EN ISO 11612

Understanding Performance Levels

EN ISO 11612 assigns performance levels (e.g., A1, B1, C2) for each hazard. Higher numbers represent greater protection. For example:

• C1 protects against lower radiant heat.
• C4 provides the highest protection for extreme radiant heat.

What Makes a Garment Compliant?

To meet EN ISO 11612, garments undergo rigorous testing, including:

• Flame spread tests: Ensures the fabric doesn’t ignite, melt, or drip.
• Heat resistance tests: Measures how the garment withstands various heat sources.
• Durability tests: Confirms protection remains intact after washing and wear.

HSE managers should look for certified garments labeled with the specific performance levels required for their industry hazards.

How to Choose EN ISO 11612-Compliant Clothing

• Assess Workplace Hazards: Understand the specific heat hazards your workers face (flames, molten metal, radiant heat).
• Check Certifications: Look for garments tested and certified to EN ISO 11612, clearly labeled with performance levels.
• Prioritize Comfort & Fit: Protective clothing should not only meet safety standards but also provide comfort and ergonomic design to ensure workers can perform effectively.
• Evaluate Additional Features: Consider garments with multi-norm compliance, such as added antistatic properties (EN 1149) or arc flash protection (IEC 61482) for broader safety coverage.
