Requirements for chemical protection clothing with liquid-tight (type 3) or spray-tight (type 4) connections, including items providing only partial body protection (types PB [3] and PB [4]).

This standard sets out the minimum requirements for the following types of limited use and reuseable chemical protective clothing:

- Clothing protecting the full body with liquid-tight connections between the various clothing parts (Type 3: liquid-tight clothing) ;
- Clothing protecting the full body with spray-tight connections between the various clothing parts (Type 4: spray-tight clothing) ;
Note: These standards were formerly entitled EN1512 (Type 4) and EN1511 (Type 3).

a - When the protective equipment only protects certain parts of the body (torso, arms, legs), only the performance requirements for the materials making up the garment are required required (types 6, 4 and 3).

PROTECTION AGAINST HEAT AND FLAME

Protection against heat and flame. This standard specifies the performance requirements of materials and protective clothing against heat and flames. They apply to clothing made of soft material, designed to protect the human body except the hands against heat and/ or flame.
Tested are:

MAIVE2
	EN ISO 11612

Level C1 protective clothing is suitable when the potential risk is relatively low. Level C1 protective clothing provides the minimum protection and is not suitable for the handling of concentrated pesticide formulations. It can be used as basic protective clothing with other items when the potential risk is relatively higher.

Level C2 protective clothing, including partial body protection, is suitable when it has been determined that the protection required is greater than that provided by level C1 protective clothing. C2 level protective clothing generally offers a balance between comfort and protection. This protective clothing is not suitable for the handling of concentrated pesticide formulations. It can be used as basic protective clothing with other items when the potential risk is relatively higher.

Level C3 protective clothing, including partial body protection, is suitable when it has been determined that the potential risk is high. For level C3 protective clothing, precautionary measures, such as short-term use, are necessary, as these clothing can generate excessive heat, leading to exhaustion and heat stress. Level C3 protective clothing, including partial body protection, is suitable for the handling of diluted pesticides as well as concentrated pesticides.

The risk incurred should be assessed according to the toxicity of the phytosanitary product (refer to its labelling) and the degree of exposure to the operator. For example, it is easy to understand that the degree of operator exposure will be much higher with aerial spraying towed by an open cab tractor than with manual trigger spraying.

Requirements for chemical protection clothing offering limited performance against liquid chemical products (type 6 equipment), including clothing for partial body protection (Type PB [6]).

This standard sets out the minimum requirements for limited use and reusable limited performance chemical protective clothing. Limited use chemical protective clothing is intended for use in cases of a potential exposure to light sprays, liquid aerosols or lowpressure, low-volume splashes, against which a complete liquid permeation barrier (at the molecular level) is not required.

PROTECTIVE CLOTHING TO DISSIPATE STATIC ELECTRICITY

This European Standard specifies requirements for materials and the design of protective electrostatic dissipation clothing used in conjunction with a grounded system in order to prevent incendiary discharges. WARNING: These requirements may be insufficient in oxygen enriched flammable environments. This standard is not applicable for protection against mains voltages.

The control of undesirable static electricity on the person is often necessary.

The electrostatic potential may, indeed, have serious consequences on the charged individual, because it can be high enough to cause dangerous sparks.

After a risk assessment, the wearing of protective electrical dissipation clothing may be necessary. The use of clothing certified according to EN1149-5 is then adapted.

The ATEX Directive 1999/92/EC, in its Annex II-A-2.3, requests that workers be equipped with work clothes made of materials that do not produce electrostatic discharges that can ignite
explosive environments.

The electrostatic potential can also affect equipment sensitive to electric discharge. Antistatic clothing is often used on electronic manufacturing sites, assembling semiconductors for example. Finally, they are used on sites with controlled atmospheres such as automotive paint workshops, to avoid the emission of particles that may be deposited on the body paint.

The antistatic charge dissipation can be provided by a process limiting the build up of charge, or by adding carbon or metal wires. People wearing protective electrostatic charge dissipation clothing must always be grounded with a resistance of less than 10⁸Ω, for example, by wearing appropriate footwear such as the safety shoes stated in EN ISO 20345, or by other suitable means.

PROTECTIVE CLOTHING AGAINST COOL ENVIRONMENTS

This standard specifies the requirements and performance test methods for protective garments (vests, jackets, coats, trousers) against cool environments.

These garments are for use in moderate low temperatures (-5°C and over) to protect against local body cooling. Not only for outdoor use such as in the construction industry; may also be used for indoor activities, such as in the food processing industry.

These garments are not always necessarily made of air impermeable or watertight materials.

Therefore, in this European standard, these requirements are optional.

X : Class of heat resistance, Rct

X : Class of air permeability, AP

X : /cler of the garment (Optional)

X : Class of resistance to water penetration WP (Optional)
