Multi-Risk fabric (EN 13034)

EN 13034 Standard includes tests of fabric to determine its physical parameters and resistance to chemicals. There are 4 chemical compounds (H2SO4, NaOH, n-heptane and isopropanol) used for the testing.
According to standard EN 13034, fabric has to be tested to the following tests:

1. Abrasion resistance (EN 530:2010 Method 2)

Level 1	Level 2	Level 3	Level 4	Level 5	Level 6
≥ 10 cycles	≥ 100 cycles	≥ 500 cycles	≥ 1000 cycles	≥ 1500 cycles	≥ 2000 cycles

 

2. Determination of tear resistance (EN ISO 9073-4:1997)

Level 1	Level 2	Level 3	Level 4	Level 5	Level 6
≥ 10N	≥ 20N	≥ 40N	≥ 60N	≥ 100N	≥ 150N

 

3. Determination of breaking strength and elongation (EN ISO 13934-1:2013)

Level 1	Level 2	Level 3	Level 4	Level 5	Level 6
≥ 30N	≥ 60N	≥ 100N	≥ 150N	≥ 500N	≥ 1000N

 

4. Puncture resistance (EN 863:1995)

Level 1	Level 2	Level 3	Level 4	Level 5	Level 6
≥ 5N	≥ 10N	≥ 50N	≥ 100N	≥ 150N	≥ 250N

 

5. Resistance of materials to penetration by liquid (EN ISO 6530:2005, EN 13034:2005+A1:2009)

• Sulphuric acid 30% (Ri; Pi)
• Sodium hydroxide 10% (Ri; Pi)
• O-Xilene (Ri; Pi)
• 1-Butanol (Ri; Pi)
• Ri – Repellency Index
• Pi – Penetration Index
