Disposable Protection Clothing Guide to standards and products Your team’s safety at the forefront From light liquid splashes to hazardous chemicals and radioactive material — employees face various hazards in the course of their daily work. To simplify the process of selecting appropriate protective clothing, the European Union has defined harmonised standards for different protection classes (also called types) for chemical protection – Category III. The protection type is confirmed by certification and indicates the kind of exposure (dust, liquid, gas) for which the suit is suitable. The attainment of the individual types only ensures the minimum requirements necessary for certification. Please refer to our technical datasheets for details of the individual tests.
