HB PROTECTIVE WEAR Catalogue 2019

STANDARDS IEC 61482-2 IEC 61482-2:2009 (preceeding standards: EN 61482-1-2 and ENV 50354) Protective clothing against the thermal hazards of an electric arc This type of protective clothing is intended to protect the wearer against thermal effects of a defined electric fault arc according to the tested protection level e.g. protection class. The Standard defines general requirements and requires an electric arc flash test. The material and garments tests are carried out either according to IEC 61482-1-1 (determination of the ATPV value) or IEC 6148-1-2 (”Box-Text”; preceeding standard EN 61481-2). The tested protective clothing does not replace electrically insulating protective clothing such as clothing in accordance with EN 50286:1999, „Electrically insulating protective clothing for work on low-voltage installations“. Complete personal protection also requires suitable protective equip- ment such as safety helmet/visor, protective gloves etc. EN ISO 11611 (preceding standard: EN 470-1) Protective clothing for use in welding and related processes This type of protective clothing is intended to protect the wearer against weld spatter (small splashes of molten metal), short-term contact with fl ames as well as radiant heat from the electric arc. Under normal welding conditions, it offers limited electrical insulation against electric conductors of up to 100 V DC. This standard sets out two classes with specific performance requirements (class 1 is for lower requirements, class 2 for higher requirements). EN ISO 11612 (preceding standard: EN 531) Clothing to protect against heat and flame This international standard specifies the minimum requirements for clothing protecting against heat and/or flames. In a wide variety of fields of application, the wearer can also be exposed to convective, radiant or contact heat, as well as splashes of molten metal. Within the standard, letters A-F define the performance levels relating to the protective properties listed above. EN 1149-5 (Vorgängernorm: prEN 1149-5) Electrostatic properties - Material performance and design requirements This standard specifi es the requirements to be met by the materials used in and the design of electrostatically conductive protective clothing forming part of a fully earthed system to avoid ignitable discharge. The antistatic function is defined as minimising the risk of flammable discharge (explosion). The requirements may not be sufficient in a combustible atmosphere enriched with oxygen. Protective clothing certified by this standard is not considered protection against mains voltage. EN 50286 Electrical insulating protective clothing for work on low-voltage installations This standard defines the test methods and performance requirements for protective clothing for live working or for work near live cables up to 500 V AC or 750 V DC (e.g. low-voltage installations, low-voltage overhead lines). This protective clothing should prevent the passage of electrical current when the wearer comes into contact with live cables/elements. To pass the test, the material must prevent disruptive discharge or flashover in three test situations: 1. in dry conditions, 2. in damp conditions, 3. after simulation of rainfall. The material is also tested for breathability, tensile force and tear-out force, and behaviour with regard to limited flame spread. EN 61340 Protection of electronic devices from electrostatic phenomena Protective clothing with this standard is suitable for the manufacture of products, which are sensitive to discharges of 100V or more. Persons with ESD protective clothing are therefore protecting products during the manufacturing process from electrical discharges, which can happen with clothing that is not suitable for ESD, e.g. through friction or electrostatic induction (magnetic field, field effects) and/or material separations, and are therefore preventing damage to the component. EN 13034 Typ 6 Protective clothing against liquid chemicals - Performance requirements for chemical protective clothing off ering limited protective performance against liquid chemicals This standard specifies the minimum requirements to be met by protective clothing against chemicals offering limited protective effect, including reusable protective clothing. Protective clothing against chemicals offering limited protective effect is for use where there is a possibility of exposure to minor chemical spraying, liquid aerosols or low-pressure spattering. EN ISO 20471 (preceding standard: EN 471) Warning clothing - Test methods and requirements EN 20471 sets out the requirements to be met by protective clothing which visually highlights wearers. This is done to make them clearly visible in dan-gerous situations under all light conditions during the daytime and when vehicle headlights are shone at them in the darkness. This standard specifies performance requirements to be met by the protective clothing in terms of colour and retro-reflection, along with minimum surface dimensions and requirements to be met by materials used in the smallest possible garment size. EN 343 Protective clothing - Protection against rain Specifies requirements and test methods for materials and seams used in clothing to protect against precipitation (e.g. rain, snow- flakes), fog and ground humidity. Waterproofness and resistance to water vapour are the properties that must be tested and indicated on the label. The various classes for resistance to water vapour provide an indication for the recommended wearing time in different ambient temperatures. EN 13758-2 Solar UV protective properties; EN 13758 Part 1: Method of test for apparel fabrics; EN 13758 Part 2: Classification and marking of apparel The European standard 13758-1 defines the method for determination of permea-bility of ultraviolet solar radiation for textiles; EN 13758-2 sets out the classification and identification of the clothing. As solar radiation causes skin diseases, only covered surface areas are protected of type UV-A and UV-B radiation. EN 14058 Protective clothing - Garments for protection against cool environments This European standard specifies the requirements and test methods for wear behaviour of garments for protection against cool environments. Use of tested garments in environments with an air temperature of -5 °C and higher. Identification should include classification of overall heat transfer resistance. EN 342 Protective clothing – Ensembles and garments for protection against cold. This standard defines the test methods and performance requirements for protective clothing against cold of -5 °C or lower. It tests the thermal insulation and air permeability of the clothing. The test result states how long the wearer of the protective clothing can remain at certain temperatures when stationary or when performing tasks involving small or moderate amounts of movement. The classification is divided into five classes, where class 1 is the weakest performance and class 5 is the best performance.
