Protective clothing with the EN 61482-1-1:2009 rating is tested for its ability to protect against the thermal hazards of an electric arc, specifically measuring the Arc Thermal Performance Value (ATPV) or Energy Break-open Threshold (EBT50). This means the clothing offers a measured level of protection from burns and material break-open in case of an electrical arc flash incident.

Protective clothing with the EN 61482-1-2:2014 rating is tested for resistance to the thermal hazards of an electric arc using a controlled "box test" method. This ensures the clothing provides reliable protection against the heat of an arc flash, helping to prevent severe burns.

Cold weather clothing with the EN 342:2004 rating is tested for thermal insulation, air permeability, and optional water resistance. This ensures the garments will keep you warm, protected from wind, and potentially dry in very cold conditions.

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.

Protective clothing, including garments, gaiters, hoods, and overboots, with the EN 11612:2015 rating are tested for protection against various heat and flame hazards like limited flame spread, convective heat, radiant heat, and splashes from molten metals. This ensures the clothing meets minimum safety standards for specific thermal risks, helping you choose gear that provides essential protection in hazardous environments.

Protective clothing with the EN 11611:2015 rating is tested for protection against molten metal splashes, limited flame spread, radiant heat from welding, and reduced electrical shock risk. This ensures professionals in welding and allied processes are protected from common hazards, helping to minimize injuries.

Oeko-Tex Standard 100 is a product certification program for textiles, which is awarded by the Oeko-Tex Association. This program verifies that the textile products are free from harmful chemicals. To be able to use the Oeko-Tex Standard 100 label, a product must meet certain requirements set by the Oeko-Tex Association which include limits on the levels of harmful substances such as pesticides, heavy metals, and formaldehyde. The textile products are inspected and certified by Oeko-Tex, they can use the Oeko-Tex Standard 100 label on their packaging to show that they are free from harmful chemicals. This certification is for all types of textiles, from raw materials to finished products, and it is globally recognized.
