It defines the requirements for knee protection in all work activities requiring kneeling. It applies to our trousers in combination with our kneepads. The Cordura® and Oxford Tech knee pockets + France Textile knee pads contribute to the resistance to object penetration at a force of at least 100 newtons (level 1). Our knee pads are classified as type 2 because they fit into the work trouser's built-in knee pocket.

International standard specifying general performance requirements for ergonomics, safety, size designation, ageing, compatibility and marking of protective clothing and information to be provided by us with protective clothing. It is only used in conjunction with other standards containing requirements for protective performance.

It applies to the performance of materials and garments in protecting against adverse weather, rain, fog and soil moisture. It meets technical requirements for clothing such as welded seams or the use of waterproof fabrics. This standard controls 2 points:

• The resistance to water penetration in the garment, categorized from 1 to 3

• Resistance to breathability of the garment, categorised from 1 to 3
  

It specifies the requirements for high visibility clothing that can visually indicate the presence of the wearer. These garments are intended to be seen in all light conditions, day and night. This standard controls the surface area of the retro-reflective strips and the surface area of fluorescent material, which is listed in classes from 1 to 3.

It guarantees that the shoes are suitable for the world of work and for professionals. It ensures the presence of a protective toe cap on the front of the shoe to protect the toes from shocks equivalent to 200 joules. It also protects against the risk of crushing above a load of 1500 decanewtons. According to this standard, there are several classifications defining the use for which safety shoes are intended (SB, S1, S2, S3, S4, S5).

European standard in addition to the main standards S1, S1P, S2, S3 ..., it allows to dissipate the electrostatic charges accumulated on the human body, thanks to an antistatic treatment of the outer and inner soles.

This European Standard specifies the requirements, test methods, markings and information to be provided for protective gloves against the mechanical risks of abrasion, slashing, tearing, puncture and, where applicable, impact. The standard measures 4 levels of resistance to the following aggressions:

A: Abrasion resistance (from 1 to 4)
B: Resistance to cutting by blades (from 1 to 5)
C: Resistance to tearing (from 1 to 4)
D: Puncture resistance (from 1 to 4)
As there is no such thing as an ideal glove, it is necessary to find the right compromise between these 4 indicators. When an X replaces a number, the aggression test has not been tested.

The EN 420 standard specifies the general requirements in terms of ergonomics, dexterity, safety, marking, information and instructions for use for gloves. For optimal use, it is important that the glove is the right size.
