General requirements for protective clothing.
The general requirements for protective clothing are specified in international standard EN ISO 13688:2013. This standard specifies general performance requirements for ergonomics, innocuousness, size designation, ageing, compatibility and marking of protective clothing and the information to be supplied by the manufacturer with the protective clothing. Garments must be designed and manufactures to offer the user maximum comfort. The components and materials used must not damage the user or cause allergic reactions, irritation or injuries. Sizes range must have the body measurements.
Should be used in combination with another standard that includes specific protection requirements. Therefore, a CAT I, II or III garment should be certified to standard EN ISO 13688:2013+A1:2021 + another standard.
