• EN 342:2004

  EN 342:2004 is a European standard that sets out safety requirements for personal protective equipment (PPE) to be used for protection against cold. The standard defines the general requirements for PPE, including design and construction, marking, instructions for use, and packaging. Performance requirements include things like thermal insulation and protection against water penetration and test results may include measurements of these properties. The standard also specifies the testing methods that should be used to test PPE, such as measuring the thermal resistance of the materials and the resistance of the garment to water penetration.

• 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 3

  EN 343:2019 is designed to ensure that protective clothing provides specific levels of protection against rain, considering its waterproof capabilities. Class 3 in this standard represents the highest level of waterproofness, indicating that the garment successfully resists a high volume of water penetration (more than 13000 Pascal Pressure units after pre-treatment). The test method used involves simulating wet weather conditions, where the fabric is exposed to varying degrees of water projections and pressures to evaluate its resistance. Fabrics that achieve Class 3 certification tend to have undergone rigorous testing such as high-pressure spray tests or being subject to a controlled volume of water for a defined period. These are particularly relevant for professional use in extremely wet environments where the highest level of water resistance is necessary, providing critical protection in conditions from heavy rain to immersion scenarios. This high classification impacts the practical usability of such clothing in industries such as outdoor work, marine activities, or emergency services where maximum protection from water exposure is critical for safety and performance.

  Breathability Class 3

  Breathability performance in the category of Class 3 under the standard EN 343:2019 reflects a high level (RET<20) of breathability for protective clothing. This category is designed to provide comfort and prolonged wearability in environments requiring good air permeability through the garment. Specifically, Class 3 is the highest class, indicating excellent breathability properties which are tested and certified to meet stringent regulations for vapor permeability and resistance. The practical implication of a Class 3 breathability result in EN 343:2019 is that the fabric offers superior breathability, making it suitable for use in garments worn in active work or in environments where higher air permeability is necessary to reduce the risk of heat stress and to maintain comfort during extended wear.

• EN ISO 20471:2013

  EN ISO 20471:2013 is a standard for high visibility clothing worn in certain work environments. It sets guidelines for clothing to make sure people can see the person wearing it well in low light conditions. Test results are used to make sure the clothing meets these rules. The tests include checking the amount of reflective material on the clothing and how well it can be seen from different angles.

• 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.
