BS EN 14225‑3 discusses diving suits with a focus on dry suits and requirements and test methods. BS EN 14225‑3 is the third part of the BS EN 14225 multi-series on diving suits that specifies the construction and performance of actively heated suits and actively cooled suits or components thereof, for wear by divers for underwater activities where the user is breathing underwater.
Marking, labelling, information meant to be provided at the point of sale, and instructions for use, laboratory, and practical performance tests are also specified in BS EN 14225‑3.
BS EN 14225‑3 on actively heated or cooled suit for diving is useful for:
BS EN 14225‑3 for actively heated or cooled diving suits systems and components has been prepared to meet the needs of persons engaged in underwater activities where the user is breathing underwater, and where the water temperature and exposure duration are such that the person's thermal status only can be maintained at a safe level using active heating or cooling. Actively heated suits and actively cooled suits are designed to reduce the risk of the diver suffering hypothermia and hyperthermia, respectively.
BS EN 14225‑3 discusses mechanical performance, resistance to cold and hot storage, sea water resistance, resistance to cleaning, disinfection and decontamination, the mechanical performance of the material, seams and attachments, resistance of the material to puncture and dynamic tearing, strength of suit seams, strength of closures, joint strength of attachments, integrity of slide fasteners, construction, sizing, and internal volume control system
