HB PROTECTIVE WEAR Catalogue 2019

HB PROTECTIVE WEAR EN 511 Gloves as protection in cold environments This standard defines the test methods and performance requirements for gloves used as protection in cold environments. It measures the insulation performance of the material in the event of contact with a cold object, resistance to the gradual permeation of cold, and thermal resistance in the event of direct contact with a cold object. The 3-digit code next to the standard pictogram indicates the performance levels, where 0 is the weakest and 4 is the best performance. The water resistance is defined with two performance levels: 0 = water permeation after 30 minutes, 1 = no water permeation after 30 minutes. EN 407 Gloves as protection against thermal risks Gloves tested in accordance with this standard provide protection against heat and/or flames. The standard provides six testing options: combustion behaviour, contact heat, convective heat, radiant heat, small splashes of molten metal and larger quantities of molten metal. The actual level of protection depends on which test is carried out during certification and which performance level is achieved, where 1 is the lowest and 4 is the highest. „X“ means not tested, „0“ means below the minimum requirement. EN 388 Gloves as protection against mechanical risks This standard defines the test methods and performance requirements for gloves used as protection against mechanical risks. It provides four testing options: abrasion resistance, cut resistance, tear propagation force and penetration force. The actual level of protection depends on which test is carried out during certification and which performance level is achieved, where 1 is the lowest and 4 (resp. 5) is the highest. „X“ means not tested, „0“ means below the minimum requirement. All products pictured in this catalogue are certified according to the product specified standards. Products with reflective stripes may help to improve visibility. If products have reflective stripes it does not automatically mean that they are certified according to EN ISO 20471, but only if the stripes are placed on a high-visibility fabric which has been tested according to EN ISO 20471 and if the EN ISO 20471 standard pictogram is shown on the product label. EN ISO 20345 Personal protective equipment – safety footwear This standard defines basic requirements and voluntary additional requirements for safety footwear for general purposes such as mechanical risks, slip resistance, thermal risks and ergonomic features. The letters SB and S1 to S5 indicate the requirements that have been met. EN 166 Personal eye protection This standard defines functional requirements for different types of personal eye protection equipment and includes basic requirements for all eye protection equipment such as the size of the minimum field of view, flammability, UV resistance or protection against dust, splashes of molten metal and electric arcs. This standard applies to all types of personal eye protection equipment for protection against a range of hazards encountered in industry or in laboratories. EN 171 Personal eye protection/infrared protective filter This standard defines protection levels and transmission requirements for infrared protective filters. The filters defined in this standard are not suitable for the (in)direct observation of electric arcs. EN 397 Industrial hard hats Industrial hard hats are primarily inten- ded to protect the wearer against falling objects and their consequences, such as brain injuries and skull fractures. This Euro- pean standard defines general requirements, test methods and test conditions as well as require- ments pertaining to the protective function (e.g. shock absorption and penetration resistance) of industrial hard hats. Performance levels for protective gloves against mechanical risks according to EN 388 Test Performance Level 1 2 3 4 5 Abrasion resistance (Number of cycles) 100 500 2000 8000 Cutting resistance (Factor) 1,2 2,5 5,0 10,0 20 Tear strength (in newton) 10 25 50 75 Cutting strength (in newton) 20 60 100 150 5 means the highest and 1 means the lowest performance level. X means “not tested”. 0 means “below the minimum requirements.
