"Protective clothing - Gloves and arm guards protecting against cuts and stabs by hand knives - Part 3. Impact cut test for fabric, leather, and other materials"

This part of ISO 13999 specifies an impact cut test for use on fabric, leather and other materials used in protective clothing materials, gloves and arm guards. This test assesses the resistance of the test specimen to cutting by a sharp, straight knife-edge after the point of the test knife has perforated the test specimen. The length of the cut produced by the particular impact energy is proportional to the depth of penetration of the knife, which is easily measured. This test method provides information about the resistance of the product to stabbing cuts, slashing cuts, shearing cuts and impact cuts by acute edged objects that are not necessarily sharp. Abrasion by coarse sharp abraders such as road surfaces, concrete building blocks, or rough metal castings, is the superimposition of numerous small cuts. The results from this test give a good prediction of the resistance of products to these types of harsh abrasion. This test does not provide information about the resistance of the product to penetration by thorns or needles. Annex A of this part of ISO 13999 gives recommendations for the specification of impact cut tests on materials and products such as gloves and arm guards and gives the list of information which should be specified in the product standard in order to be able to apply this test.

"Protective clothing for automobile racing drivers -- Protection against heat and flame -- Performance requirements and test methods"

This international standard specifies test methods, performance requirements and design parameters for clothing for protection against heat and flame intended for drivers in automobile competitions. This International Standard concerns outer garments, under garments, socks, gloves and balaclava hoods. Shoes and helmets are excluded.

"Protective clothing for abrasive blasting operations using granular abrasives"

This European Standard specifies minimum requirements and test methods for protective clothing for abrasive blasting operations and for hand protection, for the treatment of surfaces with granular abrasives propelled by compressed air or by mechanical means. The protection against substances that develop during the blasting operation as well as connections between the protective clothing and the respiratory protective device are also covered. This European Standard does not apply to steam blasting, jet blasting and flame blasting operations.

"Immersion suits - Part 1: Constant wear suits, requirements including safety"

ISO 15027-1:2012 specifies performance and safety requirements for constant wear immersion suits for work and leisure activities to protect the body of a user against the effects of cold water immersion, such as cold shock and hypothermia. It is applicable for dry and wet constant wear immersion suits. Abandonment suits are not covered by ISO 15027-1:2012. Requirements for abandonment suits are given in ISO 15027-2. Test methods for immersion suits are given in ISO 15027-3.

"Immersion suits - Part 3: Test methods"

ISO 15027-3:2012 specifies the test methods for constant wear suits, including helicopter transit suits, and abandonment suits. Requirements for constant wear suits are given in ISO 15027-1:2012 and requirements for abandonment suits are given in ISO 15027-2:2012.
