On the other hand, it should systematically be discarded if it is contaminated or has a mechanical fault (tear, puncture, scratch).

A type 1a gas-tight chemical suit

The Dräger CPS 5900 limited use chemical suit has been specially developed to be able to perform operations under low risk conditions, such as carrying out control measures or transfers without explosion risk.

It is a type 1a, gas tight protection against liquid chemicals, liquid aerosols and solid particles (EN 943-1) with the self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) worn inside the suit for maximum safety.

It is made of Zytron® 500, a very soft laminate material, resistant and efficient. The seams are all welded inside and outside of the suit and the quality of the materials make it a high performance protective garment.

It meets the highest international standards for industry, fire service and marine. It meets the EN 943-1, EN943-2 and SOLAS standards, and is therefore approved for use on board a ship.
