Overview
SIST EN 16523-1:2015/kprA1:2018 is a European Standard developed by CEN that specifies a precise test method for determining the resistance of protective materials to permeation by hazardous liquid chemicals. This standard focuses on materials used in protective clothing, gloves, and footwear exposed to potentially dangerous liquid chemicals under conditions of continuous contact.
The standard is critical for assessing the chemical protection level offered by such materials, ensuring safety and compliance with European regulations. It defines how to test permeation resistance using liquid or gaseous collecting media but excludes chemical mixtures except aqueous solutions. This method supports manufacturers, safety professionals, and regulatory bodies in validating protective equipment performance.
Key Topics
Scope and Application
Applies to protective materials subjected to continuous chemical contact. It does not cover chemical mixtures except for aqueous solutions. It supports standards such as EN ISO 374-1:2016, which provides complementary product specifications for gloves and other PPE.Test Methodology
Utilizes a standard permeation cell where the material sample is continuously contacted with the challenge chemical. The permeated chemical is collected in a liquid or gaseous medium, commonly water of grade 3 purity as per EN ISO 3696.Test Specimens
Samples are conditioned (at 23 ± 2 °C for 16 hours unless otherwise specified), and a minimum of three specimens are tested to ensure reliability. Sampling details such as place, size (~68 mm diameter), and number are defined by the product standard.Measurement and Analysis
The permeation rate is monitored either continuously or periodically, ensuring breakthrough times and permeation rates are accurately recorded. Uncertainty of measurement is addressed with multiple approaches to guarantee data validity.Amendments and Modifications
The 2018 amendment clarifies the use of liquid collecting media, updates normative references, and enhances procedures for assembling samples and conducting tests, providing clearer guidance for laboratories.
Applications
SIST EN 16523-1:2015/kprA1:2018 is fundamental for:
Protective Clothing Manufacturers
Validating the chemical resistance and safety of garments intended for workers exposed to hazardous liquids.Glove and Footwear Testing
Ensuring gloves and boots offer effective protection against permeation of dangerous liquid chemicals in continuous exposure scenarios.Compliance with EU Directives
Supporting conformance with Directive 89/686/EEC and Regulation (EU) 2016/425 on personal protective equipment by providing standardized test data for certification and market access.Research and Quality Control Laboratories
Performing standardized permeation testing to develop and verify materials with improved chemical resistance properties.
