Protective clothing like coveralls and suits with the EN ISO 13982-1:2004/A1:2010 rating are tested for resistance to inward leakage of airborne solid particles and the strength of their materials and seams. This ensures the full-body garment effectively shields you from harmful dusts and fine chemical powders.

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 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 with the EN 14126:2003/AC:2004 rating is tested for resistance against penetration by contaminated liquids, aerosols, and solid particles containing infective agents. This ensures the material provides a barrier against biological hazards, offering you trusted protection in risky environments.

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.

Protective clothing with the EN 14325:2004 rating are tested for the physical performance of their materials, seams, and joins, including resistance to abrasion, tearing, and chemical penetration. This ensures you can compare and choose garments that provide the appropriate level of protection against various chemical hazards.

Protective clothing like coveralls, jackets, and aprons with the EN 14605:2005+A1:2009 rating are tested for their ability to prevent liquid chemicals from penetrating the fabric and seams under spray or jet conditions. This ensures reliable protection against hazardous chemical splashes and contact, keeping the user safe in various work environments.

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.
