Dimex Multi Trousers

Protective clothing, such as garments, gaiters, hoods, and overshoes, with the EN 11612 rating is tested for protection against heat and flame, including limited flame spread, convective, radiant, and contact heat, plus molten metal splashes. This rating helps you choose apparel that provides reliable safety from various thermal hazards, ensuring your protection in environments with such risks.

Protective clothing like jackets, trousers, aprons, and hoods with the EN 11611 rating are tested for protection against molten metal splashes, limited flame spread, radiant heat, and minor electrical contact. This ensures the clothing safeguards users from common hazards encountered during welding and similar processes, promoting safety.

Protective clothing with the EN 13034 rating is tested for limited protection against small splashes, mists, or aerosols of liquid chemicals, including resistance to penetration and repellency. This helps ensure your safety by reducing skin exposure to common chemicals in low-risk environments.

Protective clothing with the EN IEC 61482-1-2 rating is tested for its ability to protect against the thermal hazards of an electric arc, classifying it into Arc Protection Class 1 (4kA) or 2 (7kA). This ensures the clothing can withstand intense heat from an arc flash, reducing the risk of severe burns for the wearer.

Protective clothing with the EN 1149-5:2008 rating is tested for its ability to safely dissipate electrostatic charges and prevent sparks. This protects wearers in environments where flammable gases, liquids, or dust could create an explosive atmosphere. It reduces the risk of accidental fires or explosions from static discharge.

High-visibility clothing with the EN ISO 20471:2013 rating is tested for its ability to visually signal the wearer, including the color, reflectivity, and placement of materials, even after washing. This ensures you are clearly seen in low light or near moving vehicles, significantly enhancing your safety.

Test results

PPE stands for "personal protective equipment." PPE Category 2 refers to equipment that is more complex, and has a higher level of risk. Examples of PPE Category 2 include safety helmets, ear protection, and fall arrest equipment. In Europe, PPE Category 2 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 and have to be audited regularly by a notified body.
