EN 13034 specifies requirements for limited performance chemical protective clothing, designed for situations where low risk of exposure to liquid chemicals exists. These garments provide partial or full-body protection against light splashes or sprays of liquid chemicals, but not against continuous liquid contact or pressurized jets.

Garment Types

• Type 6: Full-body protective clothing for light spray or splashes of liquid chemicals.
• PB [6]: Partial body protection (e.g., aprons, sleeves, hoods) for localized protection.

Performance Requirements

• Resistance to liquid penetration under low-pressure spray conditions.
• Seam strength and integrity to prevent leakage.
• Material chemical resistance tested according to EN ISO 6529.
• Design requirements to ensure coverage and minimize risk of liquid ingress at closures and interfaces.
