Personal Protective Equipment Testing
Personal Protective Equipment Testing
Services

A personal protective equipment (PPE) test ensures different types of PPE equipment are safe and secure and can protect the wearer as intended. PPE includes clothing and other articles intended to protect the wearer from injury or other health-related risks. Conducting a PPE test is a legal obligation in many jurisdictions, and it also helps R&D teams discover faults early.

The testing required of PPE is as varied as an equipment’s intended use and the potential risk to the user. Some specific types of testing include:

  • Biological resistance testing - including penetration testing, as well as antimicrobial and antibacterial testing
  • Chemical resistance testing - including chemical penetration and permeation testing
  • Protective ensemble testing - such as testing for chemical, vapor or liquid splash resistance of full body protection systems and clothing ensembles
  • Impact protection testing - for sports helmets and occupational headwear, as well as body protection equipment
  • Protective hand and footwear testing - for gloves and shoes used in hazardous work environments
  • Fall arrest equipment testing – for positioning belts and body harnesses used in construction and maintenance
