BS EN 14786:2006 Protective clothing - Determination of resistance to penetration by sprayed liquid chemicals, emulsions and dispersions - Atomizer test
This European Standard specifies a test method to determine the resistance of textile materials against
penetration by atomized liquid chemicals, emulsions and dispersions. These materials are intended to be
used in both limited-use and reusable protective clothing.
The penetration is expressed in percent, as ratio of the amounts of chemical applied and retained by the
textile. The methods of quantitative physico-chemical analysis used for mass detection will depend on the
chemical under test.
