Describes a test method for the determination of the resistance to puncture and dynamic tearing of protective clothing materials which are used in situations where snagging and tearing could result in unacceptable damage to the clothing or danger to the wearer through loss of integrity of a barrier. The performance levels determined will be of use in specifying materials for use in situations where the risk of harm is related to the size of puncture and tear that may occur in accidents.
