Standards and labels

• EN 1149-3:2004

  EN 1149-3:2004 is a European standard that specifies the requirements for electrostatic dissipative (ESD) footwear. The standard defines performance requirements for material, design, and testing of ESD footwear. The footwear must be able to effectively discharge static electricity and protect the wearer from ESD. Testing includes measuring the surface resistance of the footwear material. Pass/fail results are based on the footwear meeting or not meeting the specified requirements.

  Electrostatic Properties Tested

  The EN 1149-3:2004 standard specifies the test method for assessing the electrostatic properties of materials, specifically their ability to dissipate an electrostatic charge. The crucial test result for the standard is that a material must have a half decay time of less than 4 seconds or a shielding factor greater than 0.2 to meet the criteria stipulated by EN1149-5. This is determined through a testing process where a specimen is subjected to an induction effect that charges the material. Its ability to dissipate this charge is then measured by recording the decrease in field charge observed by a probe positioned above the test surface. The practical implications of this result for materials, especially in safety and protective clothing, are significant as it ensures that the material can quickly neutralize electrostatic charges, reducing the risk of discharge sparks in environments where flammable or explosive gases may be present.

• EN ISO 14116:2015

  EN ISO 14116:2015 is a standard that deals with the flammability of clothing and other materials used to protect against heat and flame. It includes tests to measure how long it takes for a material to catch fire and how long it takes for the fire to spread. The standard also includes performance requirements for materials to be used in certain situations, such as those that are worn by firefighters or oil and gas workers. Possible test results include how well a material meets the standard's requirements for flammability and how well it performs in different conditions.

• 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.

  Reflective Strip Area Grade 3

• 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.

• 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.
