  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 343:2019

  EN 343 is a European standard for protective clothing against bad weather. It says clothes must be waterproof, breathable, and not let water in. It's used to protect workers in different industries like construction and transportation. Tests must show the clothing meets these standards.

  Breathability Class 3

  Breathability performance in the category of Class 3 under the standard EN 343:2019 reflects a high level (RET<20) of breathability for protective clothing. This category is designed to provide comfort and prolonged wearability in environments requiring good air permeability through the garment. Specifically, Class 3 is the highest class, indicating excellent breathability properties which are tested and certified to meet stringent regulations for vapor permeability and resistance. The practical implication of a Class 3 breathability result in EN 343:2019 is that the fabric offers superior breathability, making it suitable for use in garments worn in active work or in environments where higher air permeability is necessary to reduce the risk of heat stress and to maintain comfort during extended wear.

  Waterproofness Class 1

  EN 343:2019 standard resultWaterproofness Class 1 means the basic level of waterproof protection deemed compliant under this specification. This result means that the garment or product can resist water penetration to a minimal degree (more than 8000 Pascal Pressure units before pre-treatment), making it suitable for light exposure to rain or damp conditions but not under heavy or pressurized water exposure. The test method to determine this waterproofness involves subjecting the fabric or material to water penetration under controlled conditions, measuring the amount of water that passes through the material over time. This typically involves using a hydrostatic head test where water is pressured against the fabric, ensuring that the product maintains minimal water resistance according to the standards. It is suitable for environments with occasional or light contact with water, but not for prolonged or extreme conditions .

• EN ISO 9001:2015

  EN ISO 9001:2015 is a standard that sets out the requirements for a quality management system (QMS). It is a set of guidelines that organizations can follow to ensure that they meet customer requirements and enhance customer satisfaction. The standard is based on the plan-do-check-act model and focuses on continuous improvement. It covers the design, development, production, installation, and servicing of products. Organizations can get certified to this standard, which means that they have been independently audited and found to meet the requirements of the standard. The certification process includes regular audits to ensure that the organization continues to meet the standard's requirements.

• ISO 14001:2015

  ISO 14001:2015 is a standard that specifies requirements for an environmental management system (EMS). It includes requirements for how companies should design, implement, maintain and improve their EMS to ensure that they minimize negative impacts on the environment and comply with environmental regulations. Test results can include information on how well the EMS is functioning, how well it is being followed, and how effective it is in reducing environmental impacts. The standard also includes requirements for how the company should document and record their EMS performance and continuously improve it.

  Environmental Management Passed

  The standard ISO 14001:2015 pertains to environmental management systems (EMS). A passed test result under this standard indicates that an organization's EMS meets the stringent criteria set forth for managing environmental responsibilities systematically. This ensures sustainable development while considering environmental impacts. Specifically, ISO 14001:2015 includes requirements for a framework that an organization can follow rather than establishing environmental performance criteria. It encompasses various aspects such as compliance obligations, planning actions to address risks and opportunities, and continual improvement. The test primarily involves evaluating the effectiveness of the EMS in supporting a company to achieve its intended outcomes regarding its environmental performance. If a company has passed this evaluation, it reflects their commitment to environmental stewardship, potentially enhancing their marketability and aiding in compliance with statutory and regulatory 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.

• Oeko-Tex Standard 100

  Oeko-Tex Standard 100 is a product certification program for textiles, which is awarded by the Oeko-Tex Association. This program verifies that the textile products are free from harmful chemicals. To be able to use the Oeko-Tex Standard 100 label, a product must meet certain requirements set by the Oeko-Tex Association which include limits on the levels of harmful substances such as pesticides, heavy metals, and formaldehyde. The textile products are inspected and certified by Oeko-Tex, they can use the Oeko-Tex Standard 100 label on their packaging to show that they are free from harmful chemicals. This certification is for all types of textiles, from raw materials to finished products, and it is globally recognized.

• 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.
