Standards and labels

• EN 13997:1999

  EN 13997:1999 is a European standard for fire dampers. Fire dampers are devices that are installed in buildings to stop the spread of fire and smoke. The standard tells how these devices should be designed, installed, and checked to make sure they work well. It also tells how well the devices should work during a fire, like how long they can stop fire and smoke from spreading. Test results show if the fire dampers meet the requirements of the standard and work as they should during a fire.

  Cut Resistance Level D

  The EN 13997:1999 standard for cut resistance classifies the ability of materials to resist cuts by sharp objects, aiding the assessment of personal protective gear like gloves. A specific level, such as 'Level D', in this standard indicates that the material offers a moderate to high level of resistance, capable of withstanding a force of 15 newtons before being penetrated. The test for determining cut resistance levels according to EN ISO 13997 involves the use of a TDM test device, equipped with a single-use straight blade. The blade is drawn once, horizontally, across the material, and the blade's travel distance after cutting through the fabric is measured. The force exerted is recorded in newtons, marking the material’s level of cut resistance. This test is crucial for items regularly exposed to hazards from sharp objects, ensuring they meet safety requirements and protect users in environments such as metal handling and maintenance work .

• CE Marking

  CE Marking is a label that shows a product meets certain safety and environmental standards set by the European Union. To get the CE Marking, a company must test and certify their product meets these standards. CE Marking is required for many products sold in the EU, including electronics, machinery, toys and medical devices. It helps ensure that products are safe for consumers and the environment, and allows for easy trade within the EU.
