EN Standards in Protective Workwear: What Do They Mean?
Standards in safety equipment are official documents that guarantee which risks a garment will protect against. In order to choose the right protective clothing in industrial facilities and construction sites, it is necessary to analyze these standards well.
EN ISO 11612: Heat and Flame Protection
This standard covers protective clothing to be worn in environments where workers are exposed to limited flame spread, radiant heat, convective heat, or molten metal splashes. It is mandatory in metallurgy, petrochemical, and energy sectors.
EN 1149: Antistatic Properties
Antistatic protective clothing must be worn to prevent static electricity accumulation and arc formation in explosive or flammable environments. As BRM, we provide full protection with our fabrics enriched with carbon fiber yarns.
EN ISO 20471: High Visibility
These are standards for reflective strips and fluorescent-colored fabrics that ensure workers are easily noticed in daylight and at night under headlights, especially in areas with high vehicle traffic or logistical mobility.
