Standards Compliance

AirTec Onyx III (Red) outer meets the following chemical and visibility standards:

AS/NZS 6530:2006 Protective Clothing Protection against liquid chemicals test method for resistance of materials to penetration by liquids.

EN471:2003 High visibility clothing for professional use.

AirTec Flamegard Carbon III (Orange) meets the following standards:

AS/NZS 6530:2006 Protective Clothing Protection against liquid chemicals test method for resistance of materials to penetration by liquids.

EN533:1997 Index 1 rating (index 1 materials cannot be used directly against the skin. Only use over index 2 or 3 materials.

EN1149-3 Method 2 antistatic requirements for clothing. This test method is for measurement of charge decay. This means a charge across or through a material leading to a reduction of charge density. Test method 2 measures the strength of the electric field on a recording device.

Other Standards

ISO 6530 - 2005

Standard Identifier: Protective clothing. Protection against liquid chemicals. Test method for resistance of materials to penetration by liquids. This ISO internationally-recognised test performance method is a measurement of chemical penetration, absorption and repellency for chemical fabrics and materials.

Chemical Test Standard ASTM F903-03 Performance Results

Resistance of materials used in protective clothing to penetration by liquids.

Procedure C: 0 psig for 5 minutes followed by 2psig (13.8kPa) for 1 minutes followed by 0psig for 54 minutes

Samples of the fabric are clamped over a PTFE test cell and held vertically so that the face of the fabric forms one side of the cell. The cell is filled with the test liquid and a stopwatch started. At all times the fabric is observed for penetration by the liquid.

The fabric is said to fail if a droplet of liquid appears indicating penetration of liquid through to the viewing side of the specimen. Identification of penetration of droplets is effected by use of blotting paper.
