This European Standard specifies the minimum requirements, test methods, marking and information supplied
by the manufacturer for the following ventilated and non-ventilated limited use and re-usable chemical protective
suits, including component parts such as gloves and boots which can be specified elsewhere.
Type 1 - "gas-tight" chemical protective suit
Type 1a - "gas-tight" chemical protective suit with a breathable air supply independent of the ambient
atmosphere, e.g. a self-contained open-circuit compressed air breathing apparatus, worn inside the
chemical protective suit.
Type 1b - "gas-tight" chemical protective suit with a breathable air supply, e.g. a self-contained opencircuit
compressed air breathing apparatus, worn outside the chemical protective suit.
NOTE As chemical protective suits are used with respiratory devices, special attention should be given to the
adequate selection of respiratory protective equipment. The limiting factors for the use of respirator filters (e.g. oxygen
deficiency) should be taken into consideration.
Type 1c - "gas-tight" chemical protective suit with breathable air providing positive pressure, e.g. air
lines.
Type 2 -non-gas tight chemical protective suit
"Non-gas-tight" chemical protective suit with breathable air providing positive pressure.

Festgelegt sind Mindestanforderungen an eine gasdichte Chemikalienschutzkleidung einschließlich der Bestandteile wie Schutzhandschuhe und Schutzschuhe. Diese unbelüftete Chemikalienschutzkleidung wird mit einer Atemluftversorgung benutzt, die unabhängig von der Umge- bungsatmospähre ist, z.B. einem Preßluftatmer nach EN 137, der über der Schutzkleidung getragen wird.
