EN 343 - Protective Clothing, Protection Against Rain EN 343 is the harmonised European standard that applies to garments worn in adverse weather conditions. It speci es the characteristics of protective clothing against the in uence of foul weather, wind and cool above -5°c. The standard provides for two performance parameters:

Y X

EN 342 Protective Clothing - Ensembles and Garments for Protection Against Cold

X = Waterproofness (3 levels) Y = Breathable properties (3 levels)

EN 342 - Protection Against Cold Environment Protective clothing certi ed to the European Standard EN342 gives the wearer protection against the cold environment. It speci es requirements and test methods for the performance of clothing ensembles (i.e. two piece suits or coveralls) for protection against the e ects of cold environments equal to or below -5°C. Thermal Insulation Garments are tested on a moving manikin along with either standardised underwear or underwear speci ed by the manufacturer. The unit of measurement is Icler and is stated in M². It measures the amount of energy per square meter required to maintain warmth – the higher the number the better the rating. Air Permeability Air Permeability measures the ease with which the air can pass through a material. It is a measure of how windproof the garment is and there are 3 classes – 1 to 3. The higher the class the better the result. Resistance toWater Penetration An optional test is resistance to water penetration (a hydrostatic head test), which has two performance level classi cations. Clothing that claims this must also be breathable and pass a test for the water vapour resistance of the complete material ensemble i.e. outer, insulation, lining. Clothing claiming to meet the requirements of EN 342:2017 must be marked with the pictogram detailed below. Alongside the pictogram it is necessary to display the performance recorded in the various EN 342 tests: A = Thermal Insulation, measured value B = Air Permeability Class (1 – 3 where 3 is best) C = Resistance to Water Penetration Class (optional) (1-2 where 2 is best) Please note this standard does not contain any speci c requirements for head, hand or foot protection, however, su cient protection must be worn along with a thermal base layer for this certi cation to apply. Garments are tested under the following performance parameters:

RIS

RIS-3279-TOM RIS-3279-TOM Issue 1 has replaced GO/RT 3279. Railway Industry Standard (RIS) sets out the minimum speci cation for high visibility warning clothing in the Rail Industry.

EN 510

EN 510 - Protective Clothing for use where there is a Risk Of Entanglement fromMoving Parts This standard speci es the properties of protective clothing that minimise the risk of its entanglement or drawing-in by moving parts when the wearer is working on or near hazardous moving machines or devices.

EN1150-VisibilityProtectiveClothingfornon-professionaluse This European standard speci es the optical performance requirements for high visibility clothing to be worn by adults and by juveniles, and designed for non-professional use.

EN1150

Oeko-Tex High Visibility fabrics tested to the Oeko Tex standard guaranteeing fabric does not contain any harmful substances detrimental to human health.

EN 13356 - Visibility Accessories for Non Professional Use This standard speci es the optical performance requirements for accessories which are to be worn, attached to or carried by people and designed for non-professional use. Visibility accessories complying with this standard are intended to signal the users presence visually when illuminated by vehicle headlight on dark roads.

ISO 13688 - Protective Clothing - General Requirements This international standard speci es general requirements and recommendations for ergonomics, ageing, sizing and marking of protective clothing, and for information supplied by the manufacturer.

EN 14058 - Protective Clothing- Garments For Protection Against Cool Environments This standard speci es requirements and test methods for the performance of single garments for protection against cooling of the body in cool environments. Cool environments are as a result of a combination of humidity and wind at temperatures of -5°C and above. At moderate low temperatures garments against local body cooling are not only used for outdoor activities but can be used for indoor activities. In these cases garments often do not need to be made of watertight or air impermeable materials. Therefore, these requirements are optional for this standard.
