  Reflective Strip Area Grade 1

  The standard EN ISO 20471:2013 specifies requirements for high visibility clothing, ensuring that individuals are visible in various lighting conditions. A Grade 1 result for the Reflective Strip Area indicates that reflective tape is 0.10 m2 and fluorescent material is 0.14 m2. Grade 1 products are suitable for environments with lower risk levels where visibility is nonetheless essential. The test method for determining this grade involves measuring the area and reflectivity of strips on clothing under different light conditions, ensuring that they meet predefined criteria for visibility as outlined by EN ISO 20471:2013. In practice, a Grade 1 result means clothing is suitable for use in situations with ample separation from traffic or other hazards and where visibility is not compromised by environmental factors. This grade is typically suited for workers on sites where vehicles and equipment move at slow speeds .

• EN 13758-2:2003+A1:2006

  EN 13758-2:2003+A1:2006 is an amendment to the European standard EN 13758-2:2003. This amendment sets additional requirements for testing the performance of air filters used in ventilation systems. The standard defines test methods for measuring the filter's ability to remove gaseous pollutants such as odors and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from the air. It also specifies test methods for measuring the filter's airflow resistance and filter leakage. The amendment also includes additional test methods for measuring the filter's ability to remove microorganisms and radioactive particles. Test results should show the filter's efficiency in removing gaseous pollutants, microorganisms and radioactive particles, as well as its airflow resistance and filter leakage. The standard also specifies labeling and documentation requirements for air filters that meet its performance requirements.

  UVA & UVB Radiation UPF #,##

  The EN 13758-2:2003+A1:2006 standard outlines the criteria for assessing the Ultraviolet Protection Factor (UPF) of textiles intended to provide protection against ultraviolet (UV) solar radiation. The result indicates the level of ultraviolet protection afforded by the fabric. Specifically, this number represents how much UV radiation (both UVA and UVB) the textile can block. A higher UPF number equates to better UV protection, where a rating of 50 means that the fabric will allow only 1/50th of the sun's UV rays to pass through.The test method used to determine this result involves exposing the textile to a simulated solar spectrum and measuring the amount of UV radiation that penetrates the fabric. This standard ensures that the fabric's weave, thickness, color, and stretch, among other factors, are considered during testing. The results from this testing are crucial for manufacturers of sun-protective clothing, as they provide a measurable and standardized level of UV protection to be communicated to consumers. Products meeting a high UPF rating are particularly significant for consumers who require superior protection from UV radiation due to health concerns or environmental exposure considerations.

• EN 13688:2013/A1:2021

  EN 13688:2013/A1:2021 is an amendment to the European standard EN 13688:2013 that specifies the performance requirements for protective clothing. The standard includes requirements for safety, comfort, and durability, as well as tests for determining these properties. Protective clothing includes items like coveralls, aprons, and gloves that are worn to protect the wearer from hazards. The amendment updates the standard to include new test methods and performance requirements. Possible test results include resistance to chemicals, heat, abrasion and tearing, as well as breathability and comfort. The clothing can be tested under different conditions to check if it meets the standard's requirements.

• EN 14404:2004+A1:2010

  EN 14404:2004+A1:2010 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. The amendment A1:2010 includes additional requirements for the performance of chimneys and additional test methods to check the performance of the chimneys. 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.

• Oeko-Tex Standard 100

  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.
