INDUSTRIAL WORKWEARS STANDARDS
EN ISO 14116: Protection against limited flame spread
Protective clothing certified according to EN 342 gives the wearer protection
against cold environment. Requirements are set on thermal insulation and
air permeability. Resistance to water penetration is an optional requirement.
EN ISO 14116
EN 1149: Protective clothing - Electrostatic Properties
Protective clothing certified according to EN 1149-5 provides the wearer with
electrostatic dissipative clothing with reduced risk of sparking. The garment
should be used as part of total earthed system to avoid combustible discharges.
It does not apply to protection against mains voltages. EN 1149
EN 13034: Protective Clothing against Liquid Chemicals
Clothing offering protection against liquid chemicals, exposure to light spraying,
vapour or low pressure, low quantity spraying. Suitable for work in environments
where there may be a risk of chemical splashes but where a total chemical
barrier is not required. EN 13034
EN 11612: Protective Clothing against Heat and Flame INDUSTRIAL WORKWEARS
Protective clothing certified according to EN ISO 11612 gives the wearer
protection against brief contact with heat and flame. Heat can be convective,
radiant, molten material, or a combination thereof. Applicable to garments
where there is a need for clothing with limited flame spread properties. EN ISO 11612
NFPA 701: Standard Methods of Fire Tests for Flame Propagation of Textiles and Films
This test measures the flammability of a fabric when it is exposed to specific
sources of ignition. NFPA 701 (Small Scale) testing measures the ignition
resistance of a fabric after it is exposed to a flame for 12 seconds. The flame,
char length, and flaming residue are recorded. NFPA 701
ASTM D-6413: Standard Test Method for Flame Resistance of Textiles (Vertical Test)
The vertical flame test is commonly used to measure and observe the response
of materials to heat and flame under controlled conditions. ASTM D6413 is ASTM
used to determine flame resistance of fabrics used to protect against both D-6413
electric arc and flash fire hazards.
