• EN ISO 20471:2013

  Test results

  Reflective Strip Area Grade 2

  The EU standard EN ISO 20471:2013, which outlines requirements for high-visibility clothing, specifically includes criteria for the reflective strip area needed for different grades of visibility and safety. A Grade 2 result identifies that reflective tape is 0.13 m2 and fluorescent material is 0.5 m2. This rating is determined through a combination of tests that assess how effectively the garment’s reflective strips can reflect light in low visibility or night conditions. For items rated Grade 2, this typically means the product has been assessed to provide a good level of visibility and reflectivity that is deemed suitable for environments with some level of light or medium-low risk areas. It assures that the wearer will be adequately noticed by others, particularly in scenarios where visibility is critical for safety, such as road work at night or in adverse weather conditions.

• 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 14404:2004

  EN 14404:2004 is a European standard that sets the rules for chimneys made of clay. The standard explains how the chimneys should be made, how strong and durable they must be, and how they should be tested to make sure they meet these rules. Possible test results include measurements of strength, stretchiness, and how well the chimneys resist fire. The standard helps make sure chimneys made of clay are safe to use.

• EN IEC 61482-1-2:2018

  EN IEC 61482-1-2:2018 is a European standard that specifies the safety requirements and test methods for clothing that is worn to protect the wearer from thermal hazards such as heat and fire. The standard lays out the minimum safety requirements for the design, construction and performance of the clothing, as well as the test methods for measuring its effectiveness in protecting the wearer from thermal hazards. Test results may include information on the clothing's thermal protection performance, flammability and other safety features. This standard is intended for use in industrial environments where the risk of thermal hazards is present, such as in welding, metal cutting and other operations that generate heat or fire. This standard applies to flame-resistant clothing for thermal hazard protection, and it includes the test methods to determine the thermal protection performance of materials and clothing.

  Low-voltage Circuit Arc APC 2

  The standard EN IEC 61482-1-2:2018 addresses the testing requirements for protective clothing against the thermal hazards of an electric arc. The test result APC 2 signifies that the product falls under Arc Protection Class 2. This indicates a middle level of protection, as specified by the standard, where the product successfully withstands a definite level of energy exposure, providing a defined level of safety to the wearer. The test for this standard involves simulating an electric arc scenario to measure the clothing's capacity to resist the thermal effects. The test method, Box Test, incorporates specific configurations of electrodes and electrical settings to mimic the heat and pressure of an electric arc. The material or garment is subjected to this controlled environment to assess its protective characteristics. Understanding this classification is fundamentally important when procuring protective gear for environments with electrical hazards, as it directly relates to the safety and adequacy of the protective clothing in preventing burns from an electric arc.

• EN 13034:2005

  EN 13034:2005 is a European standard that specifies the requirements and test methods for Type 6 protective clothing designed to provide protection against liquid chemicals. This standard sets criteria for the fabric's resistance to penetration by liquid chemicals and establishes guidelines for the overall design and construction of the clothing. It ensures that Type 6 protective clothing offers reliable protection for workers in industries where they may be exposed to liquid chemical hazards, but it may not be suitable for protection against airborne particles.

  Liquid Chemical Protection Type 6 PB

  EN 13034:2005 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 1149-5:2008

  EN 1149-5:2008 is a European standard that specifies the requirements for electrostatic dissipative (ESD) gloves. The 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. Pass/fail results are based on the gloves meeting or not meeting the specified requirements.

  Material Performance Tested

  The EN 1149-5:2008 standard specifies the performance requirements for material used in protective clothing designed to avoid incendiary discharges. The test result Tested means that the material has undergone relevant evaluation procedures to confirm its static dissipative properties. These tests generally involve measuring the electrical resistance of the material in ohms (Ω) to determine its capability to dissipate electrostatic charges and prevent sparking that could ignite flammable substances. The practical implications of this result for the respective product category (like protective workwear for use in explosive atmospheres) are significant, as it ensures that the clothing provides a level of protection against electrostatic discharges, potentially reducing the risk of fire or explosion in environments with flammable gases, vapors, or dusts.

• 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.
