EN 13034, Type 6 Protective clothing against liquid chemicals

Protective clothing with a limited performance against the effects of small quantities of sprayed (liquid aerosols, spray) or spattered chemicals (with low pressure) of a low hazard potential. No complete barrier against the permeation of liquids as users can take suitable measures in a timely manner upon contamination. The protective clothing is, for example, used in the chemical and petrochemical industries as well as in laboratories.

All requirements are classified in performance levels. These are laid down in EN 14325 Test methods and performance classification of chemical protective clothing materials, seams, joins and assemblages.

The tests of R and P are effected with reference chemicals H2SO4 (30%), NaOH (10%), o-xylene (solvent, undiluted), butan-1-ol (solvent, undiluted). It must be ensured that a transmission of results to other chemicals is not possible or requires the execution of corresponding additional tests.

Performance classes:

  • H2SO4 R = Class 3, P = Class 3
  • NaOH R = Class 3, P = Class 3
  • Class 3 = R > 95 %, P 1 %
  • Class 2 = R > 90 %, P 5 %
  • Class 1 = R > 80 %, p 10 %

The garment provides no protection against organic solvents.
