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

Protective suits and coveralls with the EN ISO 13982-1:2004 rating are tested for their ability to protect your entire body from airborne dry particles like dusts and fibers. This means the clothing offers a certified level of protection against hazardous dry particles, ensuring safer use in environments where they are present.

Test results

Protective clothing with the EN 1149-5 rating is tested for its ability to dissipate electrostatic charges, preventing sparks. This protects you by reducing the risk of explosions in hazardous environments where flammable substances or gases are present.

Protective clothing with the EN 1149-1:1995 rating is tested for its ability to dissipate static electricity from its surface. This means the clothing helps prevent hazardous sparks, improving safety in environments where flammable materials are present.

Test results

Protective clothing and materials with the EN 863:1995 rating are tested for puncture resistance. This measures the maximum force needed to push a sharp spike through the material, helping you choose clothing that protects against penetration by sharp objects.

Protective clothing with the EN 1073-2:2002 rating are tested for protection against particulate radioactive contamination. This ensures the clothing effectively minimizes the inward leakage of hazardous radioactive particles to keep you safe.

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.
