This document specifies methods for flame tests to be applied to respiratory protective devices.

This document specifies requirements and test methods for eyewear intended for surface swimming only. It contains requirements for eyewear for both recreational and specialist competitive swimming. It deals with materials, construction, optical properties and test methods.

Requirements for the labelling and marking of swimming eyewear and for information to be supplied by the manufacturer are also specified.

Eyewear intended for surface swimming conforming to the requirements of this standard are suitable for surface use and shallow diving only, e.g. from the edge of a pool, and are not suitable for wear when diving from a high board.

This standard applies to eyewear that include:

a) non-prescription nominally plano or afocal lenses,

b) non-prescription mass-produced corrective lenses, and

c) prescription lenses.

This International Standard specifies general performance requirements for ergonomics, innocuousness,

size designation, ageing, compatibility and marking of protective clothing and the information to be

supplied by the manufacturer with the protective clothing.

This International Standard is only intended to be used in combination with other standards containing

requirements for specific protective performance and not on a stand-alone basis.

This document specifies general requirements for the performance and testing of respiratory protective devices (RPD) in accordance with their classification and for use in the workplace to protect the wearer from hazardous atmospheres and/or environments.

The requirements are based on human factors and are for complete respiratory systems.

Requirements for marking and information supplied by the RPD manufacturer are also included.

Special application such as fire services, marine, mining, abrasive blasting, welding and escape as well as RN (Radiological, Nuclear), RN Escape, CBRN (Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear) and CBRN Escape RPD are addressed in separate parts of ISO 17420.

This document does not apply to respiratory devices for:

— underwater diving application;

— military application;

— use in aircraft and spacecraft;

— medical life support applications;

— resuscitators.

This document specifies requirements for the performance and testing of filtering respiratory protective devices (RPD) in accordance with their classification and for use in the workplace to protect the wearer from hazardous atmospheres and/or environments.

Requirements for RPD elements and components are also specified in this document.

This document specifies requirements for the performance and testing of supplied breathable gas respiratory protective devices (RPD) in accordance with their classification and for use in the workplace to protect the wearer from hazardous atmospheres and/or environments.
