This standard BS EN 16523-1:2015+A1:2018 Determination of material resistance to permeation by chemicals is classified in these ICS categories:
- 13.340.01 Protective equipment in general
This European Standard specifies a test method for the determination of the resistance of protective clothing, gloves and footwear materials to permeation by potential hazardous liquid chemicals under the condition of continuous contact.
This test method is applicable to the assessment of protection against liquid chemicals that can be collected only by liquid or gaseous collecting media.
This test method is not 
applicable to 
the assessment of chemical mixtures, except for aqueous solutions.
This standard is used with the specifications given in the products standards (for example EN ISO 374‑1:2016 for gloves) where the following information is defined:
any pre-conditioning;
precise sampling (place, size, number);
associated levels of performance.
Protective gloves against dangerous chemicals and micro-organisms Determination of resistance to penetration
Sterilization of medical devices. Requirements for medical devices to be designated "STERILE" Part 1. Requirements for terminally sterilized medical devices
Walking aids. General requirements and test methods
Sterilization of health care products. Microbiological methods Determination of a population of microorganisms on products
