• EN 863:1995

  EN 863:1995 is a European standard that sets out the requirements for stationary fire extinguishers. These are devices that can put out fires by extinguishing the flames, and are typically installed in a fixed location like a building or vehicle. The standard covers the performance requirements for fire fighting capability, mechanical strength, durability, safety and environmental factors of stationary fire extinguishers. To meet this standard, a stationary fire extinguisher must be able to effectively put out a fire, be able to withstand certain mechanical stress, be resistant to wear and tear, have safety features such as pressure relief devices and warning devices, be able to function in different environmental conditions, and have clear markings and instructions for use. Possible test results include measurements of the extinguisher's fire fighting capability, its mechanical strength, durability, safety features, environmental factors and user instructions.

• EN ISO 7854:1997

  EN ISO 7854:1997 is a standard for testing the flammability of automotive interior materials. It specifies the method for measuring the burning behavior of materials used in car interiors such as seats, dashboard, door panels, and headliners in a vertical position. The performance requirements include how quickly the material burns, how much it continues to burn after the flame is removed, and how much smoke is produced. Possible test results include a flame spread index, after flame index, smoke density, and toxic gas emissions. These test results are used to evaluate the flammability of the materials used in car interiors and to classify it according to the standard's criteria.

• EN ISO 9073-4:1997

  EN ISO 9073-4:1997 is a standard that sets rules for testing and measuring the performance of textile fabrics. It specifies the test methods and performance requirements for the resistance of textile fabrics to water penetration, which refers to how well the fabric repels water and prevents it from penetrating the fibers. The test results are measured in terms of the fabric's resistance to water penetration. The performance requirement is that the textile fabric must meet certain standards for resistance to water penetration, meaning it should repel water well and prevent it from penetrating the fibers.

• EN 13034:2005

  EN 13034:2005 is a European standard that specifies the requirements and test methods for Type 6 protective clothing designed to provide protection against liquid chemicals. This standard sets criteria for the fabric's resistance to penetration by liquid chemicals and establishes guidelines for the overall design and construction of the clothing. It ensures that Type 6 protective clothing offers reliable protection for workers in industries where they may be exposed to liquid chemical hazards, but it may not be suitable for protection against airborne particles.

  Liquid Chemical Protection Type 6 PB

  EN 13034:2005 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 ISO 6530:2005

  EN ISO 6530:2005 is a standard that sets guidelines for testing the resistance of plastic materials to low-temperature impact. It defines low-temperature impact as the amount of force a plastic can withstand before breaking or showing damage at low temperature. It also sets performance requirements for how much impact a plastic should be able to withstand before showing signs of damage at low temperature. The test results will include the level of low-temperature impact on the plastic and whether it meets the performance requirements set by the standard.

• EN 1149-5:2018

  EN 1149-5:2018 is a European standard that specifies the requirements for electrostatic dissipative (ESD) gloves. This 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 and electrical resistance of the glove. Pass/fail results are based on the gloves meeting or not meeting the specified requirements.

  Material Performance Tested

  The standard EN 1149-5:2018 pertains to the performance of materials with regard to their electrostatic properties, specifically testing for the charge decay characteristics. The test result Tested signifies that the material has been evaluated according to the specified methods and met the defined criteria for electrostatic properties under this standard. To determine this result, a set of specific test methods is deployed to assess the decay of electrostatic charge from the surface of the material. The test involves subjecting the material to an electrostatic charge and then measuring the rate and manner in which this charge dissipates. This ensures that materials such as those used in protective clothing are safe for use in environments where electrostatic discharge could pose a hazard, such as in certain industrial or medical settings where flammable substances are present. For procurement professionals, understanding that a product has been tested and meets EN 1149-5:2018 standards is crucial as it ensures the product's safety and suitability in environments susceptible to electrostatic risks.

• EN 14126:2003

  EN 14126:2003 is a European standard that specifies the requirements and test methods for protective clothing designed to provide protection against infectious agents, such as viruses and bacteria.

• 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.
