EUROLAB laboratory provides testing and compliance services within the scope of ASTM F1670 standard. The ASTM F1670 standard is used to evaluate the resistance of materials used in protective clothing to the penetration of synthetic blood under conditions of continuous fluid contact. Protective clothing pass/fail determinations are based on visual detection of synthetic blood penetration.
This test method is not always effective for testing protective clothing materials with thick, inner linings that readily absorb synthetic blood.
This test method is a tool for selecting protective clothing materials for further testing with a more complex barrier test as described in Test Method F1671 .
This test method does not apply to all forms or conditions of bloodborne pathogen exposure. Users of the test method should review their work/clothing exposure modes and evaluate the suitability of this test method for their particular application.
This test method only considers the performance of materials used in protective clothing or of certain material constructions (e.g. seams). This test method does not consider the design, overall construction and components or interfaces of garments, or other factors that may affect the overall protection afforded by the protective garment.
Values stated in SI units or inch-pound units will be considered standard separately. The values specified in each system may not be exactly equivalent; therefore, each system should be used independently of the other. Combining values from the two systems may result in non-compliance with the standard.
This standard does not purport to address all, if any, safety concerns associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety, health and environmental practices and to determine the applicability of regulatory restrictions prior to use.
Our organization, EUROLAB, provides standard test method services regarding the resistance of materials used in protective clothing to penetration by synthetic blood, within the framework of national and international standards, with its trained and expert staff and advanced technological equipment, among numerous test, measurement, analysis and evaluation studies. Provides testing services within the scope of ASTM F1670 standard.
