Protective clothing for electrical workers with the EN 61482-1-2 rating is tested for how well materials and garments protect against the intense heat of an electric arc flash, classifying resistance at specific energy levels. This ensures the clothing reduces the risk of severe burns and injuries from electrical arc hazards, helping you choose the right level of protection.

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 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.

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.

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.
