When working in environments where there’s a risk of chemical splashes, having the right protective clothing can make all the difference. EN 13034 is the European standard that defines requirements for protective clothing against liquid chemicals, ensuring workers are shielded from hazardous splashes and sprays.
What is EN 13034?
EN 13034 covers Type 6 and PB (6) chemical protective clothing. These garments provide limited protective performance against small quantities of liquid chemicals, making them ideal for situations where a complete chemical suit is not necessary.
Type 6: Full-body protection against light sprays, liquid aerosols, or low-pressure jets.
PB (6): Partial body protection (e.g., jackets, aprons, or sleeves) for the same risk level.
Key Applications
EN 13034 garments are widely used in industries such as:
-
Oil & Gas – for chemical handling during maintenance and processing.
-
Electric Utilities – for protection from cleaning chemicals and accidental splashes.
-
New Energy & Manufacturing – during battery production or lab processes involving hazardous liquids.
Performance Requirements
To meet EN 13034, garments undergo testing for:
-
Resistance to penetration by chemicals.
-
Seam strength and durability.
-
Repellency to various liquid chemicals.
These standards ensure workers are protected while still maintaining comfort and mobility—critical for high-intensity tasks.
