EN ISO 13034
REQUIREMENTS FOR PROTECTIVE CLOTHING FOR SPLASHES OF CHEMICAL PRODUCTS (Type 6 equipment)
The EN ISO 13034 standard specifies the requirements for protective clothing against splashes of chemical products. Requirements for features related to abrasion, resistance and traction and liquid acid penetration and repellancy are checked. Garments classified under this standard are considered to be in Category 3.
