"Personal eye-protectors -- Synoptic tables of requirements for oculars and eye-protectors"

Provides a survey of the requirements which have to be met by the various types as well as by the combination on them with the exception of filters as protectors against laser radiation, specifications of which are given in ISO 6161. Requirements to be met by the different types of oculars are given in table 1, requirements for frames and mounted oculars are given in table 2.

"Acoustics -- Hearing protectors -- Part 2: Estimation of effective A-weighted sound pressure levels when hearing protectors are worn"

Describes three methods (the octave-band, HML and SNR methods) for estimating the A-weighted sound pressure levels effective when hearing protectors are worn. The methods are applicable to either the sound pressure level or the equivalent continuous sound pressure level of the noise. Although primarily intended for steady noise exposures, the methods are also applicable to noises containing impulsive components. They are not suitable for use with peak sound pressure level measurements.

"Moulded plastics footwear - Lined or unlined polyurethane boots for general industrial use - Specification"

Specifies requirements, physical properties and marking. Gives the measurement of thickness (Annex A), the resistance to flexing of the upper material (Annex B), the flexing test of soling material (Annex C), strength test (Annex D), test pieces (Annex E) and boot heights (Annex F).

"Protective clothing -- Protection against chemicals -- Determination of resistance of protective clothing materials to permeation by liquids and gases"

ISO 6529:2013 describes laboratory test methods to determine the resistance of materials used in protective clothing, including gloves and including footwear, when the footwear is an integral part of the clothing, to permeation by liquid or gaseous chemicals under the conditions of either continuous or intermittent contact. Method A is applicable to testing against liquid chemicals, either volatile or soluble in water, expected to be in continuous contact with the protective clothing material. Method B is applicable to testing against gaseous chemicals expected to be in continuous contact with the protective clothing material. Method C is applicable to testing against gaseous and liquid chemicals, either volatile or soluble in water, expected to be in intermittent contact with the protective clothing material. These test methods assess the permeation resistance of the protective clothing material under laboratory conditions in terms of breakthrough time, permeation rate and cumulative permeation. These test methods also enable qualitative observations to be made of the effects of the test chemical on the material under test. These test methods are only suitable for measuring permeation by liquids and gases. These test methods address only the performance of materials or certain materials' constructions (e.g. seams).

"Protective clothing -- Protection against heat and fire -- Method of test: Evaluation of materials and material assemblies when exposed to a source of radiant heat"

ISO 6942 specifies two complementary methods (method A and method B) for determining the behavior of materials for heat protective clothing subjected to heat radiation. These tests are carried out on representative single or multi-layer textiles or other materials intended for clothing for protection against heat. They are also applicable to assemblies, which correspond to the overall build up of a heat protective clothing assembly with or without underclothing. Method A serves for visual assessment of any changes in the material after the action of heat radiation. With method B, the protective effect of the materials is determined. The materials may be tested either by both methods or only by one of them. The tests carried out according to these two methods serve to classify materials; however, to be able to make a statement or prediction as to the suitability of a material for protective clothing, it is necessary to take into account additional criteria. Since the tests are carried out at room temperature, the results do not necessarily correspond to the behavior of the materials at higher ambient temperatures and therefore are only to a limited extent suitable for predicting the performance of the protective clothing made from the materials under test.
