Basic Information
Scope
This standard specifies the laboratory test method for determining the penetration resistance of protective clothing materials against bloodborne pathogens. This test method uses a suspension containing a substitute microorganism. The "pass/fail" test for protective clothing is determined by measuring the virus penetration ability under a specific hydrostatic pressure using the test instruments specified in YY 0699.
This test method may not be effective for thick, lined protective clothing materials that are prone to absorbing the test solution.
Some test steps in this method have high sensitivity. Due to the time requirements for completing the test, this method is not suitable for quality control or assurance procedures for protective clothing or protective clothing materials.
