jet of liquid
• The principle of this test method is that a jet of
water, containing a fluorescent or visible dye
tracer, is directed under controlled conditions
at chemical protective clothing worn by a
human test subject.
13
15. EN 17491-3 - Jet Test Method
• Part 1: Prior to entering the test
chamber:
a series of movements, including
climbing a ladder and crawling on the
floor are performed to check the
whole suit doesn’t split or tear.
• Part 2: Then enters the chamber:
stands on a rotating platform. (The
platform turns at 360º/min), ) A series
of short jets directed at the coverall.
By low surface tension of water 30-35
m N/m, at pressures 3 Bar. There is a
1m gap between the jet nozzle and
the test subject.14
16. EN 17491-3 - Jet Test Requirement
Pass or Fail Criteria:
If any penetration is greater
than 3 times the total

area produced by 0.02 ml of the
test liquid.

and all 3 must pass!
15
17. EN 17491-4 - Spray Test for Type 4

20. EN 17491-4 Spray Test for Type 6
• As with Type 4 clothing, Type 6 suits must pass a “Spray
Test” in accordance with EN 17491-4: 2008
• Type 6 clothing is designed for garments which provide
resistance to light “reduced spray” by EN 17491-4
method:A.
• The modifications ensure that only about 40% of the
liquid sprayed is loaded onto the suit, compared to the
full level spray test of EN 17491-4 method: B for Type 4
clothing.

the full body against airborne solid
particulates (type 5 clothing)
• EN ISO 13982-2:2004
Specifies a test method to determine the
barrier efficiency of chemical protective
clothing against aerosols of dry, fine dusts.
• This test is performed using “real people”
and is designed to simulate everyday use.
• At least 5 test subjects are involved, each
testing 2 suits. So at least 10 suits are
tested.
22
25. EN ISO 13982-2 Test Method
• Part 1: Prior to entering the test chamber the test subject (real
person) is asked to repeat the following sequence of movements 3
times at what is termed “normal working speed”:
1. Kneel on both knees, lean forward and place both hands on the
floor 45cm in front of the knees. Crawl forward on hands and knees
over a distance of 3m and crawl backwards again over the same
distance
2. Stand with feet shoulder width apart, arms at side. Raise arms until
they are parallel to the floor in front of the body. Squat down as far
as possible.
3. Kneel on right knee, place left foot on floor with left knee bent 90º,
left arm hanging loosely at side. Raise left arm fully overhead.
24
26. EN ISO 13982-2 Test Method
• Part 2: On entering the test chamber the test subject is asked to
perform various test exercises in sequence.
1. Standing still
2. Walking at 5 km/h
3. Continuous squatting at a frequency of five squats per minute,
between standing up straight and knees completely bent, while
keeping both hands during all squats on a grip at a height of 1m
(+/-0.05m) above the standing surface.
4. A 3 min rest is allowed (standing still) between the walking and
squatting exercises.
25
27. EN ISO 13982-2 Requirement
Part 2 Requirement:
Throughout the process various measurements are
taken on the concentration of particulates inside and
outside of the suit.
A calculation is then used to ascertain the inward
leakage during each test (IL) and the total inward
leakage (TILS) of particles into the suit.
The test agent used is Sodium chloride aerosol.
