Protective clothing and materials with the EN ISO 14116:2015 rating are tested for limited flame spread, ensuring they do not continue to burn or melt after brief contact with small flames. This means your garment will resist ignition and self-extinguish quickly, reducing the risk of injury from minor flame exposure.

Test results

Chemical protective clothing, like coveralls and suits, with the EN ISO 13982-1:2004 rating are tested for resistance against penetration by airborne solid particles and for robust seam integrity. This ensures the clothing provides reliable full-body protection from hazardous dusts and fine dry chemicals.

Test results

Protective clothing with the EN 13034:2005+A1:2009 rating is tested for limited protection against liquid chemicals, such as light spray or splashes. This ensures the garment resists chemical penetration and repellency, allowing you to work safely with low-risk chemical exposure and remove it quickly if contaminated.

Test results

Protective clothing with the EN 1149-5:2018 rating is tested for its ability to dissipate electrostatic charges. This prevents sparks that could ignite explosive atmospheres, keeping the wearer safe in hazardous environments.

Test results

Protective clothing with the EN 13688:2013/A1:2021 rating are tested for general requirements including comfort, harmlessness of materials, proper sizing, and durability. This ensures the garment is safe, fits well, won't cause irritation, and maintains its quality over time for your protection.

Protective clothing with the EN 1073-2:2002 rating are tested for protection against particulate radioactive contamination. This ensures the clothing effectively minimizes the inward leakage of hazardous radioactive particles to keep you safe.

Protective clothing with the EN 14325:2004 rating are tested for the physical performance of their materials, seams, and joins, including resistance to abrasion, tearing, and chemical penetration. This ensures you can compare and choose garments that provide the appropriate level of protection against various chemical hazards.

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.
