• EN 11612:2015

  EN 11612:2015 is a European standard that specifies the requirements for protective clothing against heat and flame. This standard defines performance requirements for material, design, and testing of clothing that protects the wearer from heat and flames. Testing includes measuring the clothing's resistance to heat and flame, as well as its ability to self-extinguish. Pass/fail results are based on the clothing meeting or not meeting the specified requirements.

• EN 1149-5:2018

  EN 1149-5:2018 is a European standard that specifies the requirements for electrostatic dissipative (ESD) gloves. This standard defines performance requirements for material, design, and testing of ESD gloves. The gloves must be able to effectively discharge static electricity and protect the wearer from ESD. Testing includes measuring the surface resistance of the glove material and electrical resistance of the glove. Pass/fail results are based on the gloves meeting or not meeting the specified requirements.

  Material Performance Tested

  The standard EN 1149-5:2018 pertains to the performance of materials with regard to their electrostatic properties, specifically testing for the charge decay characteristics. The test result Tested signifies that the material has been evaluated according to the specified methods and met the defined criteria for electrostatic properties under this standard. To determine this result, a set of specific test methods is deployed to assess the decay of electrostatic charge from the surface of the material. The test involves subjecting the material to an electrostatic charge and then measuring the rate and manner in which this charge dissipates. This ensures that materials such as those used in protective clothing are safe for use in environments where electrostatic discharge could pose a hazard, such as in certain industrial or medical settings where flammable substances are present. For procurement professionals, understanding that a product has been tested and meets EN 1149-5:2018 standards is crucial as it ensures the product's safety and suitability in environments susceptible to electrostatic risks.

• EN 1149-3:2004

  EN 1149-3:2004 is a European standard that specifies the requirements for electrostatic dissipative (ESD) footwear. The standard defines performance requirements for material, design, and testing of ESD footwear. The footwear must be able to effectively discharge static electricity and protect the wearer from ESD. Testing includes measuring the surface resistance of the footwear material. Pass/fail results are based on the footwear meeting or not meeting the specified requirements.

  Electrostatic Properties Tested

  The EN 1149-3:2004 standard specifies the test method for assessing the electrostatic properties of materials, specifically their ability to dissipate an electrostatic charge. The crucial test result for the standard is that a material must have a half decay time of less than 4 seconds or a shielding factor greater than 0.2 to meet the criteria stipulated by EN1149-5. This is determined through a testing process where a specimen is subjected to an induction effect that charges the material. Its ability to dissipate this charge is then measured by recording the decrease in field charge observed by a probe positioned above the test surface. The practical implications of this result for materials, especially in safety and protective clothing, are significant as it ensures that the material can quickly neutralize electrostatic charges, reducing the risk of discharge sparks in environments where flammable or explosive gases may be present.
