  Reflective Strip Area Grade 2

  The EU standard EN ISO 20471:2013, which outlines requirements for high-visibility clothing, specifically includes criteria for the reflective strip area needed for different grades of visibility and safety. A Grade 2 result identifies that reflective tape is 0.13 m2 and fluorescent material is 0.5 m2. This rating is determined through a combination of tests that assess how effectively the garment’s reflective strips can reflect light in low visibility or night conditions. For items rated Grade 2, this typically means the product has been assessed to provide a good level of visibility and reflectivity that is deemed suitable for environments with some level of light or medium-low risk areas. It assures that the wearer will be adequately noticed by others, particularly in scenarios where visibility is critical for safety, such as road work at night or in adverse weather conditions.

• EN 13758-2:2003

  EN 13758-2:2003 is a European standard that sets requirements for testing the performance of air filters used in ventilation systems. The standard defines test methods for measuring the filter's ability to remove gaseous pollutants such as odors and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from the air. It also specifies test methods for measuring the filter's airflow resistance and filter leakage. Test results should show the filter's efficiency in removing gaseous pollutants, as well as its airflow resistance and filter leakage. The standard also specifies labeling and documentation requirements for air filters that meet its performance requirements.

  UVA & UVB Radiation UPF #,##

  The standard EN 13758-2:2003 pertains to the classification and marking of textile products concerning their solar ultraviolet protective properties. Specifically, when textiles are marked with a UPF (Ultraviolet Protection Factor) number, this indicates the level of UV protection provided by the fabric. The higher the UPF number, the greater the amount of UV radiation that is blocked by the textile. The test method defined in this standard involves exposing the fabric to a radiation source simulating solar UV radiation and then measuring the amount of UVA and UVB radiation that passes through the fabric. Results from this testing are quantified into a UPF rating, which lets consumers know the effectiveness of the textile at protecting against UV radiation. Practically, a higher UPF rating on textiles, such as clothing or sunshades, will offer greater protection against harmful UV rays, reducing the risk associated with solar ultraviolet exposure like skin damage or skin cancer. This makes the UPF rating an essential factor for safety in products intended for use in environments with significant sun exposure.

• 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.

• 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 2

  PPE stands for "personal protective equipment." PPE Category 2 refers to equipment that is more complex, and has a higher level of risk. Examples of PPE Category 2 include safety helmets, ear protection, and fall arrest equipment. In Europe, PPE Category 2 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 and have to be audited regularly by a notified body.
