EN 1073-2
SPRAY TIGHT SUITS
AGAINST RADIOACTIVE
CONTAMINATION
Determination of resistance to penetration by
liquid spray:
TYPE 4
• Four nozzles with general overspray of liquid without
penetration on coverall.
EN 1073-2
• Low surface tension of liquid sprays being tested on whole
garment to experiment saturation of fabric.
• The standard was developed to be applied in nuclear industry with
no protection against ionizing radiation.
• The test follows the same protocols as Type 5 test with difference
judgement criteria.
• Fabric, seams and joints being tested without pressurized
liquid spray.
TYPE 5
Determination of inward leakage of aerosols and
solid particles:
• Three classifications indicate different protection level.
TYPE 5 EN ISO 13982-1
EN ISO 14116
PARTICULATE TIGHT SUITS
FLAME RETARDANT TEST
Determination of inward leakage of aerosols and
solid particles:
• To check whether the fabric/materials burn while contacting
heat source.
• Spray cabin filled with particles.
• The test is performed by real person, aims to simulate daily use.
EN ISO 14116
• Subject (real person) performs three exercises on treadmill.

TEST
METHOD
• To check whether the fabric stops flame spreading if burned.
• Requirements for limited flame spread Index 1 including no
spreading of the flame, no flaming debris, no afterglow, a hole
may be formed.
• Particle inward leakage (IL) and total inward leakage
(TIL) must meet test requirements.
EN 14126
AGAINST BIOLOGICAL HAZARDS
REDUCED SPRAY SUITS
• The standards specifies a set of requirements and test methods to measure the fabric protection against infective agents.
Determination of resistance to penetration by
reduced liquid spray:
TYPE 6
• ISO 16603, ISO 16604, ISO/DIS 22611 determines penetration by blood, body fluids, blood borne and biologically contaminated aerosol.
EN 14126
• Four nozzles with general overspray of liquid without penetration
on coverall.
• ISO 22612, ISO 22610 determines the resistance of dry and wet microbial penetration.
EN 1149-5
• Low surface tension of liquid sprays being tested on whole
garment to experiment saturation of fabric.
• Fabric, seams and joints being tested without pressurized liquid spray.
ANTISTATIC
• About 40% of the liquid spray is loaded onto the suit compared
with Type 4 test.
• The standards specifies a set of requirements and test methods to measure the fabric protection against static electricity or charge decay.
• Electrostatic resistance is required when the worker is exposed to environments where sparks could cause explosions or ignition.
EN 1149-5
• Coveralls according to this standard do not offer protection from main voltages.
DIN 32781
AGAINST PESTICIDES
• The test standard covers requirements in chemical penetration, fabric strength and ergonomics.

• Five different pesticides including U46-D-Fluid (BASF), Pirimor Granulat (Syngenta), Amistar (Syngenta), Betanal Expert (Bayer), Folicur (Bayer)
are tested to ensure protection against pesticides.
