ISO 11611 & ISO 11612 Material

The material must meet a minimum requirement for tearing and abrasion resistance. This optional ISO 13506 test will be performed on each fabric, performed by the testing groups and companies designated in your region. The fabric is washed a number of times before testing on the manikin as washing reduces the effectiveness of the fabric and makes it weaker. The test may take 3 seconds, but it can go further on if desired and a lot of brands have different records which they sell their product on.




These fabrics must be EN ISO 11612 standard tested. Apart from other protective clothing that meets the requirements of ISO 11612, undergarments approved under EN 11612 should be used. The standard needs full arm and leg protection, meaning that t-shirts and shorts do not meet the requirements of EN ISO 11612. 

The customer may wear the clothes under enhanced security approved in compliance with EN 14116. In order to ensure full protection, other permitted protective clothing must cover the head, arms, hands and feet. Remember that underwear listed clothing should always be worn in conjunction with outer clothes that meet EN 11612 security specifications. The underwear does not offer the correct level of protection on its own. ISO 11612 is the best way to ensure the minimum heat and fire hazards for worker protective clothing. The working environment's daily practice impacts the safety level of the staff. Provide the full test results also so that you can understand how your standards of success suit your experience. 

Hire people that can assess the dangers lurking in your environment and buy protective clothing accordingly. Little mistakes like these can cause industries to shut down because they lack the proper safety standards. If the owner must have a healthy business they must invest time in their protection of the staff.
