Protective clothing with the EN 61482-1-2:2007 rating is tested for its resistance to the thermal hazards of an electric arc using a controlled "box test" method. This ensures the clothing can withstand arc flash heat, protecting users from severe burns and injuries in electrical environments.

Protective clothing with the EN 61482-1-1:2009 rating is tested for its ability to protect against the thermal hazards of an electric arc, specifically measuring the Arc Thermal Performance Value (ATPV) or Energy Break-open Threshold (EBT50). This means the clothing offers a measured level of protection from burns and material break-open in case of an electrical arc flash incident.

Protective clothing like jackets, trousers, aprons, and hoods with the EN 11611 rating are tested for protection against molten metal splashes, limited flame spread, radiant heat, and minor electrical contact. This ensures the clothing safeguards users from common hazards encountered during welding and similar processes, promoting safety.

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 1149-3:2004 rating is tested for its ability to dissipate electrostatic charges from the material surface. This helps prevent static electricity buildup and reduces the risk of ignition in environments with flammable gases, vapors, or dust.

Test results

Protective clothing with the EN 13034 rating is tested for limited protection against small splashes, mists, or aerosols of liquid chemicals, including resistance to penetration and repellency. This helps ensure your safety by reducing skin exposure to common chemicals in low-risk environments.

High-visibility clothing with the EN ISO 20471 rating is tested for ensuring the wearer is easily seen in various light conditions by evaluating fluorescent and reflective materials, their placement, and durability. This means the clothing helps you stay visible and safer in low light or busy areas, reducing the risk of accidents.

Oeko-Tex Standard 100 is a product certification program for textiles, which is awarded by the Oeko-Tex Association. This program verifies that the textile products are free from harmful chemicals. To be able to use the Oeko-Tex Standard 100 label, a product must meet certain requirements set by the Oeko-Tex Association which include limits on the levels of harmful substances such as pesticides, heavy metals, and formaldehyde. The textile products are inspected and certified by Oeko-Tex, they can use the Oeko-Tex Standard 100 label on their packaging to show that they are free from harmful chemicals. This certification is for all types of textiles, from raw materials to finished products, and it is globally recognized.
