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.

Protective clothing with the EN 13034:2005+A1:2009 rating is tested for limited protection against liquid chemicals, such as light spray or splashes. This ensures the garment resists chemical penetration and repellency, allowing you to work safely with low-risk chemical exposure and remove it quickly if contaminated.

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

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.

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

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

Protective clothing with the EN 61482-1-2:2014 rating is tested for resistance to the thermal hazards of an electric arc using a controlled "box test" method. This ensures the clothing provides reliable protection against the heat of an arc flash, helping to prevent severe burns.

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.

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.
