Personal protective equipment (SDS section 8.2)

InnovaDocs SDS teamUpdated: 6 November 2026

Definition: SDS section 8.2 specifies the personal protective equipment for eyes, skin, hands and respiration, with the relevant EN standards such as EN ISO 374 for chemical protective gloves.

Good practice names the glove material, thickness and breakthrough time, the eye protection type (EN 166) and the respirator filter type (EN 14387) instead of generic phrases.

PPE follows from the hazards and exposure. Ventilation is an engineering control (Section 8.2.1), not PPE: for a mixture without respiratory hazard it usually replaces respiratory protection, but never skin or eye protection. Gloves are specified to EN ISO 374-1 (type A, B or C), respirator filters to EN 14387 or EN 143.
