• 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.

  Downpour X

  EN 343:2019 is a standard that delineates requirements and assessment methodologies for protective clothing, specifically tailored to garments intended to offer protection against precipitation and wet conditions.Result X signifies that the garment's performance in resisting water penetration during simulated downpours has not been specified or assessed. The practical implications of this result are notable, as it indicates that the garment may not offer adequate protection against heavy rain and prolonged exposure to wet conditions, potentially compromising wearer comfort and safety, particularly in outdoor work environments where protection from inclement weather is paramount.

  Breathability Class 4

  EN 343:2019 is a standard that specifies requirements and test methods for protective clothing, including garments designed to provide protection against precipitation and wet conditions, with the aim of ensuring both waterproofness and breathability. Class 4 in Breathability meabs the highest level of breathability, indicating that the garment allows significant moisture vapor transmission while maintaining its waterproofness. This classification suggests that the garment provides excellent comfort for the wearer by allowing sweat and moisture to escape, thereby reducing the risk of overheating and discomfort during prolonged wear. The test method involves placing a fabric sample over a permeable plate in a controlled environment, applying a specific water pressure to simulate rain, and measuring the fabric's resistance to water penetration and its ability to transmit water vapor. Garments achieving Class 4 in Breathability offer practical advantages, as they are suitable for use in demanding outdoor activities and occupations where both waterproofness and breathability are essential, such as outdoor work in variable weather conditions.

  Waterproofness Class 4

  EN 343:2019 is a standard that sets forth requirements and test methods for protective clothing, specifically focusing on garments intended to offer protection against precipitation and wet conditions, ensuring waterproofness and breathability. Class 4 signifies the highest level of waterproof performance, indicating that the garment effectively prevents water penetration under high hydrostatic pressure. This classification suggests that the garment offers superior protection against heavy rain and wet conditions, keeping the wearer dry and comfortable. The test method involves subjecting fabric samples to a specified water pressure for a predetermined duration and assessing any water penetration. Garments achieving Class 4 in Waterproofness are highly suitable for use in environments where protection against heavy rain and prolonged exposure to moisture is essential, such as outdoor work and activities in inclement weather conditions, ensuring user safety and comfort.

  Breathability Class 2

  In the EN 343:2019 standard, a breathability rating of Class 2 indicates moderate (20<RET<40) breathability suitable for protective clothing intended for use in adverse weather conditions. This class signifies that the fabric used in the garment allows a certain amount of water vapor to pass through, thereby reducing condensation and enhancing wearer comfort. The testing method employs specific conditions under which the material is tested for water vapor transmission.

• 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.

• EN 342:2017

  EN 342:2017 is a European standard that sets out safety requirements for personal protective equipment (PPE) to be used for protection against cold. It is an updated version of the original standard EN 342:2004 and it includes new and improved requirements for the PPE. 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, breathability, 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 and breathability.
