Flame Retardent SYMBOL GUIDE EN ISO 11612:2008 EN ISO 11612 Protective clothing for workers exposed to heat and flames (not including Welders and Fire Fighters). The standard specifies the performance requirements for garments which protect the body from heat and flame EN ISO 11611:2007 EN ISO 11611 Protective clothing for use in welding and allied processes. The standard specifies 2 classes with specific performance requirements: Class 1 - lower level: less hazardous welding situations Class 2 - higher level: more hazardous welding situations EN 1149-5:2008 EN 1149 Protective clothing – electrostatic properties. Antistatic PPE are certified to EN 1149-5:2008 as this standard covers the performance requirements and refers to the choice of 2 different test methods (EN 1149-1 or EN 1149-3) IEC 61482-2:2009 IEC 61482 Protective clothing against the thermal hazards of an electric arc. This performance standard specifies requirements and test methods applicable to materials and garments used by electrical workers to protect against the thermal hazards of an electric arc. Requirements address to the relevant general properties of the textiles and the arc thermal resistance properties. The arc thermal performance can be tested against the (European) Box test (representing a constrained and directed arc), which is carried out at a current of either 4kA (class1) or 7kA (class 2). EN ISO 14116:2008 EN ISO 14116 The Protective performance for limited flame spread of materials, material assemblies and protective clothing to reduce the possibility of the clothing burning and constituting a hazard. Additional Clothing requirements are also specified. Index 1 = the flame does not spread, there are no flaming debris, no after glow, a hole may be formed Index 2 = the flame does not spread, there are no flaming debris, no after glow, no hole formation Index 3 = the flame does not spread, there are no flaming debris, no after glow, no hole formation, and the after flame time of each individual specimen is less than 2 seconds EN 471:2003 3:2 EN471 Class 3 EN 471 102 Specifies the requirements for high visibility clothing capable of visually signalling the user’s presence. The high visibility clothing is intended to provide conspicuity of the wearer in any light condition when viewed by operators of vehicles or other mechanized equipment during daylight conditions and under illumination of headlights in the dark. Performance requirements are colour and retroreflection as well as minimum areas and placement of the materials in protective clothing.
