  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+A1:2009

  EN 13034:2005 is a European standard that outlines the requirements and test methods for Type 6 protective clothing designed to provide protection against liquid chemical hazards. It specifies criteria for the fabric's resistance to penetration by liquid chemicals and establishes guidelines for the overall design and construction of the garments. The amendment A1:2009 introduces updates and refinements to enhance the performance and reliability of Type 6 protective clothing, ensuring improved protection for workers exposed to liquid chemical splashes and sprays. These standards are essential in industries where workers are at risk of encountering liquid chemical hazards, ensuring their safety and well-being.

  Liquid Chemical Protection Type 6 PB

  EN 13034:2005+A1:2009 specifies the performance requirements for protective clothing that offers limited protection against liquid chemicals, identified specifically as Type 6 PB (partial body protection). The 'Type 6 PB' designation implies that the protective garment has been tested and confirmed to provide effective defense against light spray and minor splashes of liquid chemicals, but only for parts of the body such as aprons, sleeves, or boots rather than full body suits. This standard tests the fabric's barrier effectiveness by applying a defined volume of liquid to the garment and assessing any penetration or repellence under controlled laboratory conditions. Garments achieving Type 6 PB classification are crucial for tasks in industries like chemical processing or handling where full body coverage is unnecessary, thereby offering flexibility and targeted protection, reducing the risk of chemical exposure to critical areas of the body.

• 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 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.

• EN 14126:2003/AC:2004

  EN 14126:2003, along with the amendment AC:2004, is a European standard that specifically addresses protective clothing designed to provide protection against infectious agents, including viruses and bacteria. The standard outlines the requirements and test methods for evaluating the material's resistance to penetration by microorganisms. The amendment AC:2004 introduces updates and refinements to enhance the performance and reliability of the protective clothing, ensuring improved protection for individuals exposed to biological hazards. Compliance with EN 14126:2003 and its amendment ensures that the protective clothing meets the necessary standards for barrier protection against infectious agents.

• EN 1073-2:2002

  EN 1073-2:2002 is a European standard that defines the requirements for measuring and evaluating the resistance of textiles to penetration of airborne radioactive particles. The standard includes procedures for measuring the ability of textile materials to prevent the penetration of radioactive particles through the fabric. The performance requirements specify the conditions for testing, as well as the evaluation criteria for determining resistance. Possible test results include a rating on a scale of 1-5, with 5 indicating the highest level of resistance to particle penetration.

• 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.
