DIN EN ISO 11611 Protective clothing for use in welding and allied processes This clothing provides the necessary protection if the wearer is exposed to small metal splashes or comes into brief contact with flames or ultraviolet radiation when performing his job. It is designed for persons who perform welding, cutting or other allied processes. As a rule, the protective effect is achieved thanks to the combination of flame-retardant fabric and specific processing characteristics. The welder protection standard DIN EN 470-1 was recently superseded by the standard DIN EN ISO 11611.

DIN EN ISO 11612 Protective clothing for workers exposed to heat Example of safety standard labelling:
If the wearer can come into brief contact with flames and is exposed to at least one heat source, this clothing can offer the desired degree of

protection. The type of flame protection is defined by the additional code A (A1 or A2). The type of heat protection is defined by the additional code (B to F). The various heat sources are differentiated as follows:
Code B Convective heat (heat transmission through flowing heat)
Code C Radiant heat
Code D Molten aluminium splash
Code E Molten iron splash
Code F Contact heat

DIN EN 13034 Type 6 Protective clothing against liquid chemicals This clothing protects the wearer to a limited degree from the effects of small amounts of sprayed (liquid aerosols, spray) or squirted (with low pressure on impact) minimally hazardous chemicals. It does not offer complete protection against the penetration of liquids since, in the case of contamination, the user can take suitable measures. The protective effect is achieved thanks to the special nature of the fabric together with the required design of the item of clothing.

DIN IEC 61482-1-2 Protective clothing against the thermal dangers of an electric arc An electric arc is a sustained gas discharge of high current density between electrical conductors. This discharge creates a very bright light with extreme heat generation which can result in serious burns or even death. This thermal clothing offers protection for all work in the low-voltage range where thermal hazards can occur due to arc faults. To this end, arc fault resistance as per EN 61482-1-2 is essentially tested. The measurement is done with the arc box test* as per the CENELEC** guidelines whereby energetic heat insulation measurements and a quantitative assessment of the combustion risk are performed. However,

DIN EN 1149 Protective clothing with electrostatic properties When worn, this protective clothing reduces the electrostatic charging of persons to a minimum and thus also the risk of discharge sparks. Sparks which result from such discharging present a major risk anywhere where explosive atmospheres can form. The protective clothing is capable of conducting static electricity.

DIN EN 1149 Protective clothing with electrostatic properties The standard EN 1149 with the title “Protective clothing – Electrostatic properties” comprises the following parts:
Part 1: Test method for measurement of surface resistivity
Part 2: Test method for measurement of the electrical resistance through a material (vertical resistance)
Part 3: Test methods for measurement of charge decay
Part 4: Testing of clothing (under preparation)
Part 5: Material performance and design requirements

DIN EN 1149 Protective clothing with electrostatic properties boco protective clothing is currently tested using the following three substandards: DIN EN 1149-1 With this test method, surface resistivity is calculated in ohms. The following applies: Electrical charges can be discharged more effectively and quicker the lower the resistance. This method can only be used for conductive materials such as carbon or metal fibres. DIN EN 1149-3 With this test method, the speed of charge decay is measured. Here the time taken for the initial charge to be reduced by 50% is calculated. The quicker the charge decay the better. Moreover, the screen attenuation effectiveness*

DIN EN 1149 Protective clothing with electrostatic properties
DIN EN 1149-5 In the most stringent EN 1149 test standard, performance properties are stipulated for both the material and the design of the protective clothing. The material must be certified to either EN 1149-1 or EN 1149-3. * Shielding effectiveness is a dimensionless measured quantity which quantifies the effectiveness of electromagnetic shielding. Whereas shielding is a technical measure, shielding effectiveness is a measure of the quality of a shield in terms of electromagnetic compatibility. The shield takes on the function, for example as per the principle of a Faraday cage, of protecting the space that it encloses from an external electrical field. Its effectiveness is expressed by shielding effectiveness. Shielding effectiveness describes the protective effect against the magnetic field and electromagnetic field. Shielding effectiveness is also often given for screened lines, although the standard, technically unambiguous measured quantity for determining the shielding efficacy of a line is transfer impedance or in older sources coupling resistance.
