Scope

GB 24539-2025 is the English-translated version of 防护服装 化学防护服.

GB 24539-2025 specifies the types and designations, technical requirements, test methods, and marking and packaging of chemical protective clothing used in workplace operations and emergency rescue against gaseous, liquid and solid chemicals; clothing for fire fighting is excluded, and separate hoods, gloves, footwear, eye and face protectors and respiratory equipment are covered only when they form an integral part of the suit.

It defines fully encapsulated, non-encapsulated and partial body chemical protective clothing, limited use and reusable clothing, and gas-tight, liquid tight and liquid jet tight types, among others.

Twelve normative annexes give the test methods for overall gas-tightness, inward leakage rate, liquid-tightness, inward leakage of solid particles, test subject movements for practical performance, permeation of chemicals, resistance to penetration by liquids under pressure, penetration time and hydrostatic pressure resistance of fabrics, liquid repellency, abrasion resistance and flex cracking resistance, alongside textile tests for strength, tearing, seams, formaldehyde, pH and banned azo dyes.

It replaces GB 24539-2021 and GB/T 23462-2009, changing the scope, terms and types, adding requirements for partial body protective clothing, revising the permeation and abrasion requirements, the breaking strength test for acid and alkali protective fabrics, marking and packaging, and incorporating the chemical permeation test method as Annex F. Issued on 29 August 2025 and in force from 1 September 2026.

Classification: ICS 13.340.10, CCS C73. The document runs to 91 pages, delivered complete in English translation.

Foreword

This document was drafted in accordance with the rules given in GB/T 1.1-2020 Directives for standardization - Part 1: Rules for the structure and drafting of standardizing documents.

This document replaces GB 24539-2021 Protective clothing - Chemical protective clothing and GB/T 23462-2009 Protective clothing - Test method for permeation of chemicals. Compared with GB 24539-2021 and GB/T 23462-2009, apart from structural adjustments and editorial changes, the main technical changes are as follows:

a) the scope has been changed (see Clause 1; Clause 1 of GB 24539-2021);

b) some terms and definitions have been added and changed (see Clause 3; Clause 3 of GB 24539-2021);

c) the types and designations have been changed (see Clause 4; Clause 4 of GB 24539-2021);

d) technical requirements for partial body chemical protective clothing have been added (see 5.1.9);

e) the technical requirements for permeation performance have been changed (see 5.2.3.1; 5.3.3.1 of GB 24539-2021);

f) the technical requirements for abrasion resistance have been changed (see 5.2.4.1; 5.3.4.1 of GB 24539-2021);

g) the test method for the decrease rate of breaking strength of fabrics for acid and alkali protective clothing has been changed (see 6.26; 6.25 of GB 24539-2021);

h) the marking and packaging have been changed (see Clause 7; Clause 7 of GB 24539-2021);

i) test methods for the permeation of chemicals have been added and changed (see Annex F; GB/T 23462-2009);

j) the test method for resistance to penetration by liquids under pressure has been changed (see Annex G; Annex F of GB 24539-2021);

k) the test method for the liquid repellency of chemical protective clothing fabrics has been changed (see Annex J; Annex I of GB 24539-2021).
