• EN ISO 20345:2011

  Test results

  General Requirements CR

  The standard EN ISO 20345:2011 encompasses general requirements for safety footwear to ensure they provide adequate protection in various occupational environments. Rating 'CR' signifies that the footwear has a cut resistant upper ensuring enhanced protection. The test method involves assessing the material's resistance to splitting or cracking under certain conditions, which simulates real-world industrial hazards involving sharp objects or surfaces. Practically, this result ensures that the footwear is suitable for environments where there is a risk of materials splitting or getting caught, thereby providing essential safety benefits to the user.

  General Requirements HRO

  The HRO result listed in the standard EN ISO 20345:2011 pertains to the heat resistance of the outsole of safety footwear. This test result confirms that the outsole is capable of withstanding exposure to high temperatures without degrading its physical properties and performance. The test method requires that the outsole of the footwear be exposed to 300°C for a minimum of 60 seconds under specified conditions, during which the outsole should not melt or crack, ensuring that it continues to provide protection against hot environments. Since the HRO classification attests to heat resistance, this feature is particularly important in industries such as metallurgy or construction, where contact with hot surfaces is a common hazard. Understanding this result can assist procurement professionals in sourcing appropriate safety footwear that meets the required durability and performance in high-temperature working conditions.

• EN ISO 13287:2012

  EN ISO 13287:2012 is a standard for testing the abrasion resistance of textiles. It sets guidelines for measuring how well a textile can withstand rubbing or wear. The textile needs to meet certain requirements such as minimal wear and change in appearance. The test results will give a grade from 1-5, 1 being the lowest and 5 being the highest, 5 indicating excellent abrasion resistance.

• EN 13832-3:2006

  EN 13832-3:2006 is a European standard that sets out the requirements and test methods for air filters that are used to clean the air in buildings. The standard covers the performance requirements for the filters and the test methods used to evaluate their performance. Test results for these filters may include measurements of the filter's ability to capture different types of particles, such as dust, pollen and other pollutants. The standard also includes information on how to properly install and maintain the filters, and how to check their performance over time. It also covers the requirements for filter element, filter media, the filter housing and the filter frame. This standard is specific to the filters that are used in residential and commercial buildings, it covers filter classes, filter types, and filter testing methods. It also includes requirements for filter labeling and marking, and for the filter information to be provided by the manufacturers. This version of the standard is specific to the filters that are used in air handling units and fan coils in air conditioning systems.

• 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.

• PPE Category 3

  PPE stands for "personal protective equipment." PPE Category 3 refers to equipment that is complex and provide the highest level of protection such as powered respirators, SCBA, and full body suits. In Europe, PPE Category 3 must meet certain safety standards set by the European Union, which means that it must be designed and manufactured to protect the user without causing harm. Companies that make or sell PPE must prove that it meets these standards. They also must have a quality management system in place, have to be audited regularly by a notified body and have to have a technical documentation.
