• EN 13034:2005+A1:2009

  EN 13034:2005 is a European standard that outlines the requirements and test methods for Type 6 protective clothing designed to provide protection against liquid chemical hazards. It specifies criteria for the fabric's resistance to penetration by liquid chemicals and establishes guidelines for the overall design and construction of the garments. The amendment A1:2009 introduces updates and refinements to enhance the performance and reliability of Type 6 protective clothing, ensuring improved protection for workers exposed to liquid chemical splashes and sprays. These standards are essential in industries where workers are at risk of encountering liquid chemical hazards, ensuring their safety and well-being.

  Liquid Chemical Protection Type 6 PB

  EN 13034:2005+A1:2009 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.

• CE Marking

  CE Marking is a label that shows a product meets certain safety and environmental standards set by the European Union. To get the CE Marking, a company must test and certify their product meets these standards. CE Marking is required for many products sold in the EU, including electronics, machinery, toys and medical devices. It helps ensure that products are safe for consumers and the environment, and allows for easy trade within the EU.

• PPE Category 3

  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.
