Certificates

Ocean® rain and work clothes are certified protective clothing
by the European standards.

EN 343 - Protection against water

EN 343 certified rain and workwear protects against water ingress. Clothing with EN 343 certification is designed to provide the wearer with waterproof and breathable protection to keep them dry and protected in wet weather. This standard is important for those who have a physically demanding job and are exposed to rain, snow or steam.

EN 20471 - High visibility

EN 20471 certified rain and workwear provides high visibility for the wearer. Clothing with EN 20471 certification features fluorescent colours and reflective stripes designed to make the wearer more visible in daylight, at dusk and at night. This standard is important for those working on or near roads, railways or other places where there is a risk of collisions.

EN 1186 - Food contact

EN 1186 is a certification standard that measures the suitability of materials and products for food contact. Clothing with EN 1186 certification has been tested to ensure it does not release harmful substances or chemicals that can contaminate food during handling, processing or storage. This standard is important in industries such as food processing, catering and hospitality where the wearer may come into contact with food or food packaging materials.

EN 11612 - Protection against heat and flame exposure

EN 11612 certified rain and workwear protects against heat and flame exposure by preventing ignition and reducing the risk of injury. This standard is important for industries where the wearer may be exposed to fire or heat risks, such as welding, firefighting or industrial manufacturing.

EN 14116 - Limited protection against fire spread

EN 14116 certified rain and workwear provides limited protection against heat and flame exposure by resisting the spread of fire and self-extinguishing once the source of ignition is removed. This standard is important for industries where the wearer may be exposed to flames, such as the oil and gas industry or electrical utilities.

IEC 61482-2 - Arc flash

IEC 61482-2 certified rain and workwear protects against the thermal hazards of an arc flash. Clothing with IEC 61482-2 certification has been tested to determine its ability to protect the wearer from the thermal effects of an arc flash, including the heat generated, the shock wave and the electric shock. This standard is important in industries such as electrical supply, construction and maintenance where there is a risk of exposure to arc flash.

EN 14605 - Chemicals

EN 14605 certified rain and workwear provides protection against liquid chemicals. Clothing with EN 14605 certification is tested for resistance to the penetration of liquid chemicals, including acids, alkalis and solvents, and must provide a barrier that prevents these substances from coming into contact with the wearer's skin. This standard is important in industries such as chemical processing, pharmaceuticals and waste management where the wearer may be exposed to hazardous liquids.

EN 13034 - Chemicals

EN 13034 certified rain and workwear provides protection against liquid chemicals. Clothing with EN 13034 certification is tested for resistance to low-level liquid chemical penetration, including light spray and splash of chemicals. This standard is important in industries such as petrochemicals, oil and gas, and chemical processing where the wearer may be exposed to low-level chemical hazards.

EN 1149-5 - Electrostatic discharge

EN 1149-5 certified rain and workwear protects against the risk of electrostatic discharge (ESD). Clothing with EN 1149-5 certification is designed to prevent or limit the build-up of static electricity on the wearer, reducing the risk of spark discharges that can ignite flammable substances or cause explosions in hazardous work environments. This standard is important in industries such as petrochemical, gas and mining where there is a high risk of explosions due to static electricity.

EN 11611 - Welding

EN 11611 certified rain and workwear protects against welding-related hazards. Clothing with EN 11611 certification has been tested for resistance to small splashes of molten metal, radiant heat and other welding-related hazards. This standard is important in industries such as welding, metal fabrication and construction where the wearer may be exposed to these types of hazards.
