑socks or boot‑covers.
- Type PB[6]: partial body items (aprons, sleeves, coats) - not subject to the whole‑suit spray test.
- Material performance (referenced tests from EN 14325)
- Abrasion, tear, tensile and puncture resistance
- Liquid repellency: minimum performance level 3 for at least one test chemical
- Resistance to liquid penetration: minimum performance level 2 for at least one test chemical
- Materials must not cause skin irritation and manufacturers’ cleaning/reuse instructions apply.
- Seams, joins and assemblages
- Seams must prevent liquid penetration and allow run‑off.
- Seam strength tested per EN ISO 13935‑2; minimum class 1 seam performance.
- Whole‑suit spray (mist) test
- Type 6 suits are tested using a reduced whole‑suit spray method (variant of EN ISO 17491‑4) after a practical “seven movements” sequence executed by a human subject to simulate realistic wear and movement.
- Three suits are tested after preconditioning/cleaning (if applicable).
- Marking and manufacturer information
- Requirements include care, cleaning limits (if none specified, five cleaning cycles are applied for testing), and instructions about combining with other PPE.
Applications and users
EN 13034 is intended for situations with a low risk of chemical exposure: protection from light sprays, mists, aerosols or accidental small splashes. Typical users and stakeholders:
- PPE manufacturers and designers validating Type 6 / PB[6] garments
- Occupational health & safety managers and procurement teams selecting appropriate chemical protective clothing
- Test laboratories performing EN 14325 / EN ISO 17491‑4 based evaluations
- Employers in laboratories, maintenance, light chemical handling and other low‑exposure environments conducting risk assessments
Related standards
- EN 14325 (test methods and classification for chemical protective materials)
- EN ISO 17491‑4 (spray/mist penetration test - variant used)
- EN ISO 13935‑2 (seam tensile testing)
- EN 340 (general protective clothing requirements)
- EN 23758 (care labelling)
- Links to EU Directive 89/686/EEC (noted in annex for legal relationship)
EN 13034 helps balance wearer comfort and adequate protection for low‑hazard tasks by defining practical, testable limits for limited‑performance chemical protective clothing.

This article discusses the requirements for limited use and re-useable limited performance chemical protective clothing, as specified in the EN 13034:2005+A1:2009 standard. This standard is applicable to protective clothing that offers limited protection against liquid chemicals, such as light sprays, liquid aerosols, and low pressure splashes. It covers both chemical protective suits (Type 6) and partial body protection (Type PB [6]). Chemical protective suits cover and protect the trunk and limbs, while partial body protection covers specific body parts. The article emphasizes that partial body protection should not be tested using the whole suit test specified in the standard.
