BS EN 1073-2:2002

This standard BS EN 1073-2:2002 Protective clothing against radioactive contamination is classified in these ICS categories:

• 13.280 Radiation protection
• 13.340.10 Protective clothing

This European Standard specifies the requirements and test methods for non-ventilated protective clothing protecting the wearer against particulate radioactive contamination. Such clothing is intended to protect only the body, arms and legs of the wearer, but it may be used with accessories which provide protection to additional areas of the wearer (e.g. boots, gloves, RPE). Protection to these other areas is specified in other European Standards.

This European Standard does not apply for the protection against ionizing radiation and the protection of patients against contamination with radioactive substances by diagnostic and/or therapeutic measures.
