Protective clothing for electrical workers with the EN 61482-1-2 rating is tested for how well materials and garments protect against the intense heat of an electric arc flash, classifying resistance at specific energy levels. This ensures the clothing reduces the risk of severe burns and injuries from electrical arc hazards, helping you choose the right level of protection.

Workwear and protective clothing with the EN 15797 rating are tested for their ability to withstand industrial washing and drying processes. This standard ensures the garments maintain their shape, color, and protective properties after repeated intense cleaning, offering consumers durable and long-lasting products.

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.

Test results

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.

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, 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.

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 61482-1-1 rating is tested for its resistance to the thermal hazards of an electric arc, measuring the maximum energy it can withstand before causing a second-degree burn or breaking open. This rating helps ensure the clothing provides a reliable level of protection against the intense heat of an arc flash, keeping you safer when working with electricity.

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.
