Standards and labels

• EN 13758-2:2003

  EN 13758-2:2003 is a European standard that sets requirements for testing the performance of air filters used in ventilation systems. The standard defines test methods for measuring the filter's ability to remove gaseous pollutants such as odors and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from the air. It also specifies test methods for measuring the filter's airflow resistance and filter leakage. Test results should show the filter's efficiency in removing gaseous pollutants, as well as its airflow resistance and filter leakage. The standard also specifies labeling and documentation requirements for air filters that meet its performance requirements.

  UVA & UVB Radiation UPF #,##

  The standard EN 13758-2:2003 pertains to the classification and marking of textile products concerning their solar ultraviolet protective properties. Specifically, when textiles are marked with a UPF (Ultraviolet Protection Factor) number, this indicates the level of UV protection provided by the fabric. The higher the UPF number, the greater the amount of UV radiation that is blocked by the textile. The test method defined in this standard involves exposing the fabric to a radiation source simulating solar UV radiation and then measuring the amount of UVA and UVB radiation that passes through the fabric. Results from this testing are quantified into a UPF rating, which lets consumers know the effectiveness of the textile at protecting against UV radiation. Practically, a higher UPF rating on textiles, such as clothing or sunshades, will offer greater protection against harmful UV rays, reducing the risk associated with solar ultraviolet exposure like skin damage or skin cancer. This makes the UPF rating an essential factor for safety in products intended for use in environments with significant sun exposure.

• 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.

  Material Performance Tested

  The standard EN 1149-5:2018 pertains to the performance of materials with regard to their electrostatic properties, specifically testing for the charge decay characteristics. The test result Tested signifies that the material has been evaluated according to the specified methods and met the defined criteria for electrostatic properties under this standard. To determine this result, a set of specific test methods is deployed to assess the decay of electrostatic charge from the surface of the material. The test involves subjecting the material to an electrostatic charge and then measuring the rate and manner in which this charge dissipates. This ensures that materials such as those used in protective clothing are safe for use in environments where electrostatic discharge could pose a hazard, such as in certain industrial or medical settings where flammable substances are present. For procurement professionals, understanding that a product has been tested and meets EN 1149-5:2018 standards is crucial as it ensures the product's safety and suitability in environments susceptible to electrostatic risks.

• 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.

• EN 13688:2013/A1:2021

  EN 13688:2013/A1:2021 is an amendment to the European standard EN 13688:2013 that specifies the performance requirements for protective clothing. The standard includes requirements for safety, comfort, and durability, as well as tests for determining these properties. Protective clothing includes items like coveralls, aprons, and gloves that are worn to protect the wearer from hazards. The amendment updates the standard to include new test methods and performance requirements. Possible test results include resistance to chemicals, heat, abrasion and tearing, as well as breathability and comfort. The clothing can be tested under different conditions to check if it meets the standard's requirements.

• EN 61482-2:2020

  EN 61482-2:2020 is a European standard that sets safety requirements for protective clothing against electric arc thermal hazards. This standard specifically deals with the protection of the body and limbs (excluding hands and feet) against electric arc thermal hazards from an electric arc. It defines the performance levels for protective clothing, including the level of protection against electric arc thermal hazards, the arc thermal performance and the classification of clothing. The standard also includes test methods to measure the performance of the clothing, such as measuring the incident energy on the clothing and the flame spread. The test results should show that the clothing meets the minimum requirements for protecting the wearer from electric arc thermal hazards.

• 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.
