TYPE 3 EN 14605

Suits which can protect against strong and directional jets of a liquid chemical such as spray from a burst pipe under pressure. Requires a barrier fabric and sealed seams.

• Fabric, seams and joints being tested with intense and pressurized liquid jet
• Low surface tension of liquid jets
• Requires coveralls with fully sealed seam
• One nozzle sprays at potential weak areas of coverall including chinstrap, crotch, zipper flap and joints

TYPE 4 EN 14605

Suits which can protect against saturation of liquid chemical, where the volume of the liquid builds up on the suit forming pools, resulting in rivulets. Requires a barrier fabric and sealed seam.

• 4 nozzles with general overspray of liquid without penetration on coverall
• Low surface tension of liquid sprays being tested on whole garment to experiment saturation of fabric
• Fabric, seams and joints being tested without pressurized liquid

TYPE 5 EN ISO 13982-1

Suits for protection against hazardous dry particles.

• Spray cabin filled with dust
• The test is performed by real person, aims to simulate daily use
• Subject (real person) performs 3 exercises on treadmill
• Particle inward leakage(IL) and total inward leakage(TIL) must meet test requirements

TYPE 6 EN 13034

Suits for protection against light spray and splashes of liquid chemicals where there is no directional spray or build up of liquid on the suit, but there may be a fine mist of droplets in the atmosphere.

• 4 nozzles with general overspray of liquid without penetration on coverall
• Low surface tension of liquid sprays being tested on whole garment to experiment saturation of fabric
• Fabric, seams and joints being tested without pressurized liquid
• About 40% of the liquid spray is loaded onto the suit compared with Type 4 test

EN 1073-2

Protective clothing against particulate radioactive contamination.

• The standard was developed to be applied in nuclear industry without protection against ionizing radiation
• The test follows the same protocols as Type 5 test with different judgement criteria

EN ISO 14116

Limited flame spray materials, material assemblies, and clothing.

To check whether the fabric/materials burn while contacting heat source. Whether the fabric stops flame spreading if burned

Requirements for limited flame spread Index 1

• No spreading of the flame
• No flaming debris
• No afterglow
• A hole may be formed

EN 1149-5

• The standard specifies a set of requirements and test methods to measure the fabric protection against static electricity or charge decay
• Electrostatic resistance is required when the wearer is exposed to environments where sparks could cause explosions or ignition
• Coveralls according to this standard do not offer protection from main voltages

EN 14126

• The standard specifies a set of requirements and test methods to measure the fabric protection against infective agents
• ISO 16603, ISO 16604, ISO/DIS 22611 determines penetration by blood, body fluids, blood borne and biologically contaminated aerosol
• ISO 22612, ISO 22610 determines the resistance of dry and wet microbial penetration

DIN 32781

• The test standard covers requirements in chemical penetration, fabric strength and ergonomics.
• The certification includes EN 14786, which simulates liquid spray of drugs
• Five different pesticides including U46-D-Fluid (BASF), Pirimor Granulat (Syngenta), Amistar(Syngenta), Betanal Expert(Bayer), Folicur(Bayer) are tested to ensure protection against pesticides
