Standards

EN352

EN352 : Exigences of safety and tests.

• EN352-1 : the ear-muff s.

• EN352-2 : the earplugs.

• EN352-3 : the adjustable head defenders for the safety helmets.

• EN352-4 : Noise cancelling headphones with level dependent attenuation.

• EN352-6 : Earmuff s with electrical audio input.

• EN352-8 : Audio enabled earmuff s. These standards establish requirements with regards to the manufacture, the design, performances and test methods.

They stipulate the putting at disposal relative to the characteristics.

EN50365 : Electrical insulation helmets for use in low voltage environment

Mandatory

Electrically insulating helmets for use near energised equipment not exceeding 1000 VAC or 1500 VDC (appliance class 0).
Used simultaneously with other electrically insulating protective equipment, these helmets prevent dangerous currents passing through to the person's head.
These optional electrical insulation tests are more stringent than the EN397 and they complement them. (2 triangle marking, Class 0).

EN14605: Type 4/ Type 3 PROTECTIVE CLOTHING AGAINST LIQUID CHEMICALS

Requirements for chemical protection clothing with liquid-tight (type 3) or spray-tight (type 4) connections, including items providing only partial body protection (types PB [3] and PB [4]).


This standard sets out the minimum requirements for the following types of limited use and reuseable chemical protective clothing:


- Clothing protecting the full body with liquid-tight connections between the various clothing parts (Type 3: liquid-tight clothing) ;
- Clothing protecting the full body with spray-tight connections between the various clothing parts (Type 4: spray-tight clothing) ;
Note: These standards were formerly entitled EN1512 (Type 4) and EN1511 (Type 3).

STANDARDS TYPE CHEMICAL PROTECTION
EN13034 6 Against splashes
EN ISO 13982-1 5 Against dust (asbestos)
EN14605 4 Against mists
EN14605 3 Against sprays

EN ISO 11612

PROTECTION AGAINST HEAT AND FLAME

Protection against heat and flame. This standard specifies the performance requirements of materials and protective clothing against heat and flames. They apply to clothing made of soft material, designed to protect the human body except the hands against heat and/ or flame.
Tested are:

Test Code Performances
Limited flame spread A A1 and/or A2
Convective heat B B1 to B3
Radiant heat C C1 to C4
Molten aluminium splash D D1 to D3
Molten metal splash E E1 to E3
Contact heat F F1 to F3
