BS EN 13034
ProGARM® produces garments to protect wearers against liquid chemicals in accordance with this European Standard. These garments are suitable for use in environments where there may be a risk of chemical splashes but where a total chemical barrier is not required – *PB = Partial Body Protection.
The EN 13034 standard specifies the requirements and test methods for Type 6 chemical protection suits for both one-off and multiple use applications. For other related accessories, such as gloves and boots, which are not an integral part of the suit, please refer to the corresponding product standards. Clothing in this category provides limited protection against small spatters or fumes of liquid chemicals. it is usually made of water-repellent, but not completely waterproof materials – within the ProGARM® range of products this is often achieved by the uses of chemical coatings such as Teflon® which repel the contaminants and in order to preserve these properties within the fabric of the garment, special washing and drying instructions should be adhered to.
