Limited protection against liquid chemical splashes
EN 13034 covers Type 6 and Type PB [6] clothing for limited protection against light sprays and small, low-pressure liquid splashes.
Measures liquid run-off and penetration as percentages.
Minimum repellency: Class 3 for at least one specified chemical. Minimum penetration: Class 2 for at least one specified chemical.
| Class | Repellency index | Penetration index |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | > 80% | < 10% |
| 2 | > 90% | < 5% |
| 3 | > 95% | < 1% |
Measures performance against each test liquid.
30% sulfuric acid, 10% sodium hydroxide, undiluted o-xylene and undiluted butan-1-ol, at 20 ± 2 °C.
Measures abrasion resistance in cycles and tear, tensile and puncture forces in N after conditioning.
Minimum Class 1 for each applicable property under EN 14325:2004.
Checks seams, closures and the assembled garment.
Reduced spray testing applies to Type 6 garments.
| Type | Coverage | Whole-suit spray assessment |
|---|---|---|
| Type 6 | Trunk and limbs | Reduced spray test applies |
| Type PB [6] | Specified body areas | Whole-suit test does not apply |
