  Flame Spread Test Index 3

  EN ISO 14116:2015 is a European standard established to assess the flame spread characteristics of protective clothing materials, with the aim of ensuring the safety of individuals working in environments with potential fire hazards. Its purpose is to evaluate the flame retardant properties of protective clothing and mitigate the risk of burn injuries. A designation of Index 3 indicates a limited level of flame spread performance, suggesting that the material offers moderate protection against the spread of flames. This result implies that the material may resist ignition to a certain degree and exhibit slower flame propagation compared to materials with lower index values. The test method used to determine this result typically involves subjecting the material to a controlled flame exposure and assessing the extent and speed of flame spread. Practical implications of this result for the product category include indicating that the protective clothing may provide adequate protection in environments with moderate fire risk, but additional precautions or higher levels of flame-resistant clothing may be necessary in higher-risk scenarios to ensure optimal safety for workers.

• EN 13034:2005+A1:2009

  EN 13034:2005 is a European standard that outlines the requirements and test methods for Type 6 protective clothing designed to provide protection against liquid chemical hazards. It specifies criteria for the fabric's resistance to penetration by liquid chemicals and establishes guidelines for the overall design and construction of the garments. The amendment A1:2009 introduces updates and refinements to enhance the performance and reliability of Type 6 protective clothing, ensuring improved protection for workers exposed to liquid chemical splashes and sprays. These standards are essential in industries where workers are at risk of encountering liquid chemical hazards, ensuring their safety and well-being.

  Liquid Chemical Protection Type 6 PB

  EN 13034:2005+A1:2009 specifies the performance requirements for protective clothing that offers limited protection against liquid chemicals, identified specifically as Type 6 PB (partial body protection). The 'Type 6 PB' designation implies that the protective garment has been tested and confirmed to provide effective defense against light spray and minor splashes of liquid chemicals, but only for parts of the body such as aprons, sleeves, or boots rather than full body suits. This standard tests the fabric's barrier effectiveness by applying a defined volume of liquid to the garment and assessing any penetration or repellence under controlled laboratory conditions. Garments achieving Type 6 PB classification are crucial for tasks in industries like chemical processing or handling where full body coverage is unnecessary, thereby offering flexibility and targeted protection, reducing the risk of chemical exposure to critical areas of the body.

• 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 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.

  Welding Protection Class 1

  The standard EN 11611:2015 establishes criteria for protective clothing used during welding and allied processes, specifically regarding safety to reduce the risk of harm from sparks, spatter, and other hazards associated with welding. In this context, a Class 1 test result indicates the clothing provides basic protection suitable for less hazardous welding techniques where lower levels of spatter and radiant heat are anticipated. The test for this classification involves subjecting the fabric to controlled ignition and monitoring its resistance to flame spread, heat transfer, and the formation of holes. The fabric material must neither ignite nor continue to burn after the source of ignition is removed. In practical terms, products achieving Class 1 under EN 11611:2015 are suitable for types of welding that produce lower spatter and radiant heat, making them ideal for less intense welding operations but not for those that involve higher risks that might require more robust protective gear categorized in higher classes.

• 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.
