Industrial safety helmets with the EN 397 rating are tested for shock absorption from falling objects, penetration resistance from sharp objects, and flame resistance. This ensures they provide essential protection from impacts and injuries, keeping your head safe in various work environments.

Helmets with the EN 50365 rating are tested for electrical insulation and resistance to high voltages, ensuring they prevent electrical current from passing through the head. This means the helmet provides a crucial safety barrier, protecting the wearer from electrical shock when working near live electrical parts.

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.
