Surgical drapes, gowns and clean air suits, used as medical devices for patients, clinical staff and equipment - Part 2: Test methods

This part of the series of EN 13795 specifies test methods for evaluating characteristics of surgical drapes, gowns and clean air suits. NOTE1 Test methods are specified by referring to a standard test method and - if necessary - specifying amendments to adapt the test method for the purpose of this European Standard. Test methods for evaluating resistance to dry and wet microbial penetration are specified in prEN 13795-3 and prEN 13795-4 and therefore not included in this part. NOTE2 EN 13795-2 does not cover a test method for evaluating adhesion for fixation for the purpose of wound isolation as there is no suitable test method available at present. For more information on adhesion for fixation for the purpose of wound isolation see EN 13795-1 Annex B.
