EN ISO 13034
European and international standard for protective clothing against liquid chemicals.
Alsico designs and supplies workwear certified to EN ISO 13034, providing reliable splash protection for industrial, laboratory, and manufacturing settings. Our garments combine comfort, durability, and compliance, ensuring teams remain safe while performing demanding tasks.
what is EN ISO 13034?
EN ISO 13034 is a European and international standard that specifies requirements for protective clothing offering limited protection against liquid chemicals. It is designed for workplaces where there is a risk of occasional, low-volume chemical splashes — but where full chemical protection is not necessary.
Often referred to as EN ISO 13034 Type 6, the standard sets performance criteria for garments that provide a basic barrier against light liquid splashes and aerosols. These garments are not intended for heavy exposure or prolonged contact with hazardous chemicals, but they play an important role in reducing risk in controlled, low-hazard environments.
EN ISO 13034 Type 6 clothing is commonly used in industries such as manufacturing, maintenance, logistics, and light chemical handling. It is also frequently specified as part of a layered PPE system, offering additional protection alongside other safety garments without compromising comfort, mobility, or day-to-day wearability.
advantages of EN ISO 13034 workwear
EN ISO 13034 workwear is designed to provide practical protection against limited chemical splashes while remaining comfortable, durable, and reliable. Selecting the right garments helps teams stay safe without restricting mobility or daily operations. Key benefits include:
how we test and certify EN ISO 13034 clothing
All EN ISO 13034 garments undergo rigorous testing to verify their chemical splash resistance. Fabrics are exposed to defined liquid challenges under controlled conditions, and garments must maintain integrity without penetration. Alsico ensures that every piece meets or exceeds the standard, combining protection with comfort and durability.
