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 2

  The standard EN IEC 61482-1-2:2018 addresses the testing requirements for protective clothing against the thermal hazards of an electric arc. The test result APC 2 signifies that the product falls under Arc Protection Class 2. This indicates a middle level of protection, as specified by the standard, where the product successfully withstands a definite level of energy exposure, providing a defined level of safety to the wearer. The test for this standard involves simulating an electric arc scenario to measure the clothing's capacity to resist the thermal effects. The test method, Box Test, incorporates specific configurations of electrodes and electrical settings to mimic the heat and pressure of an electric arc. The material or garment is subjected to this controlled environment to assess its protective characteristics. Understanding this classification is fundamentally important when procuring protective gear for environments with electrical hazards, as it directly relates to the safety and adequacy of the protective clothing in preventing burns from an electric arc.

• 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.

  Second Degree Burn 50 % ATPV

  The EN IEC 61482-1-1:2019 standard specifies the requirements and test methods for materials and garments used for protective clothing against the thermal hazards of an electric arc. The Second Degree Burn 50 % ATPV result refers to the Arc Thermal Performance Value at which there is a 50% probability of a wearer sustaining a second-degree burn through the fabric, when exposed to an electric arc. The test is conducted using a controlled arc exposure, where a fabric sample is subjected to an electric arc generated by a specific current and voltage for a specified period of time. Sensors measure the amount of heat transmitted through the fabric to a calorimeter. The calories per square centimeter (cal/cm²) required to cause second-degree burn injuries on human skin are determined. This ATPV value is important as it helps in selecting the correct level of protection required for workers exposed to electric arc hazards. This type of result depicts a balance between protection and required wearability of the fabric, ensuring that the garment not only provides thermal protection but also remains comfortable enough for regular use by electrical workers.

• 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.

• EN 11611:2015

  EN 11611:2015 is a European standard that specifies the requirements for protective clothing for use in welding and allied processes. 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

  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.
