Protective clothing with the EN 14325:2004 rating are tested for the physical performance of their materials, seams, and joins, including resistance to abrasion, tearing, and chemical penetration. This ensures you can compare and choose garments that provide the appropriate level of protection against various chemical hazards.

Chemical protective clothing and partial body garments with the EN 14605:2005 rating are tested for their resistance to liquid chemicals, ensuring liquid-tight (Type 3) or spray-tight (Type 4) connections. This means you can choose clothing that offers certified protection against specific chemical splashes or sprays, giving you confidence in hazardous environments.

Chemical protective clothing, like coveralls and suits, with the EN ISO 13982-1:2004 rating are tested for resistance against penetration by airborne solid particles and for robust seam integrity. This ensures the clothing provides reliable full-body protection from hazardous dusts and fine dry chemicals.

Test results

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.

Test results

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 and coveralls with the EN 14126:2003 rating are tested for resistance against penetration by infective agents like bacteria, viruses, and contaminated liquids and aerosols. This means the material provides a reliable barrier, helping to protect you from biological hazards and prevent the spread of germs.

Protective clothing with the EN 13688:2013 rating are tested for general requirements like ergonomics, harmlessness, accurate sizing, durability after cleaning, and clear labeling. This ensures the clothing is safe, comfortable, fits well, and provides reliable, long-lasting protection with clear user instructions.

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.
