1.   Scope

1.1   This test method is used to measure the resistance of materials used in protective clothing to penetration by blood-borne pathogens using a surrogate microbe under conditions of continuous liquid contact. Protective clothing material pass/fail determinations are based on the detection of viral penetration.
1.1.1   This test method is not always effective in testing protective clothing materials having thick, inner liners which readily absorb the liquid assay fluid.
