The 2017 version needs revisions to align with the other parts of the 10256 series, currently awaiting publication.

This document specifies the minimum functional and performance requirements for respiratory infection prevention devices (RIPDs). RIPDs are intended to reduce the emission of infective agents from the user’s airways into the environment, and also reduce exposure to the user from inhalation of infective agents. RIPDs are intended for use by everybody.

This document specifies minimum performance classification and labelling requirements for protective clothing designed to provide protection against: - specified chemicals in the workplace, and - unidentified chemicals in emergency situations. Protective clothing against chemicals including solids, airborne particles, aerosols, liquids, and gases is addressed by this document. Protective clothing items covered by this document include full body and partial body. The area of protection is denoted in the marking requirements. The ISO 16602 series allows for a modular approach. This document sets the general requirements and the rules for applying the modular approach. The other parts focus on requirements and classification from design, chemical, physical properties and full garment testing perspectives. The seams, joins and assemblages attaching the components (including accessories) are included within the scope of this series of standards. ISO 16602-6 provides a Selection, Care and Maintenance guide to help the end-user selection process. Chemicals such as violently air sensitive reagents, unstable explosives and cryogenic liquids have not been considered since protection against these additional hazards is beyond the scope of this standard. Particulate protection is limited to physical penetration of the particulates only; permeation of solids is not considered. This document does not address components such as gloves, boots, eye/face protection devices and respiratory protective devices as their performance criteria are given in other standards. However, when these components are an integral part of the protective clothing ensemble or are tested as part of an ensemble, supplementary requirements may be provided in this standard. This document does not specifically address non-chemical hazards, such as biological and infective agents, thermal (flame, heat or cold) hazards, explosive hazards, and ionizing radiation hazards as specific requirements are covered by other relevant standards. The type of equipment specified in this series of standards is not intended for total immersion in liquids. However, additional protection may be integrated as a specific module based on the respective standard (e.g. meeting both ISO 16602-1 & ISO 11612 in a multi-risk suit). It is not the intent of this series of documents to be exhaustive and address all situations.

This document specifies the performance classification and test methods for materials used in chemical protective clothing, including gloves and footwear. The gloves and boots should have the same minimum chemical protective barrier performance requirements as the fabric when an integral part of the clothing. This is a reference standard to which chemical protective clothing performance standards may refer in whole or in part, but this standard is not exhaustive in the sense that other parts of ISO 16602 may well require testing according to test method standards which are not included in this standard. While these performance levels are intended to relate to the usage to which the chemical protective clothing is to be put, it is essential that the chemical protective clothing manufacturer or supplier indicates the intended use of the protective clothing. It is similarly important that the user (specifier) carries out a risk assessment in order to establish the correct protective performance levels for the intended task.

This document specifies minimum design and functional performance requirements for protective clothing against specified chemicals in the workplace and unidentified chemicals in emergency situations. These requirements cover all relevant parts of the ensemble which are attached/fitted to the chemical protective clothing for example garment, visor, gloves, boots or bootees, ventilation (non-breathing), and other design features. This document does not specifically address protection against biological, thermal (flame, heat or cold), and ionizing radiation hazards as specific requirements are covered by other relevant standards.

SO 16602:2007 establishes minimum performance classification and labelling requirements for protective clothing designed to provide protection against chemicals. Protective clothing items covered by ISO 16602:2007 include, but may not be limited to, totally encapsulating suits, liquid-tight or spray-tight suits, coveralls, jackets, trousers, aprons, smocks, hoods, sleeves, and shoe and boot covers. Chemical protective clothing for protection against airborne particles is addressed by ISO 13982-1, which is referenced in ISO 16602:2007. ISO 16602:2007 does not address protection against solid chemicals in forms other than airborne solid particulates (e.g. it does not address the challenge of penetration of chemical dust and powders through materials and clothing by rubbing or flexing or by simple direct contact of dust or powders onto the clothing surface). ISO 16602:2007 does not address gloves, boots, eye/face protection devices and respiratory protective devices unless they are an integral part of the protective clothing. ISO 16602:2007 does not address protection against biological or thermal (hot or cold) hazards, ionizing radiation, or radioactive contamination. ISO 16602:2007 also does not address the specialized clothing used in hazardous chemical emergencies. ISO 16602:2007 is intended to provide chemical protective clothing manufacturers with minimum requirements for testing, classifying, and labelling chemical protective clothing. To assist the users of products covered under ISO 16602:2007, this document provides descriptions of referenced test methods, guidelines for conducting hazard and risk assessments and suggested performance levels for certain applications. It is not the intent of ISO 16602:2007 to address all situations.

This document addresses the selection, use, care and maintenance (SUCAM) of chemical protective clothing (CPC). This guidance document is primarily intended for users, specifiers and others with responsibility for the procurement and provision of chemical protective clothing. It is also intended to be used by manufacturers in their dialogue with the users of PPE. This guidance document is intended to clarify the inter-relationship between this ISO 16602 series of standards and its modular approach, ISO 17723-1 but also how this links to the old classification of CPC. These guidelines are intended to assist users and specifiers in selecting the correct type of CPC for the task to be performed, and to help them ensure it is used according to the manufacturer's instructions to provide adequate chemical protection (including solids, airborne particles, aerosols, liquids, and gases (including radioactive contamination)) during its entire lifetime. Lifetime and effectiveness of protective clothing depend largely on care and maintenance. When cleaning, disinfection and end-of-life disposal are considered the environmental impact should also be taken into account. To assist the users of products covered under this document, this document provides descriptions of referenced test methods, guidelines for conducting hazard and risk assessments and suggested performance levels for certain applications. It is not the intent of this document to address all situations. NOTE Although this document has been created as a stand-alone document covering ISO 16602-1 through ISO 16602-5, it is strongly recommended to read this guidance in conjunction with ISO 16602-1 (if not the other parts) to understand the detail of the requirements.

This document specifies methods of test and minimum performance requirements for personal protective clothing, designed to protect the wearer's body, except for the head, hands, and feet, that is worn during wildland firefighting and associated activities. This clothing is not intended to provide protection during fire entrapment. This document covers the general design of the garment, the minimum level of performance for the materials employed and the methods of test to determine these levels. This document is not applicable to clothing for use in situations encountered in structural firefighting (EN 469 or ISO 11999-3), rescue (ISO 18639) or where a high level of infrared radiation is expected (ISO 15538 or EN 1486), nor does this document cover clothing to protect against chemical, biological, electrical or radiation hazards. This document does not provide protection against high mechanical risks such as for protection when using chain saws.

This document specifies a list of terms connected to personal fall protection equipment standards. The terms are listed in the alphabetical order in the three official languages of CEN, English, German and French.

This document specifies requirements and test methods for materials and seams of re-usable and single use protective clothing providing protection of the wearer against infective biological agents. Design criteria, mechanical requirements, and functional fit requirements are basd on either ISO 16602 series or by the ISO 20384 as indicated in this document, while the barrier properties of this document will be additive to ensure the protection against infective biological agents. NOTE This standard is a standalone standard but using requirements based on ISO 16602 series and ISO 20384. For products intended for the dual use as both a PPE and as a medical gown, both this document and the ISO 20384 shall apply. Clothing worn by surgical teams or drapes laid on patients to prevent cross-contamination during surgical interventions are not covered by the scope of this document, but are covered solely by ISO 20384. This document not applicable to components such as gloves, boots, eye/face protection devices and respiratory protective devices as their performance criteria are given in other standards. However, when these components are either an integral part of the protective clothing ensemble or are tested separately as partial body protection, supplementary requirements are provided in this standard. This document does not cover requirements for antimicrobial treatments for protective clothing.
