"Standard Specification for Arc Rated Eye or Face Protective Products"

This product specification is used to determine the arc rating and specify the requirements for products intended for use as eye or face protection for workers exposed to electric arcs. The arc rating is determined in the test with an arc which has a heat flux value of 2100 kW/m2 [50 cal/cm2/s]. Products are tested as sold.

"Standard Test Method for Determining the Initial Efficiency of Materials to Penetration by Particulates Using Latex Spheres"

This test method establishes procedures for measuring the initial particle filtration efficiency of materials using monodispersed aerosols.

"Standard Performance Specification for Labeling Protective Clothing Which Provides Resistance to Incidental Exposures to Heat or Open Flame"

This specification provides minimum requirements for labeling protective clothing offering heat, flame, and melting resistance for applications where the potential exists for incidental exposure to open flame, radiant heat sources, or hot surfaces which could melt or ignite materials.

"Standard Test Method for Measuring the Heat Removal Rate of Personal Cooling Systems Using a Sweating Heated Manikin"

Personal Cooling Systems (PCS) are used when wearers could be exposed to conditions that render the body’s thermoregulatory system inadequate to maintain body core temperature within a safe range. This test method covers the measurement of heat removal rate from a sweating heated manikin as well as the duration of cooling provided by a cooling garment, in order to assess the effectiveness of PCS.

"Standard Test Methods for Foot Protection"

These test methods contain requirements to evaluate the performance of footwear for the following: Impact resistance for the toe area of footwear (I); Compression resistance for the toe area of footwear (C); Metatarsal protection that reduces the chance of injury to the metatarsal bones at the top of the foot (Mt); Conductive properties which reduce hazards that may result from static electricity buildup, and reduce the possibility of ignition of explosives and volatile chemicals (Cd); Electric hazard to protect the wearer when accidentally stepping on live wires (EH); Static dissipative properties to reduce hazards that result in a build up of static charge where there is an underlying risk of accidental contact with live electrical circuits (SD); Puncture resistance footwear devices (PR).
