Indian Navy PPE clears certification by INMAS
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) designed and produced by Indian Navy has been tested by INMAS (Institute of Nuclear Medicine and Allied Sciences) Delhi, a DRDO organization tasked with the testing and certification of PPE and is certified to be mass produced and used in clinical COVID situations.
The PPE was passed with 6/6 Synthetic blood penetration resistance test pressure. GoI mandated a minimum 3/6 and above level as per ISO 16603 standard and is thus certified to be mass-produced and used in clinical COVID-19 situations.
The outstanding features of the PPE are simple, innovative, and cost-effective design. It can be manufactured by basic gown manufacturing facilities.
The PPE is noteworthy for the innovative choice of fabric used, which gives the PPE its breathability and penetration resistance rendering it both comfortable and safe for the user.
The cost for the approved PPE is significantly lower than those commercially available.
