Standards and labels

• EN IEC 61482-1-2:2018

  Protective clothing with the EN IEC 61482-1-2:2018 rating is tested for its resistance to the thermal effects of an electric arc flash using a "box test" method. This ensures the garment provides a certified level of protection, significantly reducing the risk of burn injuries from unexpected electrical incidents.

  Test results

  Low-voltage Circuit Arc APC 2

  This garment provides the highest level of protection against the thermal hazards of an electric arc flash. It is tested to shield you from a 7kA electric arc, offering crucial protection when working with low-voltage electrical systems.

• EN IEC 61482-1-1:2019

  Protective clothing with the EN IEC 61482-1-1:2019 rating is tested for its ability to protect against the thermal hazards of an electric arc by determining its arc rating (ELIM, ATPV, or EBT). This ensures the clothing significantly reduces the risk of burn injury from an electrical arc flash, with the ELIM rating indicating a 0% burn probability for enhanced safety.

• EN 13034:2005

  Protective clothing, such as coveralls and aprons, with the EN 13034:2005 rating are tested for limited protection against light spray, liquid aerosols, or low-volume splashes of liquid chemicals. This means the clothing provides a barrier against minor chemical exposure, allowing you time to safely remove it before chemicals penetrate.

  Test results

  Liquid Chemical Protection Type 6 PB

  This garment provides partial body protection against minor chemical risks. It is designed to shield you from light sprays, small splashes, and liquid aerosols where a full chemical barrier isn't needed. Ideal for tasks like maintenance or cleaning.

• EN 1149-5:2008

  Protective clothing with the EN 1149-5:2008 rating is tested for its ability to safely dissipate electrostatic charges and prevent sparks. This protects wearers in environments where flammable gases, liquids, or dust could create an explosive atmosphere. It reduces the risk of accidental fires or explosions from static discharge.

  Test results

  Material Performance Tested

  This garment's material is tested to reduce static electricity buildup. It helps prevent sparks that could cause a fire or explosion in certain work environments, keeping you safer around flammable materials or sensitive electronics.

• EN 11612:2015

  Protective clothing, including garments, gaiters, hoods, and overboots, with the EN 11612:2015 rating are tested for protection against various heat and flame hazards like limited flame spread, convective heat, radiant heat, and splashes from molten metals. This ensures the clothing meets minimum safety standards for specific thermal risks, helping you choose gear that provides essential protection in hazardous environments.

• EN 343:2019

  Protective clothing with the EN 343:2019 rating is tested for resistance to water penetration and water vapor, meaning how well it keeps you dry from external wetness and allows sweat to escape. This ensures you stay comfortable and protected in rain, snow, fog, and humid conditions.

  Test results

  Breathability Class 1

  This garment protects against rain and foul weather. It has the lowest level of breathability in its class, making it suitable for short-duration tasks or work with low physical activity to help keep you dry.

  Waterproofness Class 4

  This garment offers the highest level of waterproofness available. It is designed to keep you dry and comfortable during prolonged periods of heavy rain, providing maximum protection against severe weather conditions and driving rain.

  Downpour X

  Provides certified protection against rain, fog, and ground moisture for everyday use. This garment is tested for waterproofness and breathability but has not undergone the optional, final simulated downpour test for a finished garment.

• EN 11611:2015

  Protective clothing with the EN 11611:2015 rating is tested for protection against molten metal splashes, limited flame spread, radiant heat from welding, and reduced electrical shock risk. This ensures professionals in welding and allied processes are protected from common hazards, helping to minimize injuries.

  Test results

  Welding Protection Class 1

  This garment offers protection for less hazardous welding work. It protects the wearer against small splashes of molten metal, brief contact with flames, and radiant heat from the welding arc.

• EN 61482-2:2020

  Protective clothing with the EN 61482-2:2020 rating is tested for protection against the thermal hazards of an electric arc, including extreme heat, flames, and metal splashes. This ensures the clothing helps prevent severe burns and injuries, providing critical safety for wearers near electrical hazards.

• EN ISO 20471:2013

  High-visibility clothing with the EN ISO 20471:2013 rating is tested for its ability to visually signal the wearer's presence in all light conditions, including daylight and vehicle headlights in the dark. This ensures the clothing makes you clearly visible to others, significantly reducing the risk of accidents in hazardous environments.

  Test results

  Reflective Strip Area Grade 3

  Provides the highest level of visibility in high-risk environments with poor light or bad weather. Garments have a large area of fluorescent material and reflective tape that covers the torso and has full-length sleeves or trousers.

• CE Marking

  CE Marking is a label that shows a product meets certain safety and environmental standards set by the European Union. To get the CE Marking, a company must test and certify their product meets these standards. CE Marking is required for many products sold in the EU, including electronics, machinery, toys and medical devices. It helps ensure that products are safe for consumers and the environment, and allows for easy trade within the EU.

• PPE Category 3

  PPE stands for "personal protective equipment." PPE Category 3 refers to equipment that is complex and provide the highest level of protection such as powered respirators, SCBA, and full body suits. In Europe, PPE Category 3 must meet certain safety standards set by the European Union, which means that it must be designed and manufactured to protect the user without causing harm. Companies that make or sell PPE must prove that it meets these standards. They also must have a quality management system in place, have to be audited regularly by a notified body and have to have a technical documentation.
