DuPont TYVEK® 500 POBO Boot Cover

Protective clothing and coveralls with the EN 14126:2003 rating are tested for resistance against penetration by infective agents like bacteria, viruses, and contaminated liquids and aerosols. This means the material provides a reliable barrier, helping to protect you from biological hazards and prevent the spread of germs.

Protective clothing and gloves with the EN 1149-1:2006 rating are tested for surface resistivity, which measures how well the material dissipates static electricity. This helps prevent hazardous static sparks in environments with flammable materials or sensitive electronics, ensuring wearer safety.

Test results

Protective clothing, such as coveralls and aprons, with the EN 13034:2005 rating are tested for limited protection against light spray, liquid aerosols, or low-volume splashes of liquid chemicals. This means the clothing provides a barrier against minor chemical exposure, allowing you time to safely remove it before chemicals penetrate.

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.
