보호복 관련 국내·외 표준에 대한 탐색적 조사 - ISO, ASTM, CEN, KS를 중심으로 -

Abstract

When designing protective clothing, there are something to be considered such as physiological feature ofhuman body, acting range not to restrict physical activity, and effectiveness of material. Because the primary objective ofprotective clothing is to protect human body from danger and it is designed through complex designing process not likelygeneral clothing design. However, curent evaluation techniques-such as the ISO, the ASTM and the CEN, and KS- pro-vide only the standard to evaluate the primary feature of material (testing, performance requirements, material spec-ification, selection and application, test and care, and so on). There are no standard to evaluate influence for the humanbody while protective clothing put on. Especially, in Korea, there is KS to evaluate protective clothing, but it is partiallyit is new competitive means in the time of Global Standards and they are competing to make their own standard to globalstandard for the protective clothing. Therefore, it can be great opportunity for Korean clothing and textile industry to revi-talize if focusing on research and development for protective clothing design based on physical activity of human body, fitevaluation technique and sizing which is curently no global standard for it and developing our standard to global standard.
