BS ISO 17491-2:2012

Protective clothing. Test methods for clothing providing protection against chemicals. Determination of resistance to inward leakage of aerosols and gases (inward leakage test) | Status: Confirmed, Current

1 Scope This part of ISO 17491 specifies two different methods for determining the inward leakage of chemical protective suits in an aerosol environment (Method 1) or a gaseous environment (Method 2). The procedure is applicable to gas-tight suits and non-gas-tight suits and provides an evaluation of chemical protective suit integrity, particularly leakage in the breathing zone, under dynamic conditions through the use of human subjects.
