Abstract This standard (effective 1 July 1986) establishes gravimetric and gas chromatographic methods to be used for determining the penetration coefficient of organic solvents (benzene, acetone, chloroform, etc.) and covers all sorts of protective gloves. The gravimetric method is based on the measurement of the solvent mass that penetrates the sample. The gas chromatographic method is based on the measurement of the concentration of solvent that penetrates the sample, with subsequent thermal desorption. The application of the method and the penetration coefficient are governed by standards and technical documentation on the distinct types of material (non-reinforced latex or reinforced knitted fabric). The method is intended for the design of hand and arm protection equipment made from natural and synthetic latex. Contents: method of sample selection; test equipment; materials and reagents; preparation for testing; method of testing; evaluation of the results. A method for determining the calibration coefficient of the chromatograph is appended.
