Standards and labels

• 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.

• EN 60903:2003

  EN 60903:2003 is a European safety standard for electrical live working. It sets rules for gloves and sleeves worn by electricians when working on live electrical parts. The standard includes requirements for materials, insulation, strength and durability. Tests are done to make sure the gloves and sleeves meet the standard, such as insulation, resistance to penetration, heat, flame, aging and durability. The standard also has guidelines for how to choose and use gloves and sleeves safely.

  Insulating Material R Category

  The standard EN 60903:2003 pertains to the requirements and testing methods for insulating gloves used to protect against electrical hazards. Specifically, the designation R Category refers to the glove’s resistance to acid, oil, ozone and high mechanical strain. The test assesses how effective the insulating material of the glove is in resisting degradation or failure when exposed to these substances. This is crucial for ensuring the safety and efficiency of workers in environments where they may come into contact with such harsh chemicals. The testing method involves exposing the glove material to controlled environments containing the specified chemicals and observing any signs of degradation or performance failure. This result informs procurement professionals on whether these gloves maintain their insulating properties in specific harmful environments, contributing significantly to worker safety in electrical, chemical, and oil industries.

  Insulating Material C Category

  EN 60903:2003 is a European standard established to ensure the safety and reliability of insulating materials utilized in electrical work. Its primary objective is to verify that these materials meet stringent requirements for electrical safety, particularly in mitigating the risk of electric shock. The C category designation denotes resistance against extreme cold, indicating that the insulating material can maintain its effectiveness and structural integrity even in low-temperature environments. This result implies that the material is suitable for use in cold climates or applications where exposure to extreme cold is likely. The test method used to determine resistance against extreme cold typically involves subjecting the material to low temperatures for a specified duration and assessing its ability to withstand cold-induced brittleness or degradation. The practical implications of this result for the product category include ensuring that insulating materials remain reliable and functional in environments where exposure to extreme cold could otherwise compromise their performance, thereby enhancing safety and reliability in electrical installations and operations conducted in cold climates or conditions.

  Insulating Material Class 2

  The EN 60903:2003 standard outlines requirements and test methods for electrical insulating gloves, specifically focusing on their ability to protect against electric shocks. The 'Class 2' designation within this standard implies that the gloves have been tested and meet the requirements for working under electrical voltage levels of up to 17,000 volts. The testing process involves subjecting the gloves to electrical, mechanical, and environmental challenges to ensure their safety and performance. Practical implications for users in occupations dealing with electricity mean that Class 2 gloves offer a reliable level of protection for working under specified high-voltage conditions, providing both safety and compliance with European regulations for electrical insulation.

• 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.
