Protective clothing for protection against chemicals - Classification, labelling and performance requirements - Part 6: Guidance for Selection, Use, Care and Maintenance (ISO/DIS 16602-6:2025)
This document addresses the selection, use, care and maintenance (SUCAM) of chemical protective clothing (CPC). This guidance document is primarily intended for users, specifiers and others with responsibility for the procurement and provision of chemical protective clothing. It is also intended to be used by manufacturers in their dialogue with the users of PPE.
This guidance document is intended to clarify the inter-relationship between this ISO 16602 series of standards and its modular approach, ISO 17723-1 but also how this links to the old classification of CPC.
These guidelines are intended to assist users and specifiers in selecting the correct type of CPC for the task to be performed, and to help them ensure it is used according to the manufacturer's instructions to provide adequate chemical protection (including solids, airborne particles, aerosols, liquids, and gases (including radioactive contamination)) during its entire lifetime. Lifetime and effectiveness of protective clothing depend largely on care and maintenance. When cleaning, disinfection and end-of-life disposal are considered the environmental impact should also be taken into account.
To assist the users of products covered under this document, this document provides descriptions of referenced test methods, guidelines for conducting hazard and risk assessments and suggested performance levels for certain applications. It is not the intent of this document to address all situations.
NOTE Although this document has been created as a stand-alone document covering ISO 16602-1 through ISO 16602-5, it is strongly recommended to read this guidance in conjunction with ISO 16602-1 (if not the other parts) to understand the detail of the requirements.
Schutzkleidung gegen Chemikalien - Klassifizierung, Kennzeichnung und Leistungsfähigkeit - Teil 6: Leitfaden für Auswahl, Gebrauch, Pflege und Wartung
Dieses Dokument behandelt die Auswahl, den Gebrauch, die Pflege und Wartung (SUCAM) von Chemikalienschutzkleidung (CPC, en: chemical protective clothing). Dieses Leitliniendokument ist hauptsächlich für Anwender, Verfasser von Spezifikationen und sonstige für die Beschaffung und Bereitstellung von Chemikalienschutzkleidung Verantwortliche vorgesehen. Zudem ist es auch für die Verwendung durch Hersteller in ihrem Dialog mit den Anwendern von PSA vorgesehen.
Dieses Leitliniendokument ist dafür bestimmt, den Zusammenhang zwischen dieser Normenreihe ISO 16602, ihrem modularen Ansatz und ISO 17723 1 klarzustellen, aber auch, wie dies mit der alten Klassifizierung von Chemikalienschutzkleidung verbunden ist.
Diese Leitlinien sind dafür vorgesehen, Anwender und Verfasser von Spezifikationen bei der Auswahl des richtigen Typs der Chemikalienschutzkleidung für die durchzuführende Aufgabe zu unterstützen, und diesen dabei zu helfen sicherzustellen, dass die CPC entsprechend den Anweisungen des Herstellers verwendet wird, damit sie angemessenen Schutz vor Chemikalien [einschließlich Feststoffen, luftgetragener Partikel, Aerosolen, Flüssigkeiten und Gasen (einschließlich radioaktiver Kontamination)] über ihre gesamte Lebensdauer bietet. Die Lebensdauer und Wirksamkeit von Schutzkleidung hängen stark von der Pflege und Wartung ab. Wenn Reinigung, Desinfektion und die Entsorgung am Lebensende in Betracht gezogen werden, sollte auch die Umweltauswirkung berücksichtigt werden.
Zur Unterstützung der Anwender der von diesem Dokument abgedeckten Produkte stellt dieses Dokument Beschreibungen von in Bezug genommenen Prüfverfahren, Leitlinien für die Durchführung von Gefährdungs- und Risikobewertungen und empfohlene Leistungsniveaus für bestimmte Anwendungen bereit. Mit diesem Dokument wird nicht beabsichtigt, alle möglichen Situationen zu behandeln.
ANMERKUNG Obwohl dieses Dokument als eigenständiges Dokument erstellt wurde, das ISO/DIS 16602 1 bis ISO/DIS 16602 5 abdeckt, wird dringend empfohlen, diese Leitlinie in Verbindung mit ISO/DIS 16602 1 (wenn nicht den anderen Teilen) zu lesen, um die Einzelheiten der Anforderungen zu verstehen.
