Standards and labels

• 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.

• PPE Category 1

  PPE stands for "personal protective equipment." PPE Category 1 refers to equipment that is simple and easy to use, and has a lower level of risk. Examples of PPE Category 1 include gloves, goggles, and simple respirators. In Europe, PPE Category 1 must meet certain safety standards set by the European Union. This means that it must be designed and manufactured to protect the user without causing harm. Companies that make or sell PPE must prove that it meets these standards.

• 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.

• Made in Europe

  "Made in Europe" is a label used to indicate that a product has been manufactured or produced in Europe. The European Union (EU) has regulations that set the requirements for the "Made in" label. According to EU rules, products that are labeled as "Made in" must be entirely produced within the EU. This means that all the stages of production, from raw materials to the finished product, must take place within the EU. However, the EU does not have specific rules for labeling a product "Made in Europe" as a whole, because Europe is not a single country but a continent. Each country may have their own regulations for labeling a product "Made in Europe", and it's important to check the regulations of the country where the product will be sold.
