The BS 7184 standard, developed by the British Standards Institute (BSI), contains information on the selection, use and maintenance of chemical protective clothing. The full name of this standard is as follows: BS 7184 Selection, use and maintenance of chemical protective suits - Guidance.

Choosing the right protective clothing depends on a clear understanding of what is expected of it and why it is intended to be used. This practical and simple approach is taken as the basis by establishing standards for establishing protective clothing standards for performance.

Standards on chemical protective clothing address full garment performance. Each standard sets the lowest performance levels for protection provided by the materials, seams, caps and other components used in the manufacture of these clothing, as well as clothing as a whole. These criteria have been designed with the hazardous chemical emergency response team in mind and are also used in a number of other protective clothing applications.

There are basic factors to consider when choosing chemical protective suits. European standards for chemical protective clothing are undoubtedly of great importance in ensuring workplace safety. As a matter of fact, BS 7184 standard prepared for the selection, use and maintenance of chemical protective clothing is of great importance.

In addition, many real-world applications demand much higher protection than the minimum. In this regard, personal protection equipment standards primarily determine the low performance requirements. In this respect, it is dangerous to use only CE marked products and to assume that it means that employees are safe without understanding the content and detail of a standard.
