Protective clothing with the EN 1149-1:1995 rating is tested for its ability to dissipate static electricity from its surface. This means the clothing helps prevent hazardous sparks, improving safety in environments where flammable materials are present.

Test results

Chemical protective clothing, like coveralls and suits, with the EN ISO 13982-1:2004 rating are tested for resistance against penetration by airborne solid particles and for robust seam integrity. This ensures the clothing provides reliable full-body protection from hazardous dusts and fine dry chemicals.

Test results

Protective clothing with the EN 1149-5:2008 rating is tested for its ability to safely dissipate electrostatic charges and prevent sparks. This protects wearers in environments where flammable gases, liquids, or dust could create an explosive atmosphere. It reduces the risk of accidental fires or explosions from static discharge.

Test results

Protective clothing, such as coveralls and aprons, with the EN 13034:2005 rating are tested for limited protection against light spray, liquid aerosols, or low-volume splashes of liquid chemicals. This means the clothing provides a barrier against minor chemical exposure, allowing you time to safely remove it before chemicals penetrate.

Test results

Protective clothing with the EN 1073-2:2002 rating are tested for protection against particulate radioactive contamination. This ensures the clothing effectively minimizes the inward leakage of hazardous radioactive particles to keep you safe.

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.
