GSO ASTM F1671/F1671M:2022 Scope
1.1 This test method is used to measure the resistance of
materials used in protective clothing to penetration by bloodborne 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.
1.2 This test method does not apply to all forms or conditions of blood-borne pathogen exposure. Users of the test
method should review modes for worker/clothing exposure and
assess the appropriateness of this test method for their specific
applications.
1.3 This test method has been specifically defined for
modeling the viral penetration of Hepatitis (B and C) and
Human Immunodeficiency Viruses transmitted in blood and
other potentially infectious body fluids. Inferences for protection from other pathogens must be assessed on a case-by-case
basis.
1.4 This test method addresses only the performance of
materials or certain material constructions (for example,
seams) used in protective clothing and determined to be viral
resistant. This test method does not address the design, overall
construction and components, or interfaces of garments or
other factors which may affect the overall protection offered by
the protective clothing.
1.5 The values stated in SI units or in other units shall be
regarded separately as standard. The values stated in each
system must be used independently of the other, without
combining values in any way.
