Protective clothing - Protection against rain

This European Standard specifies requirements and test methods applicable to materials and seams of protective clothing against the influence of precipitation (e. g. rain, snowflakes), fog and ground humidity.
The testing of rain proofness of ready made garments is excluded in this standard at this time because a separate test method for such a property is currently being prepared.

Schutzkleidung - Schutz gegen Regen

Diese Europäische Norm legt die Anforderungen und Prüfverfahren für Materialien und Nähte von Schutzkleidung gegen den Einfluss von Niederschlag (z. B. Regen, Schneeflocken), Nebel und Bodenfeuchtigkeit fest.
Das Prüfen von wasserdichter Konfektionsbekleidung ist in dieser Norm ausgeschlossen, da zur Zeit eine separate Prüfmethode für dieses Merkmal erarbeitet wird.
