Vejledning til standarder

I de fleste brancher skal arbejdstøj overholde en række etablerede standarder, som relaterer til specifikke arbejdstyper. Disse standarder varierer afhængigt af branche, så derfor har vi lavet en omfattende vejledning, der hjælper dig med at sikre, at dit arbejdstøj stemmer overens med standarderne, er velegnet til arbejdet og beskytter dig ordentligt.


Oversigt over standarder

EN 531

Standard EN531 stipulates that industrial workers exposed to fire and heat are required to wear clothing providing protection in the following three main areas: (A) the spread of flames – garment complies with standard (B) heat transfer – compliance level from 1 to 5 (C) heat radiation – compliance level from 1 to 4

EN 1149-5

Where there are risks of static sparks igniting flammable substances, work wear with anti-static characteristics should be worn. Standard EN1149-5 specifies clothing design requirements to ensure protection against sudden discharges of electrostatic energy. • Thin attachments (e. g. labels and reflectors) must be permanently attached. • Conductive parts (e. g. buttons and zips) and all unshielded materials must be covered completely by anti-static clothing

EN 13034:2005, type PB [6]

Clothing complying with this standard offers protection against vapor, liquid chemicals, and exposure to light spraying and low pressure

ENV 50354:2004

Exposure to electric arcing requires workers to wear arc-tested workwear. An arc test involves producing a powerful, short-circuit explosion with a concentrated high current. The clothing is positioned close to the explosion, where it can be easily ignited, to guarantee the work wear provides individuals with sufficient protection against electric arcing.

EN 470-1

This standard ensures work wear for welders and safeguards the wearer from droplets of molten metal, brief exposure to open flames and ultraviolet radiation.

EN 471

EN 471 stipulates requirements regarding visibility when working in areas with heavy traffic such as airports, transport centres and railway tracks. This standard is divided into three different classes determining the amount of fluorescent material and reflectors to be worn depending on the type of worker and level of risk they are exposed to. Class 1: exclusively for visitors - their movements on site should always be accompanied. Class 2: worn by supervisors overseeing the work. Class 3: must be worn by everyone working permanently in an area without separation from moving traffic. Class 3 work wear can be worn with clothing which does not meet the requirements of EN471 as long as the Class 3 work wear remains uncovered. The symbol confirms the clothes are certified and approved in accordance with EN471. The two numbers to the right indicate the class under which the clothing (the number at the top) and reflectors (the number at the bottom) are classified. As a rule, a two piece suit (e. g. jacket and trousers) meets the requirements of Class 3 when its parts are worn together. The parts of the suit must be covered by visible, fluorescent material at a minimum total of 0.80 m2 in order to comply with the standard.

EN 14404 type 2, level 1

This European standard specifies the requirements for knee protection when working in a role needing a kneeling position. Type 2 means the knee protection has been designed to fit into adjustable knee pockets on the trousers and Level 1 means it is suitable for working on a smooth and level surface. Knee pads 2-790 and 2-791 are approved and tested for this standard. KANSAS products with knee pockets are converted regularly in order to comply with the standard.

EN 343

European standard for clothing providing protection against rain.
