Standards

ASTM-F-2178-12

Standard test method for determining the arc flash index and standard specification for face protection products.

ANSI/ISEA Z89.1: American standard for head protection in industry

MANDATORY

Type 1: The impact force transmitted to the cap must not exceed 4,450 N when a 3.6 kg (8 lb) impact is dropped at a speed of 5.5 m/s (metres per second).
Penetration: A 1 kg penetrator must not come into contact with the false head at a speed of 7.0 m/s.
Flammability: the helmet must not burn with the emission of a fl ame for more than 5 seconds after the fl ame has been withdrawn
Electrical resistance: proof test at 20,000 volts for class E or 10,000 volts for class G. Class C off ers no protection against electrical hazards.
Type 2: In addition to the requirements of type 1, type 2 head protection must also satisfy:
Energy attenuation: the acceleration must not exceed 150 g in the event of a fall onto the cap and sideways using a 5 kg dummy head at 3.5 m/s.
Lateral penetration: At the front, rear and sides, a 1 kg penetrator must not come into contact with the headform at a speed of 5.0 m/s.

OPTIONAL

ANSI/ISEA Z89.1 4 options: low temperature (LT), high temperature (HT), reverse wear position and high visibility.

EN14605: Type 4/ Type 3 PROTECTIVE CLOTHING AGAINST LIQUID CHEMICALS

Requirements for chemical protection clothing with liquid-tight (type 3) or spray-tight (type 4) connections, including items providing only partial body protection (types PB [3] and PB [4]).


This standard sets out the minimum requirements for the following types of limited use and reuseable chemical protective clothing:


- Clothing protecting the full body with liquid-tight connections between the various clothing parts (Type 3: liquid-tight clothing) ;
- Clothing protecting the full body with spray-tight connections between the various clothing parts (Type 4: spray-tight clothing) ;
Note: These standards were formerly entitled EN1512 (Type 4) and EN1511 (Type 3).

STANDARDS TYPE CHEMICAL PROTECTION
EN13034 6 Against splashes
EN ISO 13982-1 5 Against dust (asbestos)
EN14605 4 Against mists

EN ISO 11612

PROTECTION AGAINST HEAT AND FLAME

Protection against heat and flame. This standard specifies the performance requirements of materials and protective clothing against heat and flames. They apply to clothing made of soft material, designed to protect the human body except the hands against heat and/ or flame.
Tested are:

Test Code Performances
Limited flame spread A A1 and/or A2
Convective heat B B1 to B3
Radiant heat C C1 to C4
Molten aluminium splash D D1 to D3
Molten metal splash E E1 to E3
Contact heat F F1 to F3
