Protection types
Standards
EN 1149-5
Antistatic
is a European standard that specifies the requirements for electrostatic dissipative protective clothing. The standard ensures that the garments minimize the risks associated with static electricity, such as fire discharges or damage to sensitive electronic components.
EN 14126
Biobarrier
is a European standard that specifies requirements and test methods for protective clothing against infectious agents. The standard ensures that the clothing provides an effective barrier against biological hazards such as bacteria, viruses and contaminated liquids.
EN 1073-2
Against radioactive contamination
is a European standard for protective clothing against contamination with radioactive particles. The standard evaluates the effectiveness of clothing in reducing the penetration of radioactive particles into the air. Protective clothing according to EN 1073-2 does not provide... protection against ionizing radiation.
Cat. III
Category III
protects against serious risks that can cause severe or irreversible damage and includes respiratory protective equipment, chemical protective clothing, fall protection and certain protective gloves.
Protection types
Standard types
Typ 6
Light spray mist
is a European standard for protective clothing with limited protection against liquid chemicals. The standard evaluates performance criteria such as liquid repellency, penetration resistance and seam strength to ensure safety in environments with occasional contact or light splashes of chemicals.
Typ 5
Solid particles
is an international standard for protective clothing against airborne solid particles. The standard evaluates the performance of clothing, including resistance to the penetration of airborne particles, seam strength and design aspects, to ensure safety in environments with harmful particles.
Typ 4
Spray-tight
is a European standard for spray-tight chemical protective clothing. The standard ensures that the garments offer protection against light splashes and splashes of liquid chemicals, whereby criteria such as seam strength and resistance to penetration by liquids are assessed.
Typ 3
Liquid-tight
is a European standard for liquid-tight chemical protective clothing. The standard ensures that the clothing offers protection against strong and directed jets of liquid chemicals, whereby criteria such as seam strength and resistance to penetration by liquids are assessed.
Typ 2
Protection against liquids, spray and dust
is a European standard for non-gas-tight chemical protective clothing. The standard evaluates performance criteria such as permeation resistance, seam strength and design aspects that ensure protection against liquid and gaseous chemicals in situations where gas-tight protection is not required.
Typ 1
Gas-tight
is a European standard for gas-tight chemical protective clothing for emergency services. The standard evaluates performance criteria such as gas tightness, seam strength and permeation resistance to ensure the safety of emergency personnel.
