Developed by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI), the ANSI PB70 standard describes the liquid barrier performance and classification of protective clothing. The full name of this standard, which was released in 2012, is as follows: ANSI / AAMI PB70 Liquid barrier performance and classification of protective clothing and covers designed for use in health barriers.
The standard in question introduces a classification system for protective clothing and drapes used in healthcare facilities based on their fluid barrier performance. It also describes labeling requirements and standard test methods to determine compliance with this standard.
This standard, which provides a consistent basis for the testing and labeling of protective clothing and covers, provides a common understanding of barrier properties, for example activities against liquid or liquid-borne microorganism penetration based on the new classification system.
This standard is designed to determine reference points for evaluating protective gowns and surgical drapes used in healthcare facilities. These objective criteria help organizations easily standardize the choice of protective gowns and choose the most appropriate protection at a glance.
The main tests applied within the framework of the standard are:
Within the framework of laboratory testing services, our organization also provides standard test services for the resistance of materials used in protective clothing to benetration with blood borne pathogens, using ASTM F1671 Phi-X174 Bacteriophage penetration as a testing system.
