Protective clothing for protection against chemicals - Classification, labelling and performance requirements - Part 1: General requirements (ISO/DIS 16602-1:2025)

This document specifies minimum performance classification and labelling requirements for protective clothing designed to provide protection against: - specified chemicals in the workplace, and - unidentified chemicals in emergency situations. Protective clothing against chemicals including solids, airborne particles, aerosols, liquids, and gases is addressed by this document. Protective clothing items covered by this document include full body and partial body. The area of protection is denoted in the marking requirements. The ISO 16602 series allows for a modular approach. This document sets the general requirements and the rules for applying the modular approach. The other parts focus on requirements and classification from design, chemical, physical properties and full garment testing perspectives. The seams, joins and assemblages attaching the components (including accessories) are included within the scope of this series of standards. ISO 16602-6 provides a Selection, Care and Maintenance guide to help the end-user selection process. Chemicals such as violently air sensitive reagents, unstable explosives and cryogenic liquids have not been considered since protection against these additional hazards is beyond the scope of this standard. Particulate protection is limited to physical penetration of the particulates only; permeation of solids is not considered. This document does not address components such as gloves, boots, eye/face protection devices and respiratory protective devices as their performance criteria are given in other standards. However, when these components are an integral part of the protective clothing ensemble or are tested as part of an ensemble, supplementary requirements may be provided in this standard. This document does not specifically address non-chemical hazards, such as biological and infective agents, thermal (flame, heat or cold) hazards, explosive hazards, and ionizing radiation hazards as specific requirements are covered by other relevant standards. The type of equipment specified in this series of standards is not intended for total immersion in liquids. However, additional protection may be integrated as a specific module based on the respective standard (e.g. meeting both ISO 16602-1 & ISO 11612 in a multi-risk suit). It is not the intent of this series of documents to be exhaustive and address all situations.

Protective clothing for protection against chemicals - Classification, labelling and performance requirements - Part 2: Physical test methods, classification and requirements (ISO/DIS 16602-2:2025)

This document specifies the performance classification and test methods for materials used in chemical protective clothing, including gloves and footwear. The gloves and boots should have the same minimum chemical protective barrier performance requirements as the fabric when an integral part of the clothing. This is a reference standard to which chemical protective clothing performance standards may refer in whole or in part, but this standard is not exhaustive in the sense that other parts of ISO 16602 may well require testing according to test method standards which are not included in this standard. While these performance levels are intended to relate to the usage to which the chemical protective clothing is to be put, it is essential that the chemical protective clothing manufacturer or supplier indicates the intended use of the protective clothing. It is similarly important that the user (specifier) carries out a risk assessment in order to establish the correct protective performance levels for the intended task.

Protective clothing for protection against chemicals - Classification, labelling and performance requirements - Part 5: Garment test methods, classification and requirements (ISO/DIS 16602-5:2025)

SO 16602:2007 establishes minimum performance classification and labelling requirements for protective clothing designed to provide protection against chemicals. Protective clothing items covered by ISO 16602:2007 include, but may not be limited to, totally encapsulating suits, liquid-tight or spray-tight suits, coveralls, jackets, trousers, aprons, smocks, hoods, sleeves, and shoe and boot covers. Chemical protective clothing for protection against airborne particles is addressed by ISO 13982-1, which is referenced in ISO 16602:2007. ISO 16602:2007 does not address protection against solid chemicals in forms other than airborne solid particulates (e.g. it does not address the challenge of penetration of chemical dust and powders through materials and clothing by rubbing or flexing or by simple direct contact of dust or powders onto the clothing surface). ISO 16602:2007 does not address gloves, boots, eye/face protection devices and respiratory protective devices unless they are an integral part of the protective clothing. ISO 16602:2007 does not address protection against biological or thermal (hot or cold) hazards, ionizing radiation, or radioactive contamination. ISO 16602:2007 also does not address the specialized clothing used in hazardous chemical emergencies. ISO 16602:2007 is intended to provide chemical protective clothing manufacturers with minimum requirements for testing, classifying, and labelling chemical protective clothing. To assist the users of products covered under ISO 16602:2007, this document provides descriptions of referenced test methods, guidelines for conducting hazard and risk assessments and suggested performance levels for certain applications. It is not the intent of ISO 16602:2007 to address all situations.

Textiles - Man-made fibres - Generic names (ISO/DIS 2076:2025)

This document defines the generic names used to designate the different categories of man-made fibres, based on a main polymer, currently manufactured on an industrial scale for textile and other purposes, together with the distinguishing attributes that characterize them. The term “man-made fibres” has been adopted for those fibres obtained by a manufacturing process, as distinct from materials which occur naturally in fibrous form. This document gives recommendations of rules for the creation of the generic name (see Annex A). NOTE These rules have been introduced in the sixth edition of ISO 2076, and thus, they are not applicable to the existing generic names of the previous editions.

Sensory analysis - Methodology - Duo-trio test (ISO/DIS 10399:2025)

ISO 10399 specifies a procedure for determining whether a perceptible sensory difference or similarity exists between samples of two products. The method is a forced-choice procedure. The method is applicable whether a difference exists in a single sensory attribute or in several attributes. The method is statistically less efficient than the triangle test (described in ISO 4120) but is easier to perform by the assessors. The method is applicable even when the nature of the difference is unknown (i.e. it determines neither the size nor the direction of difference between samples, nor is there any indication of the attribute(s) responsible for the difference). The method is applicable only if the products are fairly homogeneous. The method is effective for a) determining that either a perceptible difference results (duo-trio testing for difference), or a perceptible difference does not result (duo-trio testing for similarity) when, for example, a change is made in ingredients, processing, packaging, handling or storage, and b) for selecting, training and monitoring assessors. Two forms of the method are described: - the constant-reference technique, used when one product is familiar to the assessors (e.g. a sample from regular production); - the balanced-reference technique, used when one product is not more familiar than the other.

Radiological protection - Characteristics of reference pulsed radiation - Part 1: Photon radiation (ISO/DIS 18090-1:2025)

ISO/TS 18090-1:2015 is directly applicable to pulsed X-radiation with pulse duration of 0,1 ms up to 10 s. This covers the whole range used in medical diagnostics at the time of publication. Some specifications may also be applicable for much shorter pulses; one example is the air kerma of one pulse. Such a pulse may be produced, e.g. by X-ray flash units or high-intensity femtosecond-lasers. Other specifications are not applicable for much shorter pulses; one example is the time-dependent behaviour of the air kerma rate. This may not be measurable for technical reasons as no suitable instrument is available, e.g. for pulses produced by a femtosecond-laser. ISO/TS 18090-1:2015 specifies the characteristics of reference pulsed radiation for calibrating and testing radiation protection dosemeters and dose rate meters with respect to their response to pulsed radiation. The radiation characteristics includes the following: a) time-dependent behaviour of the air kerma rate of the pulse; b) time-dependent behaviour of the X-ray tube high voltage during the pulse; c) uniformity of the air kerma rate within a cross-sectional area of the radiation beam; d) air kerma of one radiation pulse; e) air kerma rate of the radiation pulse; f) repetition frequency. ISO/TS 18090-1:2015 does not define new radiation qualities. Instead, it uses those radiation qualities specified in existing ISO and IEC standards. This part of ISO/TS 18090 gives the link between the parameters for pulsed radiation and the parameters for continuous radiation specifying the radiation qualities. It does not specify specific values or series of values for the pulsed radiation field but specifies only those limits for the relevant pulsed radiation parameters that are required for calibrating dosemeters and dose rate meters and for determining their response depending on the said parameters. The pulse parameters with respect to the phantom-related quantities were determined using conversion coefficients according to ISO 4037 (all parts). This is possible as the radiation qualities specified in existing ISO and IEC standards are used. A given reference pulsed X-ray facility is characterized by the parameter ranges over which the full specifications and requirements according to this part of ISO/TS 18090 are met. Therefore, not all reference pulsed X-ray facilities can produce pulses covering the same parameter ranges.
