Cold protection (according to EN 342)
Clothing for cold protection protects the wearer from low temperatures and exposure to cold. It is often used in occupational fields where employees are exposed to extremely cold conditions, such as in deep-freeze warehouses or when working outdoors during the winter months.
EN 342 Standard:
The European standard EN 342 defines requirements and test methods for the performance of cold protection clothing. It applies to clothing that protects against a cool or cold microclimate as well as clothing used in extremely cold conditions of -40°C and below. Key aspects of the standard include thermal insulation (Rct value) and resulting basic insulation (Icler). These measurements quantify the performance of the clothing under various conditions.
Applications:
Cold protection clothing finds applications in a variety of industries and professions, including food processing, retail (e.g., in refrigerated and freezer sections), agriculture, construction, logistics, and other areas where work at low temperatures is involved.
Leading Manufacturers:
In the market for cold protection clothing, some companies have established themselves as leading manufacturers. These include Fortdress, Flexitog, HB Tempex, ColdTex, IBV, and Tessuto. These companies offer a wide range of cold protection products that meet the requirements of the EN 342 standard and are optimized for various use cases.
