1 Scope
This document specifies the test method for determining the resistance of chemical
protective clothing to penetration by sprays of liquid chemicals at two different
levels of intensity:
-
a) Method A: low-level spray test. This is applicable to clothing that covers the full
body surface and is intended to be worn when there is a potential risk of exposure
to small quantities of spray or accidental low-volume splashes of a liquid chemical.
-
b) Method B: high-level spray test. This is applicable to clothing with spray-tight connections
between different parts of the clothing and, if applicable, between the clothing and
other items of personal protective equipment, which covers the full body surface and
which is intended to be worn when there is a risk of exposure to sprayed liquid chemical.
This document does not apply to chemical permeation resistance of the materials from
which the chemical protective clothing is made.
