Washing recommendations:
We recommend that clothing is washed at
least three times before it is first used.
This will pre-empt any shrinking, improving
the clothing’s comfort level.
Detergent:
Please note: Clothing with reflective
material should not be soaked in solvent in
any manner.
No optical brighteners with a high alkali
content, organic solvents or free sodium
hydroxide/calcium hydroxide may be used.
Detergent must not contain any oxidising
agents.
Transfer badges > tumble dryers / washing
machines with a drum:
Clothing with transfer badges should be
turned inside out before washing/drying
otherwise the badge could be rubbed off by
the drum.
Drying:
Do not over dry.
Air drying
Tunnel finishers: Tests should be run
before using a tunnel finisher. The
clothing may be subject to uneven
shrinkage due to the large amount of
material.
The protective clothing should be
manually and visually inspected to
ensure that it is free from sharp and
hard edges, protruding wire ends,
rough surfaces and other details on
the inner or outer surfaces of the
clothing which could lead to the
injury of the user or other persons.
Perspiration will not affect the
protective functions.
In the event of enormous stress and
heavy perspiration the activity
should be stopped to avoid health
risks.
The fit of the clothing must be
checked after every wash.
The wearer of the protective clothing must
be in a position
to carry out the following movements:
Standing, sitting, walking and climbing
stairs
Stretching both hands above the head
Bending over and picking up a small
object such as a pen
The following should be taken into
account:
The sleeves and trouser legs of clothing
should not be so long that they impair the
movement of hands and feet.
The clothing should not be so loose that
it flaps around or moves around
independently in a disrupting manner.
There should be no areas where
unwanted or unintended gaps arise
between or within parts of the clothing.
There should be no unwarranted joint
movement restrictions.
The ease of putting on or taking off the
clothing with or without assistance in
accordance with the type of the clothing.
In relation to comfort the clothing should
not be too tight or prevent the wearer
from taking deep breaths and must never
restrict circulation.
Accessories, such as belts, should be
made from flame retardant material or
leather and not contain any metal parts.
Liquid, dirt and sweat may decrease the
electrical isolation.
An increased amount of oxygen in the air
significantly reduces the protection
against catching fire (e.g. welding in
combined spaces).
The electrostatic conductive capacity may
be impaired by wear and tear, cleaning
and possible dirt.
Whether the finishing features of the
clothing, e.g. sleeve cut-outs and crotch,
are of an appropriate size and in the right
places.
The following should be observed when
filling pockets:
Pockets must always be closed
Items may not stick out
Items may not fall out
Obvious reasons why the clothing is not
suitable:
The person who this clothing should fit,
cannot wear it
The protective clothing won't remain done
up or in the correct place
It impairs a vital function, such as
breathing
It is not possible to carry out simple tasks
while wearing the protective clothing
The person declines the protective
clothing due to pain
The protective clothing prevents other
important items of PPE from being worn
Sizing system:
The European sizing system refers to
body measurements making it easier
to select correctly fitting protective
clothing.
Cleaning / repair:
Protective clothing should be
maintained in proper condition and it
should be checked at regular
intervals for wear and tear, damage
and to ensure it is still fit for purpose.
The reflective material must be
replaced if the specific CIL value falls
below R=100 cd/lx/m² or the
reflective material is worn from
intensive use.
Repairs must be carried out by
experts in order to retain the
performance of the protective
clothing.
The material's suitability for use
should be checked after each
cleaning cycle.
The clothing must be completely
replaced after 50 wash cycles.
Chemical cleaning:
The compatibility of the reflective
material with the cleaning
intensifier / stain remover should
be tested. Spot cleaning can be
carried out on high visibility fabric.
Ironing:
Do not iron reflective stripes with
steam.
Neutralising:
The laundry must be effectively
neutralised. The neutralising agent
must not contain any oxidising
agents.
Contamination:
The clothing can be disposed of by
incineration or by sending to
landfill. Protective clothing which is
contaminated with hazardous
substances must be disposed of as
hazardous waste.
Ageing:
The life span of an item of clothing
depends on its use, care and storage.
These garments, as well as their
color and luminance test results,
were pre washed 5 x under
laboratory conditions without
objections.
Further ageing processes and
indications are:
Effects of UV light
Extreme temperature changes
Major visible changes (abrasion points,
thinning, rips, holes, significant colour
changes etc.)
Damaged fastenings (zips, velcro,
buttons)
Damaged seams (open or defective)
Effects of chemicals and/or moisture
Mechanical effects (abrasion, bending
stress, stress caused by pressure and
tension etc.)
Contamination, for example by dirt, oil,
splashes of molten metal etc.
Wear and tear
Innocuousness:
Protective clothing may not affect the
health or hygiene of the user.
Storage:
Store the clothing in a dry, dust-free,
dark environment without extreme
temperature fluctuations in its original
packaging.
The maximum storage time is 10 years.
Keep away from direct sunlight.
As per the EU type
examination
no
subsequent alterations are permitted to
the clothing apart from those that were
examined as part of the certification.

EN 343:2019
Protective clothing
Protection
against rain
The following standard (EN 343:2019) specifies the performance requirements for
protective clothing intended to protect the wearer from effects such as precipitation
(e.g. rain, snowflakes), mist and ground moisture.
EN 343:2019
The protective clothing/ partial body protection meets the
following performance requirements:
The numbers next to the pictogram indicate the performance
classes. The classes go from 1 to 3. The higher the number,
the higher the performance class. The upper value indicates
the water permeation resistance (WP[Pa]), the lower value
indicates the water vapour permeation resistance (Ret). The
water vapour transmission characteristic (low water vapour
transmission resistance) promotes sweat evaporation during
physical work and thus contributes to body cooling. This
contributes to better comfort and reduced physiological stress, which extends the
wearing time under certain climatic conditions.
