EN 1073-2

The EN 1073-2 standard specifies the requirements and test methods for non-ventilated protective clothing against particulate radioactive contamination.
The clothing must be:
- Designed so as to be easy to put on and take off to minimise contamination risks. It can consist of one or more parts and be provided with a respiratory protective device to allow the wearer to breathe in case of failure of the main supply.
- Made of materials with specific requirements featuring resistance to abrasion, breakage by bending at tear off, puncture, fire, with seams resistant to tears and to radioactive particles permeation and penetration.
The visor, if any, must feature mechanical strength requirements and reduced eyesight distortion (the loss of visual acuity must not exceed two grades of the optometric table).
