Standards Development
This document specifies minimum design and functional performance requirements for protective clothing against specified chemicals (including solids, airborne particles, aerosols, liquids, and gases (including radioactive contamination)) in the workplace and unidentified chemicals in emergency situations. These requirements cover all relevant parts of the ensemble which are attached/fitted to the chemical protective clothing, for example garment, visor, gloves, boots or bootees, ventilation (non-breathing), and other design features.
This document does not specifically address protection against biological, thermal (flame, heat or cold), and ionizing radiation hazards as specific requirements are covered by other relevant standards.
This type of equipment is not intended for immersion in liquids.
The basic performance criteria for the components such as gloves, boots or respiratory protective equipment are given in other standards.
Supplementary requirements are provided in this standard.Chemicals such as violently air sensitive reagents, unstable explosives and cryogenic liquids have not been considered since protection against these additional hazards is beyond the scope of this standard.
