Standards and labels

• EN 14404:2004+A1:2010

  EN 14404:2004+A1:2010 is a European standard that sets the rules for chimneys made of clay. The standard explains how the chimneys should be made, how strong and durable they must be, and how they should be tested to make sure they meet these rules. The amendment A1:2010 includes additional requirements for the performance of chimneys and additional test methods to check the performance of the chimneys. Possible test results include measurements of strength, stretchiness, and how well the chimneys resist fire. The standard helps make sure chimneys made of clay are safe to use.

• 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 IEC 61482-1-1:2019

  EN IEC 61482-1-1:2019 is a European standard that specifies the requirements and test methods for flame-resistant clothing for electric arc protection. It lays out minimum performance requirements for the design, construction, and performance of flame-resistant clothing, as well as test methods to measure its effectiveness in protecting the wearer from an electric arc. Test results may include information on the clothing's arc protection performance, thermal protection, and flammability. This standard is for flame-resistant clothing that is intended for use in electrical environments where the risk of an electric arc is present. It covers the general requirements for flame-resistant clothing for electric arc protection and test methods for the determination of the arc protection performance of materials and clothing.

• 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.

  Welding Protection Class 1

  The standard EN 11611:2015 establishes criteria for protective clothing used during welding and allied processes, specifically regarding safety to reduce the risk of harm from sparks, spatter, and other hazards associated with welding. In this context, a Class 1 test result indicates the clothing provides basic protection suitable for less hazardous welding techniques where lower levels of spatter and radiant heat are anticipated. The test for this classification involves subjecting the fabric to controlled ignition and monitoring its resistance to flame spread, heat transfer, and the formation of holes. The fabric material must neither ignite nor continue to burn after the source of ignition is removed. In practical terms, products achieving Class 1 under EN 11611:2015 are suitable for types of welding that produce lower spatter and radiant heat, making them ideal for less intense welding operations but not for those that involve higher risks that might require more robust protective gear categorized in higher classes.

• 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.
