BS EN 343-2019 Protective clothing – Protection against rain

BS EN 343-2019 Protective clothing – Protection against rain. This document specifies requirements and test methods for the performance of materials and ready- made garments for protection against the effects of precipitation (e.g. rain, snowflakes), fog and ground humidity. Garments for protection against other effects than precipitation (e.g. water splashes, waves) are excluded from this standard. The protective effects and requirements of footwear, gloves and separate headwear are excluded from the scope of this document. 2 Normative references The following documents are referred to in the text in such a way that some or all of their content constitutes requirements ol this document.
