EN 14605:2005

This European Standard specifies the minimum requirements for the following types of limited use and reusable chemical protective clothing:- clothing with liquid-tight connections between different parts of the clothing (type 3: liquid-tight clothing) and, if applicable, with liquid-tight connections to component parts, such as hoods, gloves, boots, visors or respiratory protective equipment, which may be specified in other European Standards. Such garments are full-body protective clothing, such as one-piece coveralls or two-piece suits, with or without hood or visors, with or without boot-socks or overbooties, with or without gloves;- clothing with spray-tight connections between different parts of the clothing (type 4: spray-tight clothing) and, if applicable, spray-tight connections to component parts, such as hoods, gloves, boots, visors or respiratory protective equipment, which may be specified in other European Standards. Such garments are full-body protective clothing, such as one-piece coveralls or two-piece suits, with or without hood or visors, with or without boot-socks or overbooties, with or without gloves;- garments offering protection to specified parts of the body against permeation of chemical liquids (partial body chemical protective clothing). Such garments are e.g. laboratory coats, jackets, trousers, aprons, sleeves, hoods (not air-supplied) etc. As partial body protective garments leave part of the body unprotected this standard specifies only the performance requirements of the clothing material and the seams.NOTEPartial body chemical protective garments which offer only protection against penetration of chemical liquids are within the scope of prEN 13034 (type 6 clothing).
