Criteria and test methods for the evaluation of chemical protective clothing in ASTM F1296-08 standard published by American Testing and Materials Organization (ASTM) It is disclosed. The full name of this standard is as follows: ASTM F1296-08 Standard guide for the evaluation of chemical protective suits.
The standards that fall under the jurisdiction of the American Testing and Materials Organization technical committees are used as part of a protocol for the development, selection, features and use of individual or chemical protective clothing. Standards are accepted as a tool in which information is requested, produced and reported in a consistent and comparable way. The evaluation and testing methods developed are only recommended guidelines. Test methods provide procedures for the evaluation of chemical protective clothing under standard conditions to allow comparison.
The guideline in the ASTM F1296-08 standard aims to assist in the implementation of standards for the design, properties and selection of chemical protective clothing to ultimately protect the health and safety of workers who come into contact with hazardous chemicals.
The use of all chemical protective clothing is based on a hazard assessment to determine the risks of exposure to chemicals and other hazards. Information on clothing performance is combined with professional judgment and clothing criteria to provide the best protection to employees.
The guideline contains a brief description of each of the referenced standards, followed by specific recommendations for the use of those standards. The referenced standards are organized under the following headings: material chemical resistance, material physical properties, seam and closure performance and overall clothing performance.
The purpose of laboratory tests is to produce data and information that will allow choosing the most suitable clothing. Ultimately, the selection decision is based on the technical assessment and professional risk assessment of the available information.
Within the framework of laboratory services of materials, ASTM F1296-08 provides standard test services for the evaluation of chemical protective suits by our organization.
