Standards and labels

• EN IEC 61482-1-2:2018

  EN IEC 61482-1-2:2018 is a European standard that specifies the safety requirements and test methods for clothing that is worn to protect the wearer from thermal hazards such as heat and fire. The standard lays out the minimum safety requirements for the design, construction and performance of the clothing, as well as the test methods for measuring its effectiveness in protecting the wearer from thermal hazards. Test results may include information on the clothing's thermal protection performance, flammability and other safety features. This standard is intended for use in industrial environments where the risk of thermal hazards is present, such as in welding, metal cutting and other operations that generate heat or fire. This standard applies to flame-resistant clothing for thermal hazard protection, and it includes the test methods to determine the thermal protection performance of materials and clothing.

  Low-voltage Circuit Arc APC 1

  The standard EN IEC 61482-1-2:2018 outlines methods for testing the protection level of materials and garments against the thermal hazards of electrical arcs. Specifically, the APC (Arc Protection Class) 1 rating indicates a specific performance category under this standard, which reflects the minimum level of protection offered by the material or clothing against the thermal effects of an electric arc. The test method used involves a directed and constrained arc, commonly known as the 'Box test'. In this method, the sample material or garment is exposed to a defined electric arc within a controlled box setup to simulate realistic arc flash conditions. The parameters like arc current, duration, and the geometry of the setup are defined strictly to ensure reproducibility and comparability of results. The APC rating derived from this test provides essential data for industries, where workers are exposed to electrical hazards, enabling the selection of appropriate safety clothing that meets regulated safety standards to protect against potential thermal risks posed by electrical arcs. This testing not only assures compliance with safety regulations but also significantly contributes to the enhancement of occupational safety in environments with electrical arc hazards.

• EN 1149-5:2018

  EN 1149-5:2018 is a European standard that specifies the requirements for electrostatic dissipative (ESD) gloves. This standard defines performance requirements for material, design, and testing of ESD gloves. The gloves must be able to effectively discharge static electricity and protect the wearer from ESD. Testing includes measuring the surface resistance of the glove material and electrical resistance of the glove. Pass/fail results are based on the gloves meeting or not meeting the specified requirements.

• 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 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.

• Oeko-Tex Standard 100

  Oeko-Tex Standard 100 is a product certification program for textiles, which is awarded by the Oeko-Tex Association. This program verifies that the textile products are free from harmful chemicals. To be able to use the Oeko-Tex Standard 100 label, a product must meet certain requirements set by the Oeko-Tex Association which include limits on the levels of harmful substances such as pesticides, heavy metals, and formaldehyde. The textile products are inspected and certified by Oeko-Tex, they can use the Oeko-Tex Standard 100 label on their packaging to show that they are free from harmful chemicals. This certification is for all types of textiles, from raw materials to finished products, and it is globally recognized.
