Features and hints

EN 149 - Respiratory protective devices - Filtering half masks for protection against particles

EN 343:2019 - Protective clothing - protection against rain

EN 369 - Protective clothing - Protection against liquid chemicals - Test method: Resistance of materials to permeation by liquids

EN 374 - Protective gloves against hazardous chemicals and micro-organisms.

This standard consists of several parts.

EN 374-1 The standard EN ISO 374-1 specifies requirements for protective gloves against hazardous chemicals. It applies in conjunction with the basic standard DIN EN 420 (general requirements). A distinction is made between a total of three performance types:

Type classes

Type A: Protective glove has a permeation resistance of at least 30 minutes each for at least 6 test chemicals.
Type B: Protective glove has a permeation resistance of at least 30 minutes each with at least 3 test chemicals.
Type C: Protective glove has a permeation resistance of at least 10 minutes with at least 1 test chemical.

EN 374-2 Protective gloves against hazardous chemicals and micro-organisms

Determination of resistance to penetration

EN 374-3 Protective gloves against chemicals and micro-organisms

Determination of resistance of materials to permeation by chemicals

EN 374-4 Protective gloves against chemicals and micro-organisms

Determination of resistance to degradation by chemicals.

EN 374-5 Protective gloves against hazardous chemicals and micro-organisms

The standard describes the terminology and performance requirements for risks due to microorganisms. Two types are distinguished:

- Protective gloves against bacteria and fungi
- Protective gloves against bacteria, fungi and viruses

The standard is clearly marked on the glove by the pictogram "Protection against microorganisms". For protection against viruses, the lettering "VIRUS" is placed below the pictogram. Here the tightness against penetration by the bacteriophage Phi-X174 has been tested.

EN 381 - Protective clothing for users of hand-held chainsaws

Part 1: Test rig for testing resistance to chainsaw cuts
Part 2: Test method for leg guards
Part 3: Test method for footwear
Part 4: Test method for chain saw protective gloves
Part 5: Requirements for leg guards

Type A: Is a frontal guard covering each leg partially (180°) and extra 5 cm to the inner part of the right leg and 5 cm of the outer part of the right leg.

Type B: Identical to type, but with 5 cm extra protection on the inside of the left leg.

Type C: Covers each leg all around. The protection starts at the hem of the trouser leg and ends 20 cm above the crotch and behind at least 50 cm below the waistband.

Part 7: Requirements for protective gloves for chainsaws

Part 8: Test methods for chain saw protective gaiters

Part 9: Requirements for chain saw protective gaiters

Part 10: Test methods for upper body protectors

Part 11: Requirements for upper body protectors

For both the front and back of the jacket, the standard defines a minimum area of protective insert on the shoulders, sleeves and chest. On the front of the sleeves, the protective insert must cover at least 80% of the total surface area and the unprotected surface area of the sleeves must not exceed 70 mm (measured from the sleeve hem).

EN 388:2016 + [a.b.c.d.e.f] - Protective gloves against mechanical risks

There are significant differences in the test procedure and the resulting results between the two variants of cut protection (straight or round blade). As the results between the two methods are very different, the test values must also be considered independently of each other.

The test procedure with round blades is better suited to assessing protection when working with light, sharp objects, while the test with straight blades provides better assessments for work with different force effects or impact risks.

EN 407:2004 + [a.b.c.d.e.f] - Protection against thermal hazards

This standard tests the protection of gloves against thermal hazards. These include contact heat, radiant heat and splashes. The following criteria are included in the test:

Higher values indicate a better test result. The value "X" indicates that the glove has not been tested according to this criteria. With a value <3, such a glove must not come into contact with open fire.

EN 420 - Basic standard for protective gloves

Within this standard, the general requirements for protective gloves are specified. These requirements include design principles, fabrication, material resistance to water penetration, protection, comfort, performance, manufacturer's labelling and information to be provided by the manufacturer.

EN 421 - Protective gloves against ionising radiation and radioactive contamination

European Standard EN 421 specifies the requirements and test methods of protective gloves against ionising radiation and radioactive contamination.

Requirements of the EN 421 standard

• liquid tightness and passing the penetration test according to EN ISO 374
• Passing the air pressure tightness test and must offer a high resistance to the penetration of water vapour
• For protection against ionising radiation, EN 421 gloves must contain a certain percentage of lead or an equivalent metal

EN 455 - Medical gloves for single use

In order for disposable gloves to be approved for use in the medical field, they must comply with the requirements of EN 455 as defined in Directive 93/42/EEC. This standard is divided into four parts:

455-1 - Tightness

The first part (EN 455-1) deals with whether a disposable glove is leak-proof. For this purpose, 1000 ml of water at a temperature of 15 to 35 degrees Celsius is randomly poured into the disposable glove for two to three minutes. This water permeability test is carried out twice. First, immediately after filling with water, it is checked whether water escapes from the glove. After 2 to 3 minutes, another check is made to see if the disposable glove is still leak-proof. In this way, the entire glove is checked down to the last 4 cm at the cuff edge.

A leak at the edge of the cuff is not very problematic, as usually only the palms or fingers come into contact with possibly contaminated surfaces and objects. The accepted quality level for medical gloves must be at least 1.5 (AQL 1.5). This quality level is also tested using an appropriate sample.

455-2: Physical properties

The second part of the standard (EN 455-2) tests the physical characteristics of the glove. These include the dimensions and the tear resistance of the disposable glove. For a disposable glove to officially comply with European Standard 455, at least 13 gloves must be sampled from each batch manufactured.

455-3: Biological evaluation - powders, chemicals, endotoxins

The tests relating to the third part of European Standard 455 (EN 455-3) provide information on whether and to what extent endotoxins, powders, chemicals and leachable proteins may be present in the glove.

This third part of EN 455 specifies limit values for chemicals, endotoxins, etc. that must not be exceeded if a glove is to comply with this standard and thus be approved for medical use.

In addition, EN 455-3 also describes the corresponding test methods that a manufacturer or the responsible tester should use to test the protein, chemical and endotoxin content of a glove.

Since a glove can no longer be sold after these tests, not every single glove is tested, but random samples.

455-4: Shelf life

The fourth part of EN455 (EN 455-4) deals with the shelf life of disposable gloves. This is usually five years after the date of production.

In order to be able to give a realistic shelf life shortly after production, an accelerated determination of the shelf life is first carried out after production. For this purpose, ageing of the glove is simulated in a special oven. Afterwards, the disposable glove has very similar, if not the same characteristics as the glove would have after three years. After this accelerated ageing, the disposable glove is tested again for tightness (EN455-1) and tear resistance (EN455-2). In addition, it is tested whether the disposable glove is still suitable for the intended use. If the glove passes these three tests, it can provisionally be said that the glove is durable for three years.

Whether a disposable glove is ultimately durable for 5 years is checked again after the time has expired with gloves that are actually five years old. Again, the tests of EN 455-1 and EN 455-2 are applied, as well as the verification of suitability for their intended use.

In the case of sterile disposable gloves, it is also checked whether the sterile packaging is still intact after five years. The shelf life must be clearly visible on the smallest packaging unit, i.e. on the glove box. It is important that the information about the shelf life is still legible after the five years. Furthermore, it is necessary to provide information on the correct storage on the glove boxes. This is usually done with the help of simple pictorial representations (pictograms).

EN 511:2006 - Protective gloves against cold

The criteria below indicate how well a glove protects your hands when working in cold environments:

► Convective cold: 0 to 4
► Contact cold: 0 to 4
► Waterproofness: 0 to 1

Higher values indicate a better test result. The value "X" indicates that the glove was not tested according to this criterion.

EN 531 - Protective clothing - Clothing for protection against heat and flame.

For short contact with flames and at least one type of heat, clothing tested according to this European standard is suitable. A distinction is made between the following types of heat:

Limited flame spread: A
Protection against convection heat: B1 - B5
Protection against radiant heat: C1 - C4
Protection against liquid iron: E1 = 60g - 120g
Protection against liquid iron: E2 = 121g - 200g
Protection against liquid iron: E3 >= 201g
In the meantime, EN 531 has been replaced by EN ISO 11612.

EN 1073 - Protective clothing against radioactive contamination

Part 1: Requirements and test methods for ventilated protective clothing against radioactive contamination by solid particles

Part 2: Requirements and test methods for non-ventilated protective clothing against radioactive contamination by solid particles.

Three performance classifications are distinguished with a target protection factor against the penetration of aerosols of small particles (0.6 micrometres):

Class 1 = target protection factor 5
Class 2 = target protection factor 50
Class 3 = target protection factor 500

EN 1149 - Protective clothing - Electrostatic properties

Describes the requirements for electrically conductive clothing. This clothing is earthed, for example by combining it with conductive footwear, to reduce the formation of sparks and therefore the risk of explosion. This standard is further subdivided into:

EN 1149-1 Part 1: Test method for measuring surface resistance.

EN 1149-2 Part 2: Test method for measuring the electrical resistance through a material (contact resistance)

EN 1149-3 Part 3: Test method for the measurement of charge decay

EN 1149-5 Part 5: Performance requirements for material and design requirements

EN 12477 - Protective gloves for welders

The EN 12477 standard defines protective gloves for hand welding, cutting and allied metalworking. They comply with the basic standard EN 420, but have a significantly longer forearm guard to protect against welding beads. The standard distinguishes gloves into two types.

Type A: These gloves meet higher requirements and are recommended for heavy welding processes.

Type B: These gloves offer greater freedom of movement and are preferred for TIG welding.

Welding gloves must be clearly marked as type A or B.

EN 12941 - Respiratory protective devices - Powered filtering devices with a helmet or a bonnet

Defines the minimum requirements for respiratory protection systems in combination with a helmet or bonnet. There are three degrees of protection depending on the leakage to the inside (leakage). The maximum permissible internal leakage is:

Degree of protection TH1: <15%
Degree of protection TH2: <2
Degree of protection TH3: <0.2%

EN 13034 - Protective clothing against liquid chemicals

Specifies the requirements for liquid-tight or limited-use chemical protective clothing. This clothing protects against light splashes and aerosols (e.g. from sprays) of chemicals whose effect is classified as low risk. In the event of contamination of the protective clothing, this gives the wearer sufficient time to take appropriate protective measures. The protection of this clothing is therefore limited (Type 6 and Type PB equipment [6]).

EN 13758 - Textiles - Protective properties against ultraviolet solar radiation

The European standard EN 13758-2 specifies the requirements for the labelling of garments intended to protect the wearer against exposure to ultraviolet solar radiation. Garments standardised according to EN 13758-2 protect the wearer against UVA and UVB radiation from sunlight. Under certain conditions, the protective effect of the clothing can also be lost. For example, if the clothing is wet or worn. Therefore, the clothing should be cared for and treated according to the instructions on the inside.

The UV protection factor UPF (UPF = Ultra Violet Protection Factor) of a textile is determined. The EN 13758 standard uses the sun spectrum of Albuquerque (USA), which corresponds approximately to the sun radiation in southern Europe.

EN 14058 - Protective clothing - Garments for protection against cool environments

This European standard specifies the requirements and test methods for the performance characteristics of garments designed to protect the body against cool environments. Use of the tested garments in environment of air temperature which is -5°C and higher. The labelling must indicate the thermal resistance classification.

Performance level

a Thermal resistance (RcT value)
b Air permeability (optional)
c Water tightness (optional)
d Thermal insulation by means of moving/static manikin (optional)

Thermal resistance

The RcT value is determined over all layers of the garment together. A distinction is made between 3 classes:

Air permeability (optional)

Optionally, the clothing can be tested for air permeability. A distinction is made here between 3 classes, whereby the suitability of the product for certain wind speeds is measured. Class 3 offers the highest wind protection.

Waterproofness (optional)

Also optional is a waterproofness test according to EN 14058. This time, a distinction is made between two classes, with class 2 offering the highest protection.

EN 14126 - Protective clothing - Performance requirements and test methods for protective clothing against infectious agents.

When dealing with biological agents, this European standard tests the protective capability of the material against biologically contaminated liquids (by bacteria). The material of the protective clothing is exposed to the liquid containing bacteria and tested to see whether bacteria have penetrated the material.

The standard is divided into the following parts

1. Requirements for the material
1.1 General
1.2 Mechanical requirements and flammability requirements
1.3 Chemical requirements
1.4 Performance requirements for resistance to penetration by infectious agents
2. Performance requirements for seams, joints and laminations
3. Performance requirements for the entire suit

Types of protective clothing according to EN 14126:

EN 14325:2018-08 - Protective clothing against chemicals - Test methods and performance classification for materials, seams, joints and trusses

This standard is a so-called reference standard to which other standards dealing with the performance of chemical protective clothing may refer in whole or in part. It specifies the scope of performance and test methods for materials used in chemical protective clothing.

EN 14325 therefore contains classification tables for all physical performance characteristics required by the various standards:

- Abrasion resistance
- Flexural rupture resistance
- Trapezoidal tear propagation resistance
- Bursting resistance
- Tensile strength
- Puncture resistance
- Resistance to permeation of chemicals
- Resistance to penetration and repulsion
- Seam strength

This also includes gloves and footwear as they may form an integral part of the protective clothing.

EN 14605:2005 + A1:2009 - Protective clothing against liquid chemicals

The EB 14605 standard defines the performance requirements for chemical protective suits with liquid-tight (type 3) or spray-tight (type 4) connections between the parts of the garment, including garments that provide protection for parts of the body only (types PB [3] and PB [4]).

Types 3 and 4 refer to garments that protect at least the torso, arms and legs (suits or overalls). Types PB3 and PB 4 (Partial Body Protection) are used, for example, for arm warmers or aprons that only cover part of the body.

EN 14683:2019-10 Medical face masks - Requirements and test method

This standard applies only to masks used in medical work environments. It does not apply to masks intended for personal protection in everyday life. It describes the construction and design as well as performance requirements and test methods.

DIN EN 14683 distinguishes between two categories:

Type I: low protection against ingections and pathogens, good protection for larger droplets.
Type II(R): higher bacterial filter efficiency and, in the case of Type IIR, with additional splash resistance.

EN 16350 - Protective gloves - Electrostatic properties

This standard establishes additional requirements for protective gloves worn in explosive environments. It specifies a test method and requirements for performance, marking and information on electrostatic dissipative protective gloves to minimise the risk of explosion. This standard serves as the basis for placing chemical protective suits on the market under Directive 89/686/EEC for personal protective equipment. It is intended to establish a uniform level of safety. Possible users of this standard are testing institutes, certification bodies and manufacturers.

Minimum requirements according to EN 16350:

• The contact resistance must be less than 100 megohms (Rv < 1.0 x 108 Ω).
• The contact resistance Rv is tested according to EN 1149-2.
• The test atmosphere for determining the contact resistance must consist of an air temperature of 23 ± 1 °C and a relative humidity of 25 ± 5 %.
• Five samples are measured and each individual measured value must comply with the limit value

EN 17353 - Protective clothing - equipment for increased visibility for medium risk situations

Clothing with DIN EN 17353 certification provides the wearer with increased visibility. It is thus similar to the EN ISO 20471 standard for high-visibility protection, but with the crucial difference that it is only intended for use in medium-risk situations. It replaces the EN 1150 and EN 13356 standards.

Within the standard, a distinction is made between two types: Type A is intended exclusively for use in daylight and Type B exclusively for use in darkness and twilight. Type B is further subdivided into 3 types (B1-B3). This distinguishes whether the movement or the silhouette is made visible.

Both types are also possible as a combination type AB. The effect is nevertheless lower here than with EN ISO 20471.

Subdivision type B

EN 61482 - Live working - Protective clothing against the thermal hazards of an electric arc

This standard tests materials and garments of heat-resistant and flame-retardant protective clothing where there is a risk of an electric arc occurring. Unlike DIN EN 61482-1-2, a low-voltage circuit is used for this purpose.

When testing with a directed arc, the hole formation and the melting through are measured in addition to the after-burning time. The results must be below the Stoll curve, which indicates the point at which second-degree burns can occur.

EN ISO 374 - Protective gloves against hazardous chemicals and micro-organisms

The standard (EN) 374 defines the requirements that a glove must meet to be considered a chemical protective glove. This is divided into 5 parts.

Part 1: Terminology and performance requirements for chemical risks (ISO 374-1:2016)

The standard DIN EN ISO 374-1 specifies requirements for protective gloves against hazardous chemicals. It applies in conjunction with the basic standard DIN EN 420 (general requirements). A total of three performance types are distinguished:

Type A: at least performance level 2 against at least six test chemicals from the list of 18 chemicals.
Type B: at least performance level 2 against at least three test chemicals from the list of 18 chemicals.
Type C: at least performance level 1 against at least one test chemical from the list of 18 chemicals.

They are clearly marked on the glove by the Erlenmeyer pictogram in combination with the type designation. Under the Erlenmeyer pictogram, code letters indicate the chemicals against which the glove has been tested.

In addition, 2016 (EN ISO 374-1:2016: Protective gloves against hazardous chemicals and micro-organisms - Part 1: Terminology and performance requirements for chemical risks) has been published. In the process, the identifiers were extended from the letters M - T:

Part 2: Determination of resistance to penetration

The second part of the standard (EN 374-2) provides information on the glove's resistance to chemical penetration. For this purpose, the glove is subjected to a leakage test. This includes a water leakage test and/or an air leakage test. This involves filling the glove with air or water to check whether any of the fillers are leaking. Before the innovations of the European Standard 374, this water or air leakage was marked with the beaker pictogram.

Part 3: Determination of resistance to permeation by chemicals.

Since 2016, EN 374-3 refers to EN 16523-1. The test method described in this standard is used to test how long a chemical protective glove can withstand at least three different test chemicals.

Teil 4: Determination of resistance to degradation by chemicals

This part of the standard has existed since 2014 and deals with the question of the extent to which the mechanical-physical material properties change in contact with the test chemicals (degradation).

In this measurement procedure, a glove is exposed to one hour of continuous contact with one of the 18 liquid test chemicals. The extent to which the puncture resistance has changed is then tested. Such a result is primarily relevant for those users who wish to fully exploit such breakthrough times or wear the gloves repeatedly.

Part 5: Terminology and performance requirements for microbial risks

There are two types of protective gloves against microorganisms:

1. protective gloves against bacteria and fungi
2. protective gloves against bacteria, fungi and viruses

They are clearly marked on the glove by the pictogram "Protection against microorganisms". In the case of protection against viruses, the lettering "VIRUS" is affixed below the pictogram. Here the tightness against penetration by the bacteriophage Phi-X174 has been tested.

EN ISO 11393 - Protective clothing for users of hand-held chain saws.

The standard EN ISO 11393 (replaces EN 381) deals with protective clothing for hand-held chainsaws. It is divided into different parts (or versions) depending on the part of the body.

EN ISO 11393-2 - Leg protection This part specifies the requirements for leg protection and defines three types (or designs) of leg protective clothing, depending on the type of protection: 

Type A (frontal protection): partially covers each leg (180°) and extra 5 cm to the inner part of the right leg and 5 cm of the outer part of the left leg. The protective insert starts at max. 5 cm from the bottom hem of the trouser leg and ends 20 cm above the crotch.

Type B: describes the protection provided by cut protection inserts.

Type C: here each leg is protected all around (360°) with protective inserts. The protection starts at max. 5 cm bottom hem of the trouser leg and ends at min. 20 cm above the crotch at the front, and at min. 50 cm below the waistband at the back.

EN ISO 11393-4 - Protective gloves

This standard distinguishes between two designs:

1. back of the hand (finger glove): at least 110 mm wide and at least 120 mm high.
2. back of the hand + 4 fingers (mitten): at least 110 mm wide and at least 190 mm high

EN ISO 11393-5 - Protective gaiters

Protective gaiters are used to bridge the gap between the steel toe cap of the safety shoe and the surface of the chainsaw guard on legs. These are divided into 4 classes based on the chain speed.

EN ISO 11393-6 - Upper body protection

Here too, a distinction is made between 2 design types.

Type 1: On the front of the sleeves, the protective insert must cover at least 80% of the total surface area and the unprotected surface area of the sleeves must not exceed 70 mm (measured from the hem of the sleeve).
Type 2: This type corresponds to type 1, but has an additional abdominal protection.

The four previously mentioned classes also apply here.

EN ISO 11611 - Protective clothing for welding and allied processe

In welding and allied processes, EN ISO 11611 clothing protects against small splashes of liquid metal, brief contact with flames, radiant heat from electric arcs and welding beads, and limited electrical charges.

A basic distinction is made between two classes:

Class 1: provides resistance to metal splashes up to a 40 K temperature rise on the back of the specimen: 15 to 24 drops and heat transfer index RHTI >/= 7s.
Class 2: provides resistance to metal splashes up to a temperature rise of 40 K on the reverse side of the sample: >/= 25 drops and heat transmission index >/= 16s.

The additional letter A in the pictogram provides information on the flammability of materials and seams according to EN ISO 15025.

A1: surface scorching 10 seconds
A2: edge scorching 10 seconds

EN ISO 11612 - Protective clothing - Clothing for protection against heat and flame

For short contact with flames and at least one type of heat, clothing tested according to this European standard is suitable. Protection against heat is differentiated between the following types of heat:

EN ISO 13688 - Protective clothing - General requirements

The EN ISO 13688 standard specifies general performance requirements for ergonomics, safety, size designation, ageing, compatibility and labelling of protective clothing, as well as the information to be provided by the manufacturer with the protective clothing. It is always used in combination with other standards and does not qualify as protection on its own.

EN ISO 13982 - Protection against solid particles (particle-tight)

Part 1: Performance requirements for chemical protective clothing providing protection to the whole body against airborne solid particles.

Part 2: Test method for the determination of inward leakage of small particle aerosols through protective suits (ISO 13982-2:2004)

EN ISO 14116 - Protection against flames

Materials, material combinations and clothing with limited flame spread.

Index 1: Protection against flame spread, burning dripping, afterglow.
Index 2: protection against flame spread, burning droplets, afterglow, hole formation
Index 3: protection against flame spread, burning dripping, afterglow, hole formation, afterburning

EN ISO 20344 - Personal protective equipment - Test methods for footwear

EN ISO 20345 - Personal protective equipment - Safety shoes

If there is a risk of injuring the feet at work, shoes according to this standard should be worn. In addition to the fixed requirements for the shoe material and the toe cap, the shoes are divided into five categories:

- S1 antistatic, shock-absorbing sole (200 Joule), closed heel area.
- S2 like S1 with water-repellent upper
- S3 like S2 with anti-puncture midsole
- S4 as S1 with water-repellent upper made of polymer material
- S5 like S4 with steel midsole
- (SB Regular shoe with protective cap)

Optional additional specifications
- A: Antistatic
- E: Energy absorbing heel area
- FO: Hydrocarbon resistant footwear

- CI: Cold-resistant sole
- HI: Heat resistant sole
- WR: Waterproof shoe
- WRU: Waterproof upper material
- M: Comprehensive protection of the midfoot
- CR: Cut resistant upper
- SRA: Slip resistant with water and cleaning agents on ceramics
- SRB: Slip resistant to glycerine on steel
- SRC: SRA and SRB are fulfilled

EN ISO 20471 - High-visibility clothing

For situations in which there is a high risk of being overlooked in road traffic or in the vicinity of traffic, clothing according to this standard ensures better visibility. Compared to EN 471, better all-round visibility has been ensured in that the reflective material must be applied around the torso and arms. Thanks to this design requirement, wearers of this clothing are also better recognisable as people at night.

Classification is from 1 to 3, with class 3 representing the best visibility and is therefore also suitable for fast moving traffic.

Please note that the classification is partly linked to the condition that the rest of the clothing also achieves a minimum visibility according to EN 20471.

Minimum area of visible material in sqm.

NOTE: The class of clothing is based on the smallest area of visible material.

EN ISO 21420 - Protective gloves - General requirements and test methods

EN ISO 27065 Protective clothing - Performance requirements for protective clothing for operators of plant protection products and persons for follow-up work

The standard describes three performance classes:

C1 (low risk):
- Materials and seams have minimum resistance to penetration by liquids.
- Not suitable for applications involving concentrated solutions

C2 (medium risk):
- Materials and seams must have a higher level of protection than level C1
- Not suitable for applications with concentrated solutions

C3 (high risk):
- Material and seams have minimal protective effect against permeation.
- Suitable for use with concentrated and dilute solutions

ISO 14644 - Cleanrooms and associated cleanroom areas
