Standards and labels

• EN 343:2019

  EN 343 is a European standard for protective clothing against bad weather. It says clothes must be waterproof, breathable, and not let water in. It's used to protect workers in different industries like construction and transportation. Tests must show the clothing meets these standards.

  Waterproofness Class 2

  The EN 343:2019 standard outlines the requirements for protective clothing against rain. A Class 2 waterproofness result indicates that the clothing has been tested and meets the intermediate requirements for resistance to water penetration under specific conditions (more than 8000 Pascal Pressure units after pre-treatment). The testing procedure for waterproofness under EN 343:2004 involves subjecting the fabric to a predetermined pressure of water for a set duration to simulate rain exposure, ensuring that the material can prevent water from penetrating through to the wearer's body. This class suggests that the clothing is suitable for moderate levels of rain and exposure but may not provide full protection under severe weather conditions, making it ideal for work environments where exposure to significant amounts of water is intermittent or for shorter durations.

  Breathability Class 1

  In the standard EN 343:2019, Breathability Class 1 specifies the lowest (RET > 40) level of breathability for protective clothing against rain. This class is designated for garments that have a tested breathability value which meets the minimum requirement for water vapor resistance according to the specifications laid out in the standard. The practical implication of a Class 1 result is that the garment allows a limited amount of water vapor to pass through, making it suitable for less intensive or shorter duration activities in wet conditions.

• EN 13688:2013

  EN 13688:2013 is a European standard 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. 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.

  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.

• 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.
