In industries dealing with chemicals, solvents, or hazardous liquids, protecting workers from splash hazards is critical. EN 13034 Type PB [6] is the international standard for limited chemical splash protection, ensuring that FR and IFR garments provide an effective barrier while maintaining comfort and durability.
EN 13034 defines requirements for chemical protective clothing (CPC) against liquid chemicals. The Type PB [6] classification ensures garments:
Offer limited protection against liquid chemical splashes
Maintain fabric integrity under exposure
Are suitable for industrial use in labs, chemical plants, oil & gas, and manufacturing facilities
Unlike heavy chemical suits, Type PB [6] garments are lightweight and comfortable, making them ideal for daily wear over FR or IFR workwear.
1. Worker Safety – Provides an additional barrier to prevent chemical burns or contamination.
2. Layered Protection – Can be combined with EN ISO 14116 Index 3 or EN ISO 11612 FR garments for a full protective system.
3. Regulatory Compliance – Ensures clothing meets European chemical PPE standards, reducing workplace liability.
4. Practicality – Lightweight design allows for freedom of movement and extended wear in industrial settings.
FR Garments: Treated fabrics can be overlaid with Type PB [6] protective garments for splash protection.
IFR Garments: Inherently flame-resistant fibers maintain long-term flame protection, even when combined with chemical splash overgarments.
This combination ensures dual protection against fire and chemical hazards, critical in oil & gas, petrochemical, and chemical manufacturing industries.
