Pesticides are commonly used in farming against pests, diseases and
weeds. Depending on the toxicity and the use scenario they pose health
risk if users do not wear adequate protective clothing. The new ISO
standard defines specific protection levels. It allows pesticide
manufacturers to indicate on the product label the required level of
protection needed. It allows garment manufacturers to produce, certify
and sell protective clothing with defined protection levels. It allows
farmers and agricultural workers to buy and use protective clothing
according to the pesticide manufacturers use requirements.
