This European standard specifies a test method to measure a penetration index for protective clothing materials against atomized emulsions and dispersions of liquid chemicals, e.g. pesticides used in agricultural crop spraying. The data may be used as a guide for screening protective clothing materials but the results of the test are affected by the physical properties of the test chemical, e.g. low volatility chemicals. Clothing, which has been developed from materials selected by means of this method of test, should be used only in well-defined circumstances, i.e. when an evaluation of the finished item has indicated an acceptable level of performance (e.g. in laboratory and field testing of a garment, consideration of exposure levels to specified chemicals etc.).
Clothing made of these materials is not for use as the sole means of protection where resistance to permeation by chemicals at the molecular level (to be determined by EN ISO 6529) is essential and where a complete barrier to liquid (or gaseous chemicals) is required (e.g. risk of exposure to massive and forceful discharges of concentrated liquid chemicals). The potential performance levels of materials as assessed by the test method described in this standard are intended to be used in product specifications for protective apparel against atomized liquids, emulsified and dispersed chemicals.

1 Scope This European Standard specifies a test method to determine the resistance of textile materials against penetration by atomized liquid chemicals, emulsions and dispersions. These materials are intended to be used in both limited-use and reusable protective clothing.
The penetration is expressed in percent, as ratio of the amounts of chemical applied and retained by the textile. The methods of quantitative physico-chemical analysis used for mass detection will depend on the chemical under test. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this European Standard. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies. EN 22768-1, General tolerances - Part 1: Tolerances for linear and angular dimensions without individual tolerance indications (ISO 2768-1:1998) 3 Terms and definitions For the purposes of this European Standard, the following terms and definitions apply.
3.1 penetration
process by which a chemical flows through holes or essential openings in the material.
NOTE The holes may be the result of mechanical damage
3.2 permeation
the process by which a chemical moves through a protective clothing material on a molecular level.
NOTE Permeation involves:
 sorption of the molecules of the chemical into the contacted (outside) surface of the material;
 diffusion of the sorbed molecules in the material, and  desorption of the molecules from the opposite (inner) surface of the material. 4 Principle
A test specimen is contaminated by a small quantity of atomized liquid chemical, emulsion or dispersion, injected by a two-phase nozzle operated by a microprocessor controlled step motor. Part of the chemicals will penetrate and wet the test specimen. The flow of chemical passing through the material will be taken up by an absorbent under the test specimen (see Figure 1 for a schematic representation of the test equipment). After 30 min. exposure time the textile and the adsorbent are extracted and analysed in order to determine the amounts of chemical retained and passed through .The extraction efficiency shall be proven and should be larger than 95 %. Depending on the type of chemical different techniques such as e. g. high pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC) or gas chromatography (GC) are used for the quantitative analysis.
The penetration of a protective clothing material is defined as the ratio of the mass of chemical penetrated to the mass of chemical applied.
