Standards and labels
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 1The standard EN IEC 61482-1-2:2018 outlines methods for testing the protection level of materials and garments against the thermal hazards of electrical arcs. Specifically, the APC (Arc Protection Class) 1 rating indicates a specific performance category under this standard, which reflects the minimum level of protection offered by the material or clothing against the thermal effects of an electric arc. The test method used involves a directed and constrained arc, commonly known as the 'Box test'. In this method, the sample material or garment is exposed to a defined electric arc within a controlled box setup to simulate realistic arc flash conditions. The parameters like arc current, duration, and the geometry of the setup are defined strictly to ensure reproducibility and comparability of results. The APC rating derived from this test provides essential data for industries, where workers are exposed to electrical hazards, enabling the selection of appropriate safety clothing that meets regulated safety standards to protect against potential thermal risks posed by electrical arcs. This testing not only assures compliance with safety regulations but also significantly contributes to the enhancement of occupational safety in environments with electrical arc hazards.
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.
Test results
Welding Protection Class 2The EN 11611:2015 standard specifies safety requirements for protective clothing used during welding and allied processes. Class 2 under this standard, which indicates a result of Visible: 85% - 100%, means that the protective clothing offers a high level of protection, effectively blocking the majority of hazardous exposure associated with welding activities. Specifically, this class is designed for use in environments where hazards are more severe or exposure levels are significantly higher. The test method for determining this classification involves subjecting the fabric and design of the protective clothing to a series of tests that simulate the conditions and hazards typically encountered in welding operations, such as exposure to radiant heat, sparks, and spatter from the welding process. The practical implication for procurement professionals is that Class 2 garments complying with EN 11611:2015 are suitable for high-risk welding tasks, providing more robust protection to the wearer under more intense working conditions.
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.
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.
