  Airborne Solid Particle Protection Type 5

  EN ISO 13982-1:2004 is a European standard intended to assess the protective properties of clothing against airborne solid particles. Its purpose is to ensure that protective clothing provides adequate protection to the wearer against solid particle hazards, such as dust and powders. The designation Type 5 signifies the level of protection offered by the clothing against airborne solid particles, indicating that it provides protection against particles larger than 5 micrometers in size. This result implies that the clothing is suitable for environments where exposure to airborne solid particles is a concern, such as construction sites or industrial settings. The test method used to determine this result typically involves subjecting the clothing material to aerosolized solid particles and assessing its ability to prevent penetration of particles larger than 5 micrometers in size. The practical implications of this result for the product category include ensuring that protective clothing effectively shields the wearer from hazardous solid particles, thereby reducing the risk of respiratory illnesses and injuries in various occupational settings.

• EN 13034:2005

  EN 13034:2005 is a European standard that specifies the requirements and test methods for Type 6 protective clothing designed to provide protection against liquid chemicals. This standard sets criteria for the fabric's resistance to penetration by liquid chemicals and establishes guidelines for the overall design and construction of the clothing. It ensures that Type 6 protective clothing offers reliable protection for workers in industries where they may be exposed to liquid chemical hazards, but it may not be suitable for protection against airborne particles.

  Liquid Chemical Protection Type 6

  EN 13034:2005 specifies the requirements and test methods for protective clothing that provides limited protection against liquid chemicals, designated as Type 6. The 'Type 6' classification indicates that the clothing has been tested and found capable of resisting light spray and minor splashes of liquid chemicals. This test method assesses the fabric's ability to prevent penetration from a synthetic blood solution sprayed at the garment at different angles and pressures, simulating realistic conditions where accidental chemical splashes might occur. Protective clothing that achieves this classification is essential for workers in industries such as chemical manufacturing, painting, or pesticide application, where there is a risk of exposure to harmful liquids but full immersion is not expected, thus enhancing worker safety by providing sufficient protection in low-volume chemical exposure scenarios.

• EN ISO 13934-1:1999

  EN ISO 13934-1:1999 is a standard for testing the strength of textile fabrics. It sets guidelines for measuring how much force a fabric can withstand before breaking. The fabric needs to meet certain requirements such as minimal elongation and minimal breaking strength. The test results will give a value in newtons or similar unit of force. It's used to evaluate the quality and durability of fabrics.

• EN ISO 13935-2:1999

  EN ISO 13935-2:1999 is a standard that defines the methods for testing the tear propagation resistance of textile fabrics. It includes requirements for testing equipment, sample preparation and test procedures. Test results should include the tear propagation resistance, measured in newton. The standard applies to all types of fabrics, and it is used to measure how well a fabric resists tearing or spreading of a tear once it has started.

• EN ISO 7854:1997

  EN ISO 7854:1997 is a standard for testing the flammability of automotive interior materials. It specifies the method for measuring the burning behavior of materials used in car interiors such as seats, dashboard, door panels, and headliners in a vertical position. The performance requirements include how quickly the material burns, how much it continues to burn after the flame is removed, and how much smoke is produced. Possible test results include a flame spread index, after flame index, smoke density, and toxic gas emissions. These test results are used to evaluate the flammability of the materials used in car interiors and to classify it according to the standard's criteria.

• EN ISO 9073-4:1997

  EN ISO 9073-4:1997 is a standard that sets rules for testing and measuring the performance of textile fabrics. It specifies the test methods and performance requirements for the resistance of textile fabrics to water penetration, which refers to how well the fabric repels water and prevents it from penetrating the fibers. The test results are measured in terms of the fabric's resistance to water penetration. The performance requirement is that the textile fabric must meet certain standards for resistance to water penetration, meaning it should repel water well and prevent it from penetrating the fibers.

• EN 1149-5:2008

  EN 1149-5:2008 is a European standard that specifies the requirements for electrostatic dissipative (ESD) gloves. The standard defines performance requirements for material, design, and testing of ESD gloves. The gloves must be able to effectively discharge static electricity and protect the wearer from ESD. Testing includes measuring the surface resistance of the glove material. Pass/fail results are based on the gloves meeting or not meeting the specified requirements.

  Material Performance Tested

  The EN 1149-5:2008 standard specifies the performance requirements for material used in protective clothing designed to avoid incendiary discharges. The test result Tested means that the material has undergone relevant evaluation procedures to confirm its static dissipative properties. These tests generally involve measuring the electrical resistance of the material in ohms (Ω) to determine its capability to dissipate electrostatic charges and prevent sparking that could ignite flammable substances. The practical implications of this result for the respective product category (like protective workwear for use in explosive atmospheres) are significant, as it ensures that the clothing provides a level of protection against electrostatic discharges, potentially reducing the risk of fire or explosion in environments with flammable gases, vapors, or dusts.

• EN 863:1995

  EN 863:1995 is a European standard that sets out the requirements for stationary fire extinguishers. These are devices that can put out fires by extinguishing the flames, and are typically installed in a fixed location like a building or vehicle. The standard covers the performance requirements for fire fighting capability, mechanical strength, durability, safety and environmental factors of stationary fire extinguishers. To meet this standard, a stationary fire extinguisher must be able to effectively put out a fire, be able to withstand certain mechanical stress, be resistant to wear and tear, have safety features such as pressure relief devices and warning devices, be able to function in different environmental conditions, and have clear markings and instructions for use. Possible test results include measurements of the extinguisher's fire fighting capability, its mechanical strength, durability, safety features, environmental factors and user instructions.

• 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.

• PPE Category 3

  PPE stands for "personal protective equipment." PPE Category 3 refers to equipment that is complex and provide the highest level of protection such as powered respirators, SCBA, and full body suits. In Europe, PPE Category 3 must meet certain safety standards set by the European Union, which 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. They also must have a quality management system in place, have to be audited regularly by a notified body and have to have a technical documentation.
