EN 465 Protective Clothing - Standard Test Method for Protection against Liquid Chemicals (Type 4 Equipment)

EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, provides precise and fast testing services within the scope of EN 465 testing. This standard specifies minimum requirements for spray-proof chemical protective clothing with sealed connections between the different parts of the suit, and gloves and boots to protect the wearer against liquid chemicals. It specifies performance requirements for both the materials of construction of the protective suit and the suit as a whole.

If risks to the wearer are associated with the occasional splash of corrosive and non-volatile chemicals, type 4 chemical protective clothing when worn with protective boots, gloves and a visor is sufficient. This clothing and protective equipment provides adequate protection against commonly encountered acids and alkalis.

Full body protective clothing (Type 4: waterproof suit) with waterproof connections between the different parts of the suit and, if applicable, waterproof connections to component parts such as headgear, gloves, boots, visors or respiratory tract covers protective equipment that may be specified in other European standards.
