Publication date:   Jul 3, 2025

Scope

This document specifies the chemical performance classification and test methods for materials used in
chemical protective clothing, including gloves and footwear. The gloves and boots should have the same
minimum chemical protective barrier requirements as the fabric when they are an integral part of the
clothing.
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.
