Ensure your fabrics hold up to the highest standards with our ANSI/AAMI PB70 testing. We offer tests for levels 1, 2, and 3, which includes AATCC 42 Impact Testing and AATCC 127 Hydrostatic Pressure.
| ANSI/AAMI PB70 Level | Test | Liquid Challenge | Result | Expected Barrier Effectiveness |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | AATCC 42 Impact Penetration | Water | ≤4.5g | Minimal water resistance (some resistance to water spray) |
| 2 | AATCC 42 Impact Penetration AATCC 127 Hydrostatic Pressure | Water Water | ≤1.0g ≥20cm | Low water resistance (resistant to water spray and some resistance to water penetration under constant contact with increasing pressure) |
| 3 | AATCC 42 Impact Penetration AATCC 127 Hydrostatic Pressure | Water Water | ≤1.0g ≥50cm | Moderate water resistance (resistant to water spray and some resistance to water penetration under constant contact with increasing pressure) |
