Standards and labels

• EN 11611:2015

  EN 11611:2015 is a European standard that specifies the requirements for protective clothing for use in welding and allied processes. 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.

  Reflective Strip Area Grade 1

  The standard EN ISO 20471:2013 specifies requirements for high visibility clothing, ensuring that individuals are visible in various lighting conditions. A Grade 1 result for the Reflective Strip Area indicates that reflective tape is 0.10 m2 and fluorescent material is 0.14 m2. Grade 1 products are suitable for environments with lower risk levels where visibility is nonetheless essential. The test method for determining this grade involves measuring the area and reflectivity of strips on clothing under different light conditions, ensuring that they meet predefined criteria for visibility as outlined by EN ISO 20471:2013. In practice, a Grade 1 result means clothing is suitable for use in situations with ample separation from traffic or other hazards and where visibility is not compromised by environmental factors. This grade is typically suited for workers on sites where vehicles and equipment move at slow speeds .

• EN 13034:2005

  EN 13034:2005 is a European standard that specifies the requirements and test methods for Type 6 protective clothing designed to provide protection against liquid chemicals. This standard sets criteria for the fabric's resistance to penetration by liquid chemicals and establishes guidelines for the overall design and construction of the clothing. It ensures that Type 6 protective clothing offers reliable protection for workers in industries where they may be exposed to liquid chemical hazards, but it may not be suitable for protection against airborne particles.

  Liquid Chemical Protection Type 6

  EN 13034:2005 specifies the requirements and test methods for protective clothing that provides limited protection against liquid chemicals, designated as Type 6. The 'Type 6' classification indicates that the clothing has been tested and found capable of resisting light spray and minor splashes of liquid chemicals. This test method assesses the fabric's ability to prevent penetration from a synthetic blood solution sprayed at the garment at different angles and pressures, simulating realistic conditions where accidental chemical splashes might occur. Protective clothing that achieves this classification is essential for workers in industries such as chemical manufacturing, painting, or pesticide application, where there is a risk of exposure to harmful liquids but full immersion is not expected, thus enhancing worker safety by providing sufficient protection in low-volume chemical exposure scenarios.

• 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.

• 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.

• 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.
