• EN 17353:2020

  Clothing and accessories like reflective vests or armbands with the EN 17353:2020 rating are tested for their visibility features, including color and retroreflection, to signal your presence. This helps you to be more easily seen by others in medium-risk environments, like walking or cycling near traffic, day or night, enhancing your safety.

• EN IEC 61482-1-2:2018

  Protective clothing with the EN IEC 61482-1-2:2018 rating is tested for its resistance to the thermal effects of an electric arc flash using a "box test" method. This ensures the garment provides a certified level of protection, significantly reducing the risk of burn injuries from unexpected electrical incidents.

  Low-voltage Circuit Arc APC 1

  This garment protects you from the thermal hazards of a sudden electric arc flash. It is rated Arc Protection Class 1 (APC 1), tested to shield against a 4kA short circuit electric arc.

• EN IEC 61482-1-1:2019

  Protective clothing with the EN IEC 61482-1-1:2019 rating is tested for its ability to protect against the thermal hazards of an electric arc by determining its arc rating (ELIM, ATPV, or EBT). This ensures the clothing significantly reduces the risk of burn injury from an electrical arc flash, with the ELIM rating indicating a 0% burn probability for enhanced safety.

• EN 1149-5:2008

  Protective clothing with the EN 1149-5:2008 rating is tested for its ability to safely dissipate electrostatic charges and prevent sparks. This protects wearers in environments where flammable gases, liquids, or dust could create an explosive atmosphere. It reduces the risk of accidental fires or explosions from static discharge.

  Material Performance Tested

  This garment's material is tested to reduce static electricity buildup. It helps prevent sparks that could cause a fire or explosion in certain work environments, keeping you safer around flammable materials or sensitive electronics.

• EN 13034:2005

  Protective clothing, such as coveralls and aprons, with the EN 13034:2005 rating are tested for limited protection against light spray, liquid aerosols, or low-volume splashes of liquid chemicals. This means the clothing provides a barrier against minor chemical exposure, allowing you time to safely remove it before chemicals penetrate.

  Test results

  Liquid Chemical Protection Type 6

  Provides protection against light sprays, liquid aerosols, and low-pressure, low-volume splashes of liquid chemicals. It is intended for use in low-risk situations where a full chemical barrier is not required, such as industrial cleaning or maintenance.

• EN 11611:2015

  Protective clothing with the EN 11611:2015 rating is tested for protection against molten metal splashes, limited flame spread, radiant heat from welding, and reduced electrical shock risk. This ensures professionals in welding and allied processes are protected from common hazards, helping to minimize injuries.

  Test results

  Welding Protection Class 2

  This garment offers a high level of protection for more hazardous welding jobs. It is designed for manual welding techniques with significant spatter and droplet formation, providing superior defense against molten metal splashes and radiant heat from the arc.

• EN 11612:2015

  Protective clothing, including garments, gaiters, hoods, and overboots, with the EN 11612:2015 rating are tested for protection against various heat and flame hazards like limited flame spread, convective heat, radiant heat, and splashes from molten metals. This ensures the clothing meets minimum safety standards for specific thermal risks, helping you choose gear that provides essential protection in hazardous environments.

• 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.
