Protective Clothing Tests

Mechanical Performance (EN 14325)

One euroThe EN 14325 standard, which is the upa standard, describes the mechanical performance properties and test methods of protective clothing. This standard has been published in our country by the Turkish Standards Institute (TSE) with the following title: TS EN 14325 Protective clothing against chemicals - Test methods and performance classification for protective clothing materials, seams, joints and joints.

Mechanical Performance (EN 14325)

Regular risk assessments carried out in work environments in businesses are important to identify the nature of any existing hazards and the associated risks. In risk assessment studies, attention is paid to employees, their level of movement, the equipment used and the nature of the environment. Protective clothing generally has to provide effective protection and comply with relevant standards. If an employee has to use more than one protective clothing at the same time, they should be compatible and effective with each other. In addition, protective clothing should be kept in good working order at all times.

This European standard describes the performance evaluation and test methods of materials used in the manufacture of chemical protective clothing, including gloves and shoes.

The EN 14325 standard mainly focuses on the following situation tests:

  • 4.4 Wear resistance
  • 4.5 Flexible cracking resistance
  • 4.7 Trapezoid tear resistance
  • 4.8 Explosion resistance
  • 4.9 Tensile strength
  • 4.10 Puncture resistance

In these tests, tests are carried out in accordance with the relevant standards first, and then the results are evaluated according to the tables in this standard. For example, abrasion resistance tests are first according to EN 530 (Martindale wear test), flexible cracking resistance according to EN ISO 7854, trapezoidal tear resistance according to EN ISO 9073-4, explosion resistance according to EN ISO 13938-1, tensile strength according to EN ISO. It should be tested according to the standard 13934-1 and puncture resistance according to the EN 863 standard.
