2.   PURPOSE 

The CBRN protective one piece undergarment shall be worn together 
with breathing protective mask (respirator) and breathing protective fil-
ter (filter canister), CBRN protective head protection (balaclava), CBRN 
protective gloves and CBRN foot protection (=personal NBC protection 
equipment). To  accomplish an entire body protection the interface areas 
between the additional protective equipment and the CBRN protective 
one piece  undergarment need to be suitable for the combined use and 
the correct donning need to be ensured.
 
The CBRN protective one piece undergarment is put on (outside of 
the contaminated area) when

• danger from a specific chemical warfare agent must be assumed

or

•  a mission or task has to be fulfilled in a contaminated area.

The  CBRN  protective  one  piece  undergarment  is  designed  to  provide 
protection  from  chemical  warfare  agents  in  the  gas  or  vapour  form. 
When properly maintained and combined with a suitable outer garment, 
the complete ensemble will also provide protection against the general-
ly accepted battlefield threat level (10g/m²) of liquid chemical warfare 
agent.

  The  CBRN  protective  one  piece  undergarment  should 
  not be used when in contact with acids or alkalines.
