Various Standards EN ISO 11612 Protective clothing in accordance with EN ISO 11612 protects against short-term exposure to heat and flame. This standard is divided into different categories, where the code letter indicates which requirement is met by the article of clothing in question. Each category is also broken down into different levels, depending on the degree of protection offered. EN ISO 11611 Protective clothing in accordance with EN ISO 11611 protects against welding/spatter of melted metal and sparks as well as heat in the form of convection - or radiant heat. EN 1149-5 Protective clothing with anti-static properties. This clothing protects against sudden discharges of electrostatic energy where there is a risk that static sparks may ignite combustible or explosive atmospheres. The user must be correctly earthed, for example by wearing suitable footwear, and the clothing must be connected to the body. EN 13034-6 Protective clothing in accordance with EN 13034-6 protects against splashes from liquid chemicals and is intended for use in cases entailing sufficiently low risk assessment and when a complete protective barrier againstliquids is not necessary, i.e. when the user is in a position to react in due time when his or her clothing has become contaminated. Low risk may be potential exposure to small volumes of spray or occasional low-volume splashes. FprEN 61482-2 Protective clothing in accordance with FprEN 61482-1-2 protects against thermal hazards from an electric arc. This standard states that such clothing offers protection against electric arcs and is divided into 2 classes. 210 EN ISO 20471 EN ISO 20471 standard is divided into 3 classes. The class designation describes how well the product is able to make the user visible. The great- er the area of fluorescent material and reflection, the higher the classification. The fluorescent material offers greater visibility in daylight and twilight, while the reflective parts become visible when a vehicle’s light or a work light is directed at the wearer in the dark.
