BS EN 14225 2 discusses diving suits with a focus on dry suits and requirements and test methods. BS EN 14225 2 is the second part of the BS EN 14225 multi-series on diving suits that specifies the construction and performance of dry suits 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 14225‑2.
BS EN 14225 2 on safety requirements for dry suits for diving is useful for:
BS EN 14225 2 for dry diving suits has been prepared to meet the needs of persons engaged in underwater activities where the user is breathing underwater, and where thermal comfort and required thermal protection is higher than that provided by a wet suit. A dry suit is also designed to enable the wearers to adjust the gas volume in the suit according to their requirements.
BS EN 14225 2 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.
