Frequently Asked Questions
CEN/TC 162/WG 13 is a Working Group within the European Committee for Standardization (CEN). It is named "Joint Working Group between CEN/TC 162 and CEN/TC 161 - Test methods for permeation of chemicals through materials for protective footwear, gloves and clothing" and is responsible for: The JWG shall develop test methods for testing permeation of chemicals through materials for use in protective footwear, gloves and clothing. This committee has published 2 standards.
CEN/TC 162/WG 13 develops CEN standards in the area of Information technology. The scope of work includes: The JWG shall develop test methods for testing permeation of chemicals through materials for use in protective footwear, gloves and clothing. Currently, there are 2 published standards from this working group.
The European Committee for Standardization (CEN) is a public standards organization that brings together the national standardization bodies of 34 European countries. CEN provides a platform for developing European Standards (ENs) and other technical documents in relation to various products, materials, services, and processes, supporting the European Single Market.
A Working Group in CEN is a specialized group responsible for developing standards or technical work within a defined scope. These bodies bring together international experts to create consensus-based standards that support global trade, safety, and interoperability.
This European Standard specifies a test method for the determination of the resistance of protective clothing, gloves and footwear materials to permeation by potential hazardous liquid chemicals under the condition of continuous contact.
This test method is applicable to the assessment of protection against liquid chemicals that can be collected only by liquid or gaseous collecting media.
This test method is not adapted for the assessment of chemical mixtures, except for aqueous solutions.
This standard shall be used with the specifications given in the products standards (for examples EN 374 1 for gloves) where the following information shall be defined:
- any pre-conditioning;
- precise sampling (place, size, number);
- associated levels of performance.
