General Information
Respirex limited use one-piece chemical protective coveralls conform to the following European standards:
• EN 14605:2005+A1:2009 Type3, Type 4
Protective clothing against liquid chemicals - clothing with liquid-tight or spray-tight connections
• EN ISO 13982-1:2004+A1:2010 Type 5
Protective clothing against solid particulates
• EN 13034:2005+A1:2009 Type 6
Protective clothing offering limited protective performance against liquid chemicals
• EN 14126:2003 Type 3-B, Type 4-B, Type 5-B and Type 6-B
Protective clothing against infective agents
• EN 1149-5:2008
Protective clothing - Electrostatic properties
The European standards above specify the performance requirements for the materials of construction (e.g. abrasion resistance,
tear resistance, etc.) and for the suit as a whole (e.g. resistance to penetration by liquids). One-piece coveralls are CE marked
to indicate compliance with the basic safety requirements under Article 10 and 11B of the European directive 89/686/EEC on
personal protective equipment (PPE).
Respirex one-piece chemical protective coveralls are manufactured from high performance CHEMPROTEX™ 300 material
engineered for use in chemical protective clothing.
CHEMPROTEX™ 300 offers protection in a wide range of applications including:
• Chemical handling
• Hazardous waste clean-up
• Paint spraying
• Pharmaceutical manufacturing and / or packaging
• Military applications
• Disease and disaster management
• Emergency response services, spill clean-up and accident interventions
"Limited-use" protective clothing is made to provide the full level of protection as needed for limited wear life usage and
comparable to the protection provided by "re-useable" protective garments complying with EN14605. Limited-use clothing is
typically employed to be worn until hygienic cleaning becomes necessary or limited use chemical contamination has occurred and
disposal is required. This includes protective clothing for single use and for limited re-use.
Warnings & Limitations
Only for use by trained competent personnel
• Exposure to certain very fine particles, intensive liquid sprays and splashes of hazardous substances may require protective
clothing of higher mechanical strength and barrier properties than those offered by the limited-use chemical protective
coveralls
• Limited-use chemical protective coveralls are designed for single use only, Respirex cannot guarantee the integrity or
performance characteristics of coveralls that have seen multiple cycles of usage
• Limited-use chemical protective coveralls should not be used in areas immediately dangerous to life or health (IDLH) or in
environments where there is a high risk of puncture occurring
• If coveralls are heavily contaminated or mechanically damaged in any way they MUST NOT be used and MUST be disposed of
• Never modify or alter this product
• Before selecting appropriate protective clothing a detailed assessment of the nature of the hazard and the working
environment should be undertaken. There are different factors such as concentration, temperature, pressure and other
environmental influences that have significant influence on the barrier properties of limited-use chemical protective coveralls
• Please ensure that you have chosen suitable PPE for your application. The user shall be the sole judge for the correct
combination of full body protective coverall, ancillary equipment (gloves, boots, respiratory equipment, etc.), how long a
limited-use chemical protective coverall can be worn on a specific application with respect to its protective performance and
wear comfort or heat stress
• Materials that may come into contact with the wearer's skin are not known to cause allergic reactions to the majority of
individuals. These products contain no components made from natural rubber latex
• To achieve proper electrostatic dissipative performance, the person wearing the coveralls shall be properly earthed. The
resistance between the person and the earth shall be less than 108Ω, e.g. by wearing adequate footwear
• Electrostatic dissipative clothing should not be worn in oxygen enriched atmospheres without prior approval by a
responsible safety engineer
• The electrostatic dissipative performance of the suit can be affected by wear and tear and possible contamination
