In the EN ISO 13688 standard published by the International Standards Institute (ISO), the general performance requirements for ergonomics, harmlessness, size, size determination, aging, compatibility and marking of protective clothing and the information to be provided by the manufacturer regarding protective clothing are explained. This standard is designed to be used not alone, but only in conjunction with other relevant standards that contain requirements for certain protective performance. This standard has been published in our country by the Turkish Standards Institute (TSE) with the following title: EN ISO 13688 Protective clothing - General characteristics. This standard replaces the previously published EN 340 European standard.
This international standard has been prepared as a reference standard to be appropriately called by certain standards. Otherwise, it is not intended to be used alone. It is used in conjunction with an appropriate standard that contains requirements for the specific performance of any equipment used for protection.
There are different types of danger depending on the sector in which it operates. For example, chemical hazards, cold hazards, heat and fire hazards, mechanical hazards, biological agent hazards, or radiation hazards. Depending on the circumstances, some of these hazards arise from other hazards. Therefore, there are a number of hazards involved, each with separate test methods. Special clothing has been designed to provide protection against dangers encountered in certain types of activity. For example, trousers for use with chainsaws, aprons that protect against hand knives, special clothing that protect against chemicals, or high-visibility clothing.
The EN ISO 13688 standard also includes some basic health and ergonomic requirements regarding many types of protective clothing. Protective clothing should adversely affect the health or hygiene of the user. Materials used in manufacture should not release substances generally known to be toxic, carcinogenic, mutagenic, allergenic or otherwise harmful under normal use under predictable conditions.
