ΕΝ343-Rainwear

EN 343 - Certified workwear for protection from rain.

 
Protective clothing certified according to EN 343 protect against precipitation as rain or snow,fog and ground humidity. The garment and the seams are tested for its water resistance, but also water vapor resistivity.
The garment is classified according to water resistant properties, and the water vapor resistivity gives the recommended working time.
A = Class water penetration (max 3)
B = Class water vapor resistance (max 3)
