  Reflective Strip Area Grade 3

  The EN ISO 20471:2013 standard specifies the requirements for high-visibility clothing, with a specific focus on the reflective strip area, a crucial element for ensuring visibility in low-light conditions. A test result achieving Grade 3 indicates the highest level of reflectivity performance in this standard, ensuring optimal visibility and safety for the wearer in various lighting conditions. In grade 3 products reflective tape is 0.20 m2 and fluorescent material is 0.8 m2.The test methodology involves assessing the amount and quality of retroreflective material on garments. This is quantified under precise conditions to ensure that the reflective strips meet stringent visibility requirements even from significant distances or in poor lighting conditions. Garments that meet Grade 3 requirements are suitable for use in high-risk environments where being seen by others is crucial for safety, such as road construction sites, airport ground operations, and other scenarios with high vehicular traffic or complex visual backgrounds.

• EN 11612:2015

  EN 11612:2015 is a European standard that specifies the requirements for protective clothing against heat and flame. This standard defines performance requirements for material, design, and testing of clothing that protects the wearer from heat and flames. Testing includes measuring the clothing's resistance to heat and flame, as well as its ability to self-extinguish. Pass/fail results are based on the clothing meeting or not meeting the specified requirements.

• EN 11611:2015

  EN 11611:2015 is a European standard that specifies the requirements for protective clothing for use in welding and allied processes. This standard defines performance requirements for material, design, and testing of clothing that protects the wearer from heat and flames. Testing includes measuring the clothing's resistance to heat and flame, as well as its ability to self-extinguish. Pass/fail results are based on the clothing meeting or not meeting the specified requirements.

  Welding Protection Class 2

  The EN 11611:2015 standard specifies safety requirements for protective clothing used during welding and allied processes. Class 2 under this standard, which indicates a result of Visible: 85% - 100%, means that the protective clothing offers a high level of protection, effectively blocking the majority of hazardous exposure associated with welding activities. Specifically, this class is designed for use in environments where hazards are more severe or exposure levels are significantly higher. The test method for determining this classification involves subjecting the fabric and design of the protective clothing to a series of tests that simulate the conditions and hazards typically encountered in welding operations, such as exposure to radiant heat, sparks, and spatter from the welding process. The practical implication for procurement professionals is that Class 2 garments complying with EN 11611:2015 are suitable for high-risk welding tasks, providing more robust protection to the wearer under more intense working conditions.

• EN 61482-2:2020

  EN 61482-2:2020 is a European standard that sets safety requirements for protective clothing against electric arc thermal hazards. This standard specifically deals with the protection of the body and limbs (excluding hands and feet) against electric arc thermal hazards from an electric arc. It defines the performance levels for protective clothing, including the level of protection against electric arc thermal hazards, the arc thermal performance and the classification of clothing. The standard also includes test methods to measure the performance of the clothing, such as measuring the incident energy on the clothing and the flame spread. The test results should show that the clothing meets the minimum requirements for protecting the wearer from electric arc thermal hazards.

• 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 PB

  EN 13034:2005 specifies the performance requirements for protective clothing that offers limited protection against liquid chemicals, identified specifically as Type 6 PB (partial body protection). The 'Type 6 PB' designation implies that the protective garment has been tested and confirmed to provide effective defense against light spray and minor splashes of liquid chemicals, but only for parts of the body such as aprons, sleeves, or boots rather than full body suits. This standard tests the fabric's barrier effectiveness by applying a defined volume of liquid to the garment and assessing any penetration or repellence under controlled laboratory conditions. Garments achieving Type 6 PB classification are crucial for tasks in industries like chemical processing or handling where full body coverage is unnecessary, thereby offering flexibility and targeted protection, reducing the risk of chemical exposure to critical areas of the body.

• 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.
