scope:

The standard specifies a method for determining the resistance of clothing to penetration by sprays of chemicals. The method is not applicable to materials but to clothing which may comprise one or more items and which is intended to be worn when there is a risk of exposure to slight splashes of chemicals or to spray particles that coalesce and run off. The method is applicable to clothing which is intended to be resistant to penetration under conditions which require total body surface cover, but do not demand the wearing of gas-tight clothing.
