Standards

EN 17353

IMPROVED VISIBILITY EQUIPMENT FOR MEDIUM RISK SITUATIONS

This standard specifies the requirements for enhanced visibility equipment in the form of a garment, or device, capable of visually signalling the presence of the user.

Enhanced Visibility Equipment is intended to provide visibility of the wearer in low or medium risk situations in all daylight conditions and/or under the illumination of vehicle headlights or headlights in the dark. This standard does not apply to high visibility equipment in high risk situations which are covered by EN ISO 20471.

EN1073-2 PROTECTIVE CLOTHING AGAINST RADIOACTIVE CONTAMINATION

This standard specifies the requirements and test methods for non ventilated protective clothing against radioactive contamination in the form of particles.

Clothing of this type is designed only to protect the body, the arms and the legs of the wearer, but it may be used with accessories that protect other parts of the wearer’s body (for example, boots, gloves, respiratory protective device - APR).

The garments are classified according to their nominal protection factor (ratio between the concentration of test particles in the ambient atmosphere and the concentration of test particles inside the garment), determined in relation to the total inward leakage (ratio between the concentrations of test particles insider the garment and inside the test chamber).

 

The classes are as follows:

CLASS NOMINAL PROTECTION FACTOR
3 500
2 50
1 5

 

EN ISO 11611

PROTECTION USED IN WELDING AND ALLIED PROCESSES

This standard specifies the performance requirements for protective clothing for use by operators in welding and allied processes with comparable risks. This type of protective clothing is intended to protect the wearer against molten metal splash, short contact with flame and UV radiation. It is intended to be worn at ambient temperature, continuously for up to 8 hours.

 

CLASS 1 protection against low risks during welding techniques and situations producing fewer projections and low radiant heat.
CLASS 2 protection against higher risks during welding techniques and situations producing more projections and a higher radiant heat.

HIGH VISIBILITY CLOTHING

This standard specifies the requirements for protective clothing aiming to signal the presence of the wearer visually, so that he may be detected and seen in hazardous situations, in all conditions of daylight, and night under illumination of car headlights.

There are three classes of high-visibility clothing. Each class must have minimum surfaces of visible material constituting the garment; the higher the class, the more visible the garment:

 

  Class 3 Class 2 Class 1
Background material (Fluorescent) 0,80 m² 0,50 m² 0,14 m²
Retroreflective material (Bands) 0,20 m² 0,13 m² 0,10 m²
