PERMANENT ANTISTATICS:
Specifies material and construction requirements for electrostatic-dissipating garments used as part of a total grounding system to prevent discharges that can cause fires.
Resistance to the accumulation of electrostatic charges according to EN 1149-5: 2018: S> 0.2 or t50< 4s
- The person wearing electrostatic dissipative protective clothing must be properly grounded. The resistance
between the person and the ground must be less than 108Ω, eg through the use of suitable footwear. - Electrostatic-dissipative protective clothing should not be removed while in the presence of flammable or flammable atmospheres.

ELECTRIC ARC:
This regulation specifies the performance of the garments designed to protect the whole body against the thermal risks of an electric arc due to an accidental and unexpected short circuit in power plants.

REPELLENCE AND PENETRATION OF LIQUIDS:
Repellency and penetration of liquids: EN 13034: 2005 + A1: 2009. It defines the performance and minimum safety requirements of the garments studied to guarantee limited protection against liquid chemical agents.
In the event of accidental splashing, during use, of chemicals or flammable liquids on clothing covered by this International Standard, the user must carefully remove the clothing, ensuring that the chemical or liquid does not come into contact with any part. of the skin. The clothing will then be cleaned or removed from service. The partial body protections of type PB [6] have not been subjected to the full suit test.

WELDING AND RELATED PROCESSES:
EN ISO 11611: 2015 Protective clothing used during welding and related processes.
Establishes minimum safety requirements and test methods for protective clothing (including hoods, aprons, sleeves, and gaiters; hand protection not included) designed to protect the wearer’s body, including the head and feet, and that it must be worn during welding and related processes with comparable risks.
Protective clothing used during welding and related processes according to EN ISO 11611: 2015:
• See Guide to prevention of risks in welding work.
• Garment protects against flames, molten metal splashes, contact heat, convective heat, radiant heat and electrical contact
short-term accidental.
• Additional partial body protection may be necessary, eg for indoor welding.
• The garment is only intended to protect against brief unintentional contact with charged parts of an arc welding circuit and by
Therefore, additional layers of electrical insulation will be required when there is an increased risk of electrical shock.
• Aprons should cover the front of the wearer’s body at least from seam to side seam.
• When additional partial protective garments are used, the basic garment must be at least Class 1.
N ORMA UNE-EN 17353: 2020 – PROTECTIVE CLOTHING – IMPROVED VISIBILITY EQUIPMENT FOR MEDIUM RISK SITUATIONS
It includes the requirements and test methods for the design of garments and accessories intended for situations of medium risk due to low visibility, and which provide some visibility to the users who wear them.
It is the Standard that completes the regulation of protective clothing for low visibility risk situations. Until now, there was only the EN ISO 20471: 2013 Standard that regulated clothing for HIGH RISK situations, that is, where the user passive (worker on foot located in a zone where vehicles are at risk of being run over during the day or night) is on a road with vehicles traveling with a speed from less than 30 km / h (Class 1) to more than 60 km / h (Class3).
This new Standard UNE-EN 17353: 2020 regulates clothing and accessories that improve visibility in MEDIUM RISK situations, where the user passive (on foot) is on a road where vehicles circulate at less than 15 km / h, or that the user active (person who is on the road, who is part of the circulation and who keeps his attention focused on the traffic, that is, he is driving some type of vehicle) is on a road with vehicles that circulate at a speed equal to or less than 60 km / h.
This Standard distinguishes between clothing and accessories for use in various situations:
– at night (Class B, reflective elements), which is subdivided into three categories: the B1 for hanging accessories of reflective material; the B2 for armbands and garments with reflective material only on the sleeves; and the B3 for garments with reflective material only on the torso, or on the torso + extremities (sleeves and legs)
Type A Daylight |
Type B Dark conditions |
Type AB Daylight, twilight and dark conditions |
Equipment using fluorescent material | Equipment using retroreflective material | Equipment using fluorescent material and retroreflective material or combined perfomance material |
B1 (free hanging) | ||
B2 (limbs) | AB2 | |
B3 (on torso or torso and limbs) | AB3 |
The reflectance and fluorescence requirements of reflective elements and fluorescent fabrics are the same as in EN ISO 20471. Protective equipment certified under this Standard falls within Category III of PPE classification according to EU Regulation 2016/425.
