EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, provides precise and fast testing services within the scope of EN ISO 17491-2 testing. This part of EN ISO 17491 specifies two different methods for determining the inward leakage of chemical protective clothing in an aerosol environment (Method 1) or in a gaseous environment (Method 2).
The procedure applies to gas-tight clothing and non-gas-tight clothing and provides an assessment of chemical protective clothing integrity under dynamic conditions through the use of human subjects, particularly leakage in the respiratory zone.
Chemical protective clothing is worn with appropriate respiratory protection devices to isolate the wearer's body from the environment. A variety of tests are available to determine the resistance of chemical protective clothing materials to the penetration or penetration of gaseous or liquid chemicals.
However, the effectiveness of the overall protective clothing item in preventing exposure to chemical hazards depends on the integrity of the clothing item design to prevent or reduce the inward leakage of chemicals. The selection of the appropriate integrity test method will depend on the application of the chemical protective clothing and the exposure hazards present. Usually the integrity test method will be specified in the general chemical protective clothing specification.
This International standard specifies six different test methods for determining the full protective clothing's resistance to the ingress of gaseous or liquid chemicals (protective clothing integrity). These test methods apply to liquid or gaseous chemicals or aerosols and vary in severity.
