Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies
(ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO
technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been
established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and
non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the
International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards
adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an
International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
ISO 6530 was prepared by the European Committee for Standardization (CEN) Technical Committee
CEN/TC 162, Protective clothing including hand and arm protection and lifejackets, in collaboration with
Technical Committee ISO/TC 94, Personal safety — Protective clothing and equipment, Subcommittee SC 13,
Protective clothing, in accordance with the Agreement on technical cooperation between ISO and CEN
(Vienna Agreement).

ISO 6530:2005(E)
Introduction
This International Standard specifies a test method for measuring indices of penetration, absorption and
repellency for protective clothing materials against low-volume, low-pressure splashes of liquid chemicals,
usually chemicals of low volatility. ISO 13994 may be used for determining the penetration resistance of
protective clothing materials against chemicals in larger volume and higher pressure splashes.
Clothing made of these materials should not be used as the sole means of protection where resistance to
permeation by chemicals at the molecular level (see 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).
Data obtained by this test method may be used as a guide for screening protective clothing materials. Clothing,
which has been developed from materials selected by this method of test should be used, therefore, only in
well-defined circumstances when an evaluation of the finished item has indicated an acceptable level of
performance (in laboratory and field-testing of a garment, consideration of exposure levels to specified
chemicals, etc.).
In interpreting the results of the test method, the influences of the physical properties of the test chemical (e.g.
volatility) should also be taken into consideration.

INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO 6530:2005(E)

Protective clothing — Protection against liquid chemicals —
Test method for resistance of materials to penetration by
liquids
1 Scope
This International Standard specifies a test method for the measurement of indices of penetration, absorption
and repellency for protective clothing materials against liquid chemicals, mainly chemicals of low volatility.
Two levels of the potential performance of materials are assessed by this method of testing to meet with
possible requirements for protection against
a) deposition on the surface of a material, at minimal pressure, of spray droplets up to coalescence or
occasional small drips;
b) contamination by a single low-volume splash or low-pressure jet, allowing sufficient time to divest the
clothing or take other action as necessary to eliminate any hazard to the wearer from chemical retained
by the protective garment, or, in circumstances where pressure is applied to liquid contaminants on the
surface of the clothing material, as a result of natural movemen
