Standards and labels

• 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.

  Welding Protection Class 2

  The EN 11611:2015 standard specifies safety requirements for protective clothing used during welding and allied processes. Class 2 under this standard, which indicates a result of Visible: 85% - 100%, means that the protective clothing offers a high level of protection, effectively blocking the majority of hazardous exposure associated with welding activities. Specifically, this class is designed for use in environments where hazards are more severe or exposure levels are significantly higher. The test method for determining this classification involves subjecting the fabric and design of the protective clothing to a series of tests that simulate the conditions and hazards typically encountered in welding operations, such as exposure to radiant heat, sparks, and spatter from the welding process. The practical implication for procurement professionals is that Class 2 garments complying with EN 11611:2015 are suitable for high-risk welding tasks, providing more robust protection to the wearer under more intense working conditions.
