FOOTWEAR PROTECTING AGAINST CHEMICALS – PART 2: REQUIREMENTS FOR FOOTWEAR’S RESISTANCE TO CHEMICALS UNDER LABORATORY CONDITIONS
EN 13832-2: 2006 this standard specifies the requirements for footwear that protects the wearer against specific chemicals. This standard does not apply to footwear with leather outsoles.
Part 2 of EN 13832 affords footwear designers greater flexibility than part 3 by not restricting the choice of material types, save the exclusion of designs with leather outsoles, and by allowing ankle boot styles to be evaluated in testing.
EN 13832-2:2006 details the degradation testing procedure only. Footwear in compliance with this standard resists degradation by at least 2 of the following chemicals:
- B – acetone
- D – dichloromethane
- F – toluene
- G – diethylamine
- H – tetrahydrofuranI
- I – ethyl acetate
- J – n-heptane
- K – 30% sodium hydroxide
- L – 95% sulphuric acid
- M – 65% nitric acid
- N – 99% acetic acid
- O– 25% ammonia solution
- P – 30% hydrogen peroxide solution
- Q – isopropanol
- R – 13% sodium hypochlorite
