Standards and labels

• 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 13758-2:2003+A1:2006

  EN 13758-2:2003+A1:2006 is an amendment to the European standard EN 13758-2:2003. This amendment sets additional requirements for testing the performance of air filters used in ventilation systems. The standard defines test methods for measuring the filter's ability to remove gaseous pollutants such as odors and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from the air. It also specifies test methods for measuring the filter's airflow resistance and filter leakage. The amendment also includes additional test methods for measuring the filter's ability to remove microorganisms and radioactive particles. Test results should show the filter's efficiency in removing gaseous pollutants, microorganisms and radioactive particles, as well as its airflow resistance and filter leakage. The standard also specifies labeling and documentation requirements for air filters that meet its performance requirements.

  UVA & UVB Radiation UPF #,##

  The EN 13758-2:2003+A1:2006 standard outlines the criteria for assessing the Ultraviolet Protection Factor (UPF) of textiles intended to provide protection against ultraviolet (UV) solar radiation. The result indicates the level of ultraviolet protection afforded by the fabric. Specifically, this number represents how much UV radiation (both UVA and UVB) the textile can block. A higher UPF number equates to better UV protection, where a rating of 50 means that the fabric will allow only 1/50th of the sun's UV rays to pass through.The test method used to determine this result involves exposing the textile to a simulated solar spectrum and measuring the amount of UV radiation that penetrates the fabric. This standard ensures that the fabric's weave, thickness, color, and stretch, among other factors, are considered during testing. The results from this testing are crucial for manufacturers of sun-protective clothing, as they provide a measurable and standardized level of UV protection to be communicated to consumers. Products meeting a high UPF rating are particularly significant for consumers who require superior protection from UV radiation due to health concerns or environmental exposure considerations.

• 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.
