UNE-EN 14325:2018

This European Standard specifies the performance classification and test methods for materials used in chemical protective clothing, including gloves and including footwear, when the footwear is an integral part of the clothing, and for seams, joins and assemblages. This is a reference standard to which chemical protective clothing performance standards may refer in whole or in part, but this standard is not exhaustive in the sense that product standards may well require testing according to test method standards which are not included in this standard.For some of the test method standards for chemical protective clothing referenced in this European Standard, this European Standard modifies the requirements for conditioning, sampling, calculation of test results and reporting. At these instances this standard takes precedence over the referenced test method standards.NOTE While these performance levels are intended to relate to the usage to which the chemical protective clothing is to be put, it is essential that the chemical protective clothing manufacturer or supplier indicate the intended use of the protective clothing and that the user (specifier) carries out a risk assessment in order to establish the correct performance level for the intended task. This should be included as a mandatory requirement in the information to be supplied by the manufacturer in the product standard.
