Standards and labels

• EN IEC 61482-1-2:2018

  EN IEC 61482-1-2:2018 is a European standard that specifies the safety requirements and test methods for clothing that is worn to protect the wearer from thermal hazards such as heat and fire. The standard lays out the minimum safety requirements for the design, construction and performance of the clothing, as well as the test methods for measuring its effectiveness in protecting the wearer from thermal hazards. Test results may include information on the clothing's thermal protection performance, flammability and other safety features. This standard is intended for use in industrial environments where the risk of thermal hazards is present, such as in welding, metal cutting and other operations that generate heat or fire. This standard applies to flame-resistant clothing for thermal hazard protection, and it includes the test methods to determine the thermal protection performance of materials and clothing.

  Low-voltage Circuit Arc APC 2

  The standard EN IEC 61482-1-2:2018 addresses the testing requirements for protective clothing against the thermal hazards of an electric arc. The test result APC 2 signifies that the product falls under Arc Protection Class 2. This indicates a middle level of protection, as specified by the standard, where the product successfully withstands a definite level of energy exposure, providing a defined level of safety to the wearer. The test for this standard involves simulating an electric arc scenario to measure the clothing's capacity to resist the thermal effects. The test method, Box Test, incorporates specific configurations of electrodes and electrical settings to mimic the heat and pressure of an electric arc. The material or garment is subjected to this controlled environment to assess its protective characteristics. Understanding this classification is fundamentally important when procuring protective gear for environments with electrical hazards, as it directly relates to the safety and adequacy of the protective clothing in preventing burns from an electric arc.

• EN 60903:1992

  EN 60903:1992 is a European standard for electrical safety of live working. It sets rules for the design, performance, testing, and labeling of electrical insulation gloves and sleeves worn by electricians while working on live electrical parts. The standard includes specific requirements for materials, electrical insulation, and strength of the gloves and sleeves. Tests are done in the lab to check if they meet the standards, such as electrical insulation and penetration resistance. The standard also includes guidelines for how to choose and use the protective gloves and sleeves.

• EN ISO 9001:2015

  EN ISO 9001:2015 is a standard that sets out the requirements for a quality management system (QMS). It is a set of guidelines that organizations can follow to ensure that they meet customer requirements and enhance customer satisfaction. The standard is based on the plan-do-check-act model and focuses on continuous improvement. It covers the design, development, production, installation, and servicing of products. Organizations can get certified to this standard, which means that they have been independently audited and found to meet the requirements of the standard. The certification process includes regular audits to ensure that the organization continues to meet the standard's requirements.

• 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.
