EN1835

EN1835 is a European standard that specifies requirements for the design and construction of protective clothing to protect against heat and flame. It is also known as BS EN1835. This standard is intended to be used in conjunction with other relevant standards that specify testing methods and performance requirements for protective clothing. The standard covers a range of protective clothing, including coveralls, jackets, trousers, and hoods, designed to protect wearers from various thermal hazards. These hazards can include radiant heat, convective heat, and direct flame contact.

The requirements in EN1835 relate to aspects such as material properties, seam construction, and garment design. The standard aims to ensure that the protective clothing provides an adequate level of protection while also being comfortable and practical for the wearer to use. It is important for manufacturers and users of protective clothing to understand and comply with the provisions of EN1835 to ensure the safety of individuals working in environments where heat and flame hazards exist. The standard is periodically reviewed and updated to reflect advancements in materials and protective technologies.
