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.

Test results

Protective clothing and materials like outerwear, socks, and high-visibility vests with the EN 14116 rating are tested for limited flame spread properties, including resistance to ignition and continued burning when briefly exposed to small flames. This ensures the clothing itself reduces the risk of catching fire and becoming a hazard, offering you a basic level of flame protection.

Protective clothing with the EN 343 rating is tested for resistance to water penetration and water vapour, meaning its waterproofness and breathability. This ensures you stay dry and comfortable in rain, snow, and humid conditions, helping you perform better outdoors.

Protective clothing with the EN 14605 rating is tested for resistance to penetration by liquid chemicals, either as a strong jet (Type 3) or a lighter spray (Type 4), and for the integrity of its seams. This ensures the garment provides reliable protection against hazardous liquid splashes, keeping you safe in environments where chemical exposure is a risk.

Protective coveralls and suits with the EN 13982-2 rating are tested for the inward leakage of fine dry particles. This means the clothing effectively prevents hazardous dust and fibers from entering, keeping you safe in dusty environments.

Food safe refers to the safety of food products that are used or consumed by people. In Europe, food safety is regulated by the European Union (EU) and the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA). These organizations set standards and requirements for food products to ensure they are safe to eat. To be considered "food safe" in Europe, a product must meet these standards and be free of harmful substances. This includes being free of harmful bacteria, pesticides, and other contaminants. Food products that do not meet these standards cannot be sold or used in the EU.
