  Reflective Strip Area Grade 1

  The standard EN ISO 20471:2013 specifies requirements for high visibility clothing, ensuring that individuals are visible in various lighting conditions. A Grade 1 result for the Reflective Strip Area indicates that reflective tape is 0.10 m2 and fluorescent material is 0.14 m2. Grade 1 products are suitable for environments with lower risk levels where visibility is nonetheless essential. The test method for determining this grade involves measuring the area and reflectivity of strips on clothing under different light conditions, ensuring that they meet predefined criteria for visibility as outlined by EN ISO 20471:2013. In practice, a Grade 1 result means clothing is suitable for use in situations with ample separation from traffic or other hazards and where visibility is not compromised by environmental factors. This grade is typically suited for workers on sites where vehicles and equipment move at slow speeds .

• EN 13758-2:2003

  EN 13758-2:2003 is a European standard that sets 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. Test results should show the filter's efficiency in removing gaseous pollutants, 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.

  UVA & UVB Radiation UPF #,##

  The standard EN 13758-2:2003 pertains to the classification and marking of textile products concerning their solar ultraviolet protective properties. Specifically, when textiles are marked with a UPF (Ultraviolet Protection Factor) number, this indicates the level of UV protection provided by the fabric. The higher the UPF number, the greater the amount of UV radiation that is blocked by the textile. The test method defined in this standard involves exposing the fabric to a radiation source simulating solar UV radiation and then measuring the amount of UVA and UVB radiation that passes through the fabric. Results from this testing are quantified into a UPF rating, which lets consumers know the effectiveness of the textile at protecting against UV radiation. Practically, a higher UPF rating on textiles, such as clothing or sunshades, will offer greater protection against harmful UV rays, reducing the risk associated with solar ultraviolet exposure like skin damage or skin cancer. This makes the UPF rating an essential factor for safety in products intended for use in environments with significant sun exposure.

• EN 13688:2013/A1:2021

  EN 13688:2013/A1:2021 is an amendment to the European standard EN 13688:2013 that specifies the performance requirements for protective clothing. The standard includes requirements for safety, comfort, and durability, as well as tests for determining these properties. Protective clothing includes items like coveralls, aprons, and gloves that are worn to protect the wearer from hazards. The amendment updates the standard to include new test methods and performance requirements. Possible test results include resistance to chemicals, heat, abrasion and tearing, as well as breathability and comfort. The clothing can be tested under different conditions to check if it meets the standard's requirements.

• 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.
