Abstract This standard gives the characteristics of clothing (both ventilated-pressurised and unventilated-unpressurised garments) protecting the wearer against all kinds of radioactive contamination. Annexes provide standard test methods for the determination of respiratory protection levels against aerosols provided by ventilated-pressurised garments, and for the measurement of leak-tightness and air supply flow rate of these garments. Annexes not forming integral parts of the standard provide information on internal ventilation systems, exhaust devices and on the selection and condition of use of this type of clothing.
