EN 13034:2005
EN 13034 covers the lowest level of chemical protection intended to protect from a potential exposure to small quantities of spray or accidental low volume splashes of less hazardous chemicals.
The garments are classified under the following categories :
- Type 6 suits protect at least the trunk and limbs i.e. in the case of one-piece coveralls or two piece suits
- Partial body protection Type PB[6] cover and protect only specific parts of the body such as in the case of jackets, aprons, etc.
The effect of the following chemicals are tested on the clothing material under this standard :
| Chemical |
Concentration weight % |
Temperature of
chemical ºC(± 2 ºC) |
| H2SO4 |
30 (aqueous) |
20 |
| NaOH |
10 (aqueous) |

| o-Xylene |

The criteria for the classification of clothing under different categories is done as per the performance levels :
| Class |
Repellency % |
Penetration % |
| 3 |
>95% |
<1% |
| 2 |
>90% |
<5% |
| 1 |
>80% |
<10% |
