| Specifies general requirements for protective clothing. |

| This European standard specifi es the requirements for protective clothing against temperatures lower than -5°C, and typically relates to insulated garments used for cold store use for example. |
 | European Standard specifying the requirements for protective clothing against the influence of precipitation (e.g. rain, snowflakes), fog and ground humidity. Water resistance is mentioned as the first number after EN 343 and the second number after EN 343 specifies the breathability. For both properties 1 is the lowest value and 3 the highest. |
 | European Standard which specifies protection against liquid chemicals; determination of resistance of materials to penetration by liquids. Will be replaced in future by EN 6530. |
 | European standard for protective clothing used in welding and allied processes. All pockets have to be closed and the fabric used for the garment has to be certified according to the EN 531 norm. Will be replaced in the future by EN 11611. |
 | European Standard specifying requirements for protective clothing capable of signalling the user’s presence visually under any light conditions by day and under illumination by vehicle headlights in the dark. Background material is mentioned as the first number after EN 471 and the second number specifies the retroflective material. For both 1 is the lowest value and 3 the highest. |
 | European standard applicable to protective clothing for industrial workers exposed to heat. The garment is intended to protect the user against brief contact with flame and at least on type of heat: convective heat, radiant heat and / or large molten metal splashes. Will be replaced in the future by EN 11612. |
 | European standard which specifi es the performance requirements for the limited flame spread properties of materials and material assemblies used in protective clothing. Will be replaced in the future by EN 14116. |
 | European standard specifying the electrostatic charge and discharge of the material used for the garment. Garments according to this norm are mostly used in gas environments where static charge could lead to explosion risk. |
 | European standard specifying requirements for protective clothing intended for use in cases of a potential exposure to a light spray, liquid aerosols or low pressure, low volume splashes. |
