Why Does EN 343 Matter?

Adverse weather conditions can impact worker safety and productivity. EN 343 ensures that protective clothing is tested to withstand:

  • Heavy rain
  • Windy conditions
  • Cold, damp environments

HSE managers rely on EN 343-compliant garments to:

  • Keep workers dry and comfortable
  • Enhance productivity in outdoor work environments
  • Ensure compliance with workplace safety standards

What Does EN 343 Cover?

EN 343 evaluates garments based on two key performance criteria:

Parameter Levels Description
Water Resistance (X) 1–4 Protection from water penetration, with Level 4 offering the
highest resistance
Breathability(Y) 1–4 Ability to release moisture from perspiration, with Level 4
providing the best breathability

Garments may also be tested for:

  • Seam Strength: Ensuring seams are waterproof.
  • Thermal Comfort: Evaluating overall wearability in wet conditions.

Understanding Performance Levels

Each garment is labeled with an X/Y rating, where:

  • X refers to water resistance.
  • Y refers to breathability.

For example, a garment rated 4/4 provides the highest protection against rain and wind while ensuring optimal breathability.

What Makes a Garment Compliant?

To comply with EN 343, garments must undergo rigorous testing for:

  • Resistance to water penetration
  • Seam strength and waterproofing
  • Breathability and comfort

How to Choose EN 343-Compliant Clothing

  • Check Ratings: Choose garments with adequate X/Y levels for your environment.
  • Prioritize Comfort: Select lightweight, breathable designs for long work hours.
