Standards and labels

• EN 169:2002

  EN 169:2002 is a European standard that defines the requirements and test methods for the performance of smoke and heat control systems in buildings. The standard specifies the minimum levels of performance that the system must meet, as well as the methods that should be used to test the system to ensure it meets these requirements. Possible test results include the ability of the system to control the spread of smoke and heat, the airflow rate and pressure drop of the system, and the resistance to fire spread.

  Protection Class 5

  EN 169:2002 is a standard that outlines requirements and test methods for filters utilized in welding helmets and eye protectors, aiming to safeguard users against harmful optical radiation and welding glare. When a filter is classified as Protection Class 5 according to EN 169:2002, it indicates the highest level of protection achievable against optical radiation and welding glare. This classification signifies that the filter allows only 0.0005% to 0.001% of visible light transmission, ensuring unparalleled safety for the wearer's eyes. The test method involves subjecting the filter to specific wavelengths of light, measuring the transmission through the filter, and determining the resulting optical density. Filters meeting Protection Class 5 must attain a minimum optical density of 7 for infrared radiation and a minimum optical density of 6 for ultraviolet radiation. The practical implications of this classification are profound, as it ensures utmost safety for welders by drastically minimizing the risk of eye damage from intense light emissions during welding operations, thereby facilitating adherence to stringent occupational health and safety standards.

• EN 166:2001

  EN 166:2001 is a European standard for personal eye protection. It sets the guidelines for safety eyewear like goggles and face shields. It includes requirements for impact resistance, lens clarity and field of vision. Test results will show if the eyewear meets the standard's requirements or not.

• CE Marking

  CE Marking is a label that shows a product meets certain safety and environmental standards set by the European Union. To get the CE Marking, a company must test and certify their product meets these standards. CE Marking is required for many products sold in the EU, including electronics, machinery, toys and medical devices. It helps ensure that products are safe for consumers and the environment, and allows for easy trade within the EU.

• PPE Category 2

  PPE stands for "personal protective equipment." PPE Category 2 refers to equipment that is more complex, and has a higher level of risk. Examples of PPE Category 2 include safety helmets, ear protection, and fall arrest equipment. In Europe, PPE Category 2 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 and have to be audited regularly by a notified body.
