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.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www.iso.org/directives).
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. Details of
any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or
on the ISO list of patent declarations received (see www.iso.org/patents).
Any trade name used in this document is information given for the convenience of users and does not

This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (ISO 27065:2011), which has been technically
revised.
The main changes compared to the previous edition are as follows:
— major changes have been made to Levels 1 and 3 requirements;

Introduction
This document addresses the performance requirements for protective clothing worn by operators
handling liquid pesticide products as well as protective clothing worn by re-entry workers. It
includes requirements for protective clothing (e.g. shirts, jackets, trousers, and coveralls) and partial-
body protective clothing (e.g. aprons, smocks, protective sleeves, hoods/caps, and material placed
below knapsack/backpack sprayers). Requirements for protective clothing, including partial-body,
constructed with multiple layers or materials are also included in this document.
This document classifies protective clothing, including partial-body, into three performance levels. A
brief description for the three levels is given below.
Level C1 protective clothing, including partial-body, is suitable when the potential risk is relatively low.
Level C1 protective clothing provides the least protection and is not suitable for use with concentrated
pesticide formulations. It can be used as the base protective clothing with additional items worn when
the potential risk is relatively higher. See Annex F for additional information on risk assessment and
use of PPE for risk mitigation.
Level C2 protective clothing, including partial-body, is suitable when it has been determined that the
protection required is higher than that provided by Level C1 protective clothing. Level C2 protective
clothing typically provides a balance between comfort and protection. This protective clothing is not
suitable for use with concentrated pesticide formulations. It can be used as the base protective clothing
with additional items worn when the potential risk is relatively higher.
Level C3 protective clothing, including partial-body, is suitable for use when it has been determined
that the potential risk is high. Precautionary measures such as short duration for use are necessary
for Level C3 suits/coveralls that may cause heat build-up resulting in heat exhaustion/stress. Level
C3 protective clothing, including partial-body, is suitable for use with diluted as well as concentrated
pesticides.
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) is often used for risk mitigation. See Annex F for information on
risk assessment and use of PPE for risk mitigation. Since protective clothing can be contaminated in
various ways (e.g. fine spray, contact with wet surface, contact with pesticide product sprayed under
pressure, contact between the protective clothing and a contaminated surface), laboratory test methods
used in the standard rate materials and clothing rather than simulate the various field conditions.
ISO 16602 focuses on industrial chemicals, whereas this document focuses on protection against
pesticides that are frequently applied in aqueous solutions. Penetration, permeation, and repellency tests
in ISO 16602 are typically done with neat chemicals not used in pesticide application. In this document,
penetration, permeation, and repellency tests are conducted with a mixture. The test chemical selected
for testing is an emulsifiable concentrate that is representative of a worst case scenario for penetration
and repellency. Testing for penetration is conducted with diluted formulation. For permeation, the
standard provides a provision for testing with diluted formulation and concentrate. In additional, it
allows for testing with additional pesticide products, if required, based on risk assessment conducted
for the required pesticide product.
This document is intended for fabric and protective clothing manufacturers and pesticide product
manufacturers, as well as trainers, regulators, and other individuals or organizations that make
decisions regarding protective clothing for protection against pesticide products.

Protective clothing — Performance requirements for
protective clothing worn by operators applying pesticides
and for re-entry workers
1 Scope
This document establishes minimum performance, classification, and marking requirements for
protective clothing worn by operators handling pesticide products as well as re-entry workers. For the
purpose of this document, the term pesticide applies to insecticides, herbicides, fungicides, and other
substances applied in liquid form that are intended to prevent, destroy, repel, or reduce any pest or
weeds in agricultural settings, green spaces, roadsides, etc. It does not include biocidal products used
for agricultural and non-agricultural settings.
Pesticide handling includes mixing and loading, application, and other activities such as cleaning
contaminated equipment and containers. Concentrated pesticides are typically handled during mixing
and loading. Protective clothing covered by this document includes, but is not limited to, shirts,
jackets, trousers, coveralls, aprons, protective sleeves, caps/hats and other headwear (excluding hard
hats made of rigid materials, e.g. hats worn by construction workers), and accessories used under
knapsack/backpack sprayers.
This document does not address items used for the protection of the respiratory tract, hands, and feet.
This document does not address protection against fumigants.
