Standards and labels

• EN 61340-5-1:2016

  EN 61340-5-1:2016 is a European standard that defines the requirements and test methods for measuring the performance of ESD (electrostatic discharge) protective clothing. This standard covers the performance of clothing, including material, design and construction, that is intended to protect the human body against electrostatic discharges, which are a type of electrical shock caused by the build-up of static electricity on the body or clothing. The standard also includes test methods to evaluate the clothing's performance, including tests for electric strength, charge decay, and resistance to penetration of electrostatic charges. Test results must show that the clothing meets or exceeds the required performance levels and other requirements specified in the standard.

  Electrostatic Discharge Antistatic

  The standard EN 61340-5-1:2016 specifies requirements and test methods for materials and products that control electrostatic discharge to prevent damage or malfunction of electronic/components in sensitive environments. When a product is labeled as Antistatic under this standard, it signifies that the material or protective equipment has properties that prevent the build-up of static electricity by allowing it to dissipate. This result generally implies a surface resistance in a specific range or contains materials that dissipate electrostatic charges. Testing for antistatic properties typically includes measuring the resistance of the material or product by applying a voltage across it and determining its resistance using tools such as an electrostatic voltmeter or a surface resistance meter. This test is essential in environments such as electronic assembly or explosive atmospheres, where static discharge can be harmful. Properly marked materials under EN 61340-5-1:2016 ensure that the products are safe for use in settings where electrostatic discharge could pose a risk, thereby safeguarding sensitive equipment or environments from electrostatic damage.

• EN ISO 20347:2012

  EN ISO 20347:2012 is a standard for occupational footwear. It defines the performance requirements and test methods for occupational footwear, including requirements for slip resistance, water penetration, and energy absorption in the heel area. It also describes the markings and labeling that should be on the footwear and the information that should be included in the user manual. Possible test results include whether the footwear meets the requirements for slip resistance, water penetration, energy absorption in the heel area and compliance with the markings, labeling and information in the user manual.

• 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.

• Textiles

  Textiles are materials made from fibers, such as cotton, wool, or polyester. In Europe, there are rules for how textiles should be made, sold, and labeled. These rules are set by the European Union. These rules ensure that textiles are safe and do not contain harmful chemicals, that they are labeled correctly and that the use of certain dangerous chemicals are banned. These rules are set to protect the health and safety of consumers and the environment. Companies that make or sell textiles in the EU must comply with these rules.
