Standards and labels

• EN 13758-2:2003+A1:2006

  EN 13758-2:2003+A1:2006 is an amendment to the European standard EN 13758-2:2003. This amendment sets additional requirements for testing the performance of air filters used in ventilation systems. The standard defines test methods for measuring the filter's ability to remove gaseous pollutants such as odors and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from the air. It also specifies test methods for measuring the filter's airflow resistance and filter leakage. The amendment also includes additional test methods for measuring the filter's ability to remove microorganisms and radioactive particles. Test results should show the filter's efficiency in removing gaseous pollutants, microorganisms and radioactive particles, as well as its airflow resistance and filter leakage. The standard also specifies labeling and documentation requirements for air filters that meet its performance requirements.

  Test results

  UVA & UVB Radiation UPF #,##

  The EN 13758-2:2003+A1:2006 standard outlines the criteria for assessing the Ultraviolet Protection Factor (UPF) of textiles intended to provide protection against ultraviolet (UV) solar radiation. The result indicates the level of ultraviolet protection afforded by the fabric. Specifically, this number represents how much UV radiation (both UVA and UVB) the textile can block. A higher UPF number equates to better UV protection, where a rating of 50 means that the fabric will allow only 1/50th of the sun's UV rays to pass through.The test method used to determine this result involves exposing the textile to a simulated solar spectrum and measuring the amount of UV radiation that penetrates the fabric. This standard ensures that the fabric's weave, thickness, color, and stretch, among other factors, are considered during testing. The results from this testing are crucial for manufacturers of sun-protective clothing, as they provide a measurable and standardized level of UV protection to be communicated to consumers. Products meeting a high UPF rating are particularly significant for consumers who require superior protection from UV radiation due to health concerns or environmental exposure considerations.

• 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.
