CONTAINED IN VOL. 11.03, 2017 Gives a recommended list of both liquid and gaseous chemicals for evaluating protective clothing materials in testing programs.

1.1 The purpose of this guide is to provide a recommended list of both liquid and gaseous chemicals for evaluating protective clothing materials in testing programs.

1.2 Results derived from testing programs using these lists of test chemicals are not intended for the definitive characterization of protective clothing materials.

1.3 This list of test chemicals is not inclusive of all chemical challenges; the chemicals were chosen to represent broad ranges of liquid and gaseous chemical classes and properties. Not all chemical classes are represented. Other chemicals, especially those of interest to the manufacturer or user, should be tested in addition to those recommended in this guide.

1.4 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
