This safety specification establishes the performance requirements for tipover restraint(s) used with clothing storage unit(s). It is intended to assess the strength of the tipover restraint only, and does not address the in situ performance of the tipover restraint. This...
1.1 This test method covers the physiological measurement of internal body core temperature, skin temperature, thermal exposure time, heart rate response, oxygen consumption, and whole body sweat rate, to assess the effectiveness of personal cooling systems (PCS) in reducing the effects of thermal...
5.1 The measurement of the resistance to abrasion of textile and other materials is very complex and may be affected by a number of factors, including: 5.1.1 The inherent mechanical properties of the fibers; the dimensions of the fibers; the structure of the yarns; the construction of the fabrics;...
This Technical Report gives recommendations for the design and manufacture of safe children's clothing in relation to mechanical hazards. This Technical Report also gives recommendations on safety aspects of the packaging and display of children's clothing, including guidance...
5.1 Workers who have the potential to be exposed to molten metal contact shall be permitted to wear protective clothing using materials that have been evaluated for heat transfer using this test method. 5.2 This test method rates materials that are intended for primary protective...
5.1 This test method is intended for the determination of a thermal performance estimate value of a material, a combination of materials, or a comparison of different materials used in flame-resistant clothing for workers exposed to combined convective and radiant thermal hazards. 5.2 This...
This standard shall specify the minimum design, performance, testing, and certification requirements for protective clothing and equipment items, including full body suits, helmets, gloves, footwear, and personal flotation devices designed to provide limited protection from physical,...
IEC 60895:2020 is applicable to conductive clothing, worn during live working (especially bare-hand working) on AC and DC electrical installations, to provide electrical continuity between all parts of the clothing and a reduction of electric field inside the clothing. This...
5.1 Writers of PPE specifications produce requirements to mitigate defined personal safety and health hazards. 5.2 The users and wearers of PPE expect that these products will perform in conformance with stated specifications to help mitigate personal hazard(s). 5.3 Conformity assessment...
5.1 This test method is used to evaluate the heat resistance of materials, clothing, and equipment when exposed to heat in a hot air circulating oven. The principal findings of this test method are observations of the specimen response to the heat exposure. 5.1.1 The majority of procedures...
This document is applicable to conductive clothing, worn during live working (especially barehand working) on AC and DC electrical installations, to provide electrical continuity between all parts of the clothing and a reduction of electric field inside the clothing. This...
4.1 It is possible that the user of FR protective clothing will experience repeated exposures to hot air as part of the work environment. While these individual exposures are not likely to pose a catastrophic threat, the cumulative effect of these exposures are likely to reduce the level of...
This practice is intended to assist in size selection of work uniforms for fire and rescue services personnel and workers who have the potential to be exposed to thermal hazards. Work uniform ensembles consist of a shirt and trouser apparel combination. This practice does not apply to thermal...
This standard shall specify the minimum design, performance, testing, and certification requirements for protective clothing and equipment items, including dry suit, dry suit gloves and dry suit footwear designed to provide limited protection from physical, environmental and certain chemical...
