Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies
(ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO
technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been
established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and
non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the
International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards
adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an
International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
ISO 9185 was prepared by the European Committee for Standardization (CEN) Technical Committee
CEN/TC 162, Protective clothing including hand and arm protection and lifejackets, in collaboration with
Technical Committee ISO/TC 94, Personal safety — Protective clothing and equipment, Subcommittee SC 13,
Protective clothing, in accordance with the Agreement on technical cooperation between ISO and CEN
(Vienna Agreement).
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (ISO 9185:1990), which has been technically revised.
This second edition includes the following significant technical changes compared to the first edition:
a) new PVC sensor film included;
b) Cryolite included as test metal.

ISO 9185:2007(E)
Introduction
ISO 9185:1990 and EN 373:1995 have been used up until now with reasonable success as the principle test
methods for materials used in the manufacture of clothing to protect against large splashes of molten metals.
EN and ISO specifications cite these test methods and set levels of performance in terms of the mass of iron
or aluminium that can be splashed onto test materials without producing damage to the heat sensor film.
The revision of the test methods contained within this International Standard incorporates changes based on
experience that are intended to improve reproducibility and to respond to incident data from the aluminium
smelter industry. A test procedure is therefore introduced to determine the protection provided by materials
when splashed with molten cryolite. This revision also harmonises into one test procedure the previously
slightly different procedures in ISO 9185 and EN 373 for testing with molten aluminium.
A new supply of PVC sensor film has been established together with a new world-wide distributor – see note
in the text. One single specification for PVC film replaces the previously different ones in ISO 9185 and
EN 373.
The test method in this International Standard is distinct from that in ISO 9150, which assesses the protective
performance of materials intended to be manufactured into protective clothing for welding activities.

Protective clothing — Assessment of resistance of materials to
molten metal splash
1 Scope
This International Standard specifies a method for assessing the heat penetration resistance of materials
intended for use in clothing to protect against large splashes of molten metal. It provides specific procedures
for assessing the effects of splashes of molten aluminium, molten cryolite, molten copper, molten iron and
molten mild steel.
The principle of the test method is applicable to a wider rang
