Protective clothing against liquid chemicals - performance requirements for clothing with liquid-tight (Type 3) or spray-tight (Type 4) connections, including items providing protection to parts of the body only (Types PB [3] and PB [4])
This document specifies the minimum requirements for the following types of limited use and reusable chemical protective clothing:
- Full-body protective clothing with liquid-tight connections between different parts of the clothing (Type 3: liquid-tight clothing) and, if applicable, with liquid-tight connections to component parts, such as hoods, gloves, boots, visors or respiratory protective equipment, which may be specified in other European Standards.
Examples of such clothing are one-piece coveralls or two-piece suits, with or without hood or visors, with or without boot-socks or over-boots, with or without gloves;
- Full-body protective clothing with spray-tight connections between different parts of the clothing (Type 4: spray-tight clothing) and, if applicable, spray-tight connections to component parts, such as hoods, gloves, boots, visors or respiratory protective equipment, which may be specified in other European Standards.
Examples of such clothing are one-piece coveralls or two-piece suits, with or without hood or visors, with or without boot-socks or over-boots, with or without gloves;
- Partial body protection garments offering protection to specific parts of the body against permeation of chemical liquids.
Examples of such garments are e.g. laboratory coats, jackets, trousers, aprons, sleeves, hoods (not air-supplied) etc. As partial body protection leaves some parts of the body unprotected this document specifies only the performance requirements for the clothing material and the seams.
NOTE Partial body chemical protective garments which offer only protection against penetration of chemical liquids are within the scope of EN 13034 (Type PB [6] clothing).

in anderen Europäischen Normen Festlegungen bestehen können.
Beispiele für solche Kleidung sind einteilige Overalls oder zweiteilige Anzüge mit oder ohne Haube oder
Sichtscheibe, mit oder ohne Füßlinge oder Überschuhe, mit oder ohne Handschuhe.
- Ganzkörperschutzkleidung mit spraydichten Verbindungen zwischen den verschiedenen Teilen der
Kleidung (Typ 4: spraydichte Kleidung) und, falls anwendbar, mit spraydichten Verbindungen zu Zubehörteilen
wie Hauben, Handschuhe, Stiefel, Sichtscheiben oder Atemschutzausrüstungen, für die in anderen
Europäischen Normen Festlegungen bestehen können.
Beispiele für solche Kleidung sind einteilige Overalls oder zweiteilige Anzüge mit oder ohne Haube oder
Sichtscheibe, mit oder ohne Füßlinge oder Überschuhe, mit oder ohne Handschuhe.
- Teilkörperschutzkleidungsstücke, die bestimmten Teilen des Körpers Schutz gegen die Permeation
flüssiger Chemikalien bieten.
Beispiele für solche Kleidungsstücke sind z. B. Labormäntel, Jacken, Hosen, Schürzen, Ärmel, Hauben
(ohne Luftzufuhr) usw. Da Teilkörperschutz einen Teil des Körpers ungeschützt lässt, legt dieses
Dokument nur die Leistungsanforderungen für das Bekleidungsmaterial und die Nähte fest.
ANMERKUNG Chemikalienschutzkleidung für Teile des Körpers, die nur Schutz gegen die Penetration flüssiger
Chemikalien bietet, gehört zum Anwendungsbereich von EN 13034 (Kleidung Typ 6).

Overview
SIST EN 14605:2005+A1:2009 is a comprehensive European standard specifying performance requirements for protective clothing against liquid chemicals. It focuses on garments with liquid-tight (Type 3) or spray-tight (Type 4) connections, including items that provide protection to specific parts of the body only (Types PB [3] and PB [4]). This standard ensures that users are protected from hazardous chemical liquids through stringent testing of materials, seams, and garment performance under realistic conditions.
Developed and maintained by the European Committee for Standardization (CEN), SIST EN 14605:2005+A1:2009 applies to both limited use and reusable chemical protective clothing. It supports essential safety requirements under EU Directive 89/686/EEC, facilitating safer workplaces where chemical exposure is a risk.
Key Topics
Scope and Types of Protection:
- Full-body liquid-tight clothing (Type 3) with sealed connections between garment parts and to components (e.g., hoods, gloves, boots).
- Full-body spray-tight clothing (Type 4) designed to protect against chemical sprays with tight connections.
- Partial body protection (Types PB [3] and PB [4]), covering specific areas such as laboratory coats, aprons, sleeves, or non-air-supplied hoods.
Material Requirements:
Garment materials must meet minimum abrasion resistance, tear resistance, tensile strength, puncture resistance, and chemical permeation performance levels. Materials must be free from skin irritants and tested after specified cleaning cycles to ensure durability and safety.Seams and Assemblage Integrity:
The durability and impermeability of seams and joins are critical. Testing ensures that liquid chemical resistance is maintained throughout the connections between garment components.Performance Testing:
- Type 3 suits undergo jet spray penetration tests simulating direct liquid jets.
- Type 4 suits undergo spray tests simulating chemical spray exposure.
- For partial body protection, only material and seam performance is assessed-no full suit testing is required.
Wearer Comfort and Mobility:
Protective suits must allow freedom of movement, verified through a "seven movements" test involving kneeling, crawling, climbing, and arm extension. Comfort impacts practical use and safety compliance, making ergonomic design essential.Marking and Manufacturer Information:
Garments must be clearly marked with performance classifications and usage instructions, including cleaning protocols and limitations, to ensure proper selection and safe use.
Applications
SIST EN 14605:2005+A1:2009 protective clothing is essential in industries and environments where workers face exposure to hazardous liquid chemicals, including:
- Chemical Manufacturing and Handling: Workers require reliable barrier protection to prevent chemical splash or jet liquid contact.
- Laboratories and Research Facilities: Partial body protection garments offer flexible solutions for handling specific chemicals during experiments.
- Environmental Cleanup and Emergency Response: Type 3 and Type 4 suits protect responders dealing with chemical spills or hazardous liquid aerosols.
- Pharmaceutical Production: Minimizes contamination risks while protecting staff from chemical agents.
- Agriculture and Pesticide Application: Protects workers from spray chemicals and accidental splashes during handling and application.
The standard serves as a benchmark for manufacturers, safety officers, and occupational health specialists to select and certify chemical protective clothing that balances high-performance safety with wearer comfort.
