ISO 16603:2004 Certification

ISO 16603:2004 defines a laboratory test method for determining the penetration conflict of clothing materials to blood and body fluids. This test method uses an unnatural blood in continuous contact with the material model at quantified set of conditions using the ISO 13994 test apparatus.

This test method is not always effective in testing defensive clothing materials having thick, inner liners which readily absorb the artificial blood.
