  Liquid Chemical Protection Type 6 PB

  EN 13034:2005+A1:2009 specifies the performance requirements for protective clothing that offers limited protection against liquid chemicals, identified specifically as Type 6 PB (partial body protection). The 'Type 6 PB' designation implies that the protective garment has been tested and confirmed to provide effective defense against light spray and minor splashes of liquid chemicals, but only for parts of the body such as aprons, sleeves, or boots rather than full body suits. This standard tests the fabric's barrier effectiveness by applying a defined volume of liquid to the garment and assessing any penetration or repellence under controlled laboratory conditions. Garments achieving Type 6 PB classification are crucial for tasks in industries like chemical processing or handling where full body coverage is unnecessary, thereby offering flexibility and targeted protection, reducing the risk of chemical exposure to critical areas of the body.

  Material Performance Tested

  The EN 1149-5:2008 standard specifies the performance requirements for material used in protective clothing designed to avoid incendiary discharges. The test result Tested means that the material has undergone relevant evaluation procedures to confirm its static dissipative properties. These tests generally involve measuring the electrical resistance of the material in ohms (Ω) to determine its capability to dissipate electrostatic charges and prevent sparking that could ignite flammable substances. The practical implications of this result for the respective product category (like protective workwear for use in explosive atmospheres) are significant, as it ensures that the clothing provides a level of protection against electrostatic discharges, potentially reducing the risk of fire or explosion in environments with flammable gases, vapors, or dusts.
