Standards and labels

• EN ISO 13982-1:2004

  EN ISO 13982-1:2004 is a European standard that specifies the requirements and test methods for Type 5 protective clothing designed to protect against airborne solid particles. It sets criteria for material resistance and construction to prevent penetration of hazardous particles such as dust, fibers, and powders. The standard ensures that the garments provide effective protection in industries where workers may be exposed to such particles, but it should not be relied upon for protection against liquid chemicals or vapors.

  Airborne Solid Particle Protection Type 5

• EN 1073-2:2002

  EN 1073-2:2002 is a European standard that defines the requirements for measuring and evaluating the resistance of textiles to penetration of airborne radioactive particles. The standard includes procedures for measuring the ability of textile materials to prevent the penetration of radioactive particles through the fabric. The performance requirements specify the conditions for testing, as well as the evaluation criteria for determining resistance. Possible test results include a rating on a scale of 1-5, with 5 indicating the highest level of resistance to particle penetration.

• EN 13034:2005

  EN 13034:2005 is a European standard that specifies the requirements and test methods for Type 6 protective clothing designed to provide protection against liquid chemicals. This standard sets criteria for the fabric's resistance to penetration by liquid chemicals and establishes guidelines for the overall design and construction of the clothing. It ensures that Type 6 protective clothing offers reliable protection for workers in industries where they may be exposed to liquid chemical hazards, but it may not be suitable for protection against airborne particles.

  Liquid Chemical Protection Type 6

  EN 13034:2005 specifies the requirements and test methods for protective clothing that provides limited protection against liquid chemicals, designated as Type 6. The 'Type 6' classification indicates that the clothing has been tested and found capable of resisting light spray and minor splashes of liquid chemicals. This test method assesses the fabric's ability to prevent penetration from a synthetic blood solution sprayed at the garment at different angles and pressures, simulating realistic conditions where accidental chemical splashes might occur. Protective clothing that achieves this classification is essential for workers in industries such as chemical manufacturing, painting, or pesticide application, where there is a risk of exposure to harmful liquids but full immersion is not expected, thus enhancing worker safety by providing sufficient protection in low-volume chemical exposure scenarios.

• 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.
