Overview
EN 1073-2:2002 is a European Standard developed by CEN that specifies the requirements and test methods for non-ventilated protective clothing designed to protect the wearer against particulate radioactive contamination. This standard focuses on clothing intended to shield the body, arms, and legs from contamination by radioactive particles. It excludes protection against ionizing radiation and contamination protection for patients undergoing diagnostic or therapeutic radioactive procedures.
The standard is crucial for industries and environments where workers are exposed to radioactive particles but do not require full respiratory protection or ventilated suits.
Key Topics
Scope and Application
- Protects only the body, arms, and legs; additional accessories (e.g., gloves, boots, respiratory protective equipment) protect other body parts as specified in other standards.
- Non-ventilated, meaning the suit is not supplied with clean air and does not maintain positive pressure inside.
- Applicable to both single-use and reusable protective clothing.
Design Requirements
- The clothing must be easy to put on and remove to minimize contamination risk.
- Must reduce physiological stress on the wearer.
- Can be a single garment or a combination designed to be worn with accessories.
- Tested with accessories fitted, according to manufacturer’s instructions.
Material Criteria
- Materials must have high abrasion resistance, puncture resistance, tear resistance, and resistance to ignition.
- Materials undergo conditioning and testing to simulate actual use and cleaning cycles for reusable suits.
- Standard classifies materials and garments according to test results (abrasion cycles, puncture force, tear force, etc.).
Protection Performance
- Measured by the Nominal Protection Factor (NPF), which is the ratio of ambient particle concentration to particle concentration inside the suit.
- Total Inward Leakage (TIL) is quantified to classify protective performance.
- Classification ensures a minimum protection level (class 1 or above).
Seam and Joins Strength
- Seam strength and integrity are critical to prevent particulate ingress.
- Specific seam strength thresholds classify the garment.
- Joins and assemblages between clothing and detachable parts (gloves, boots) are pull-tested for durability.
Testing Procedures
- Includes practical performance tests simulating realistic movements like walking and handling materials.
- Tests are performed under controlled temperature and humidity.
- Visual inspection and preconditioning simulate real industrial conditions.
- Test subjects evaluate comfort, ease of movement, and fastening security during the practical performance test.
- Nominal protection factor is determined with accessories attached as prescribed.
Marking and Information
- Clothing must be clearly marked with manufacturer ID, standard number, performance level, year of manufacture, size, and standardized pictogram.
- Manufacturers must provide detailed user information in the official language(s) of the country.
