We, at P&A Products, guarantee the delivery of high-quality products conform to European Standards.
This CE marking is the mandatory labelling of products that are covered by one of the “New Approach” directives, such as protective equipment including high-visibility clothing and accessories.
The certificates applicable to our products are:
CE EN 1150: Includes high-visibility clothing for non-professional use. However, the mandatory criteria concerning the minimum area and positioning of the reflective and fluorescent material, is aimed at optimal visibility. These clothing items contain fluorescent elements for increased daytime visibility and retro-reflective elements for night-time visibility. The last only work when they are illuminated.
CE EN 13356: This standard is not applicable to clothing, but only accessories, such as hangtags, snap wraps, stickers,… Just like clothing, the purpose of these products is to make the user highly visible, day and night.
CE EN 471: This standard covers high-visibility clothing for professional use, such as the Mesh Vests for adults. Here, we distinguish 3 different classes. The class depends on the total area of the fluorescent and reflective material. Products meeting this standard guarantee high visibility in all weather conditions.
CE EN 343: Just like the previous standard, this one is applicable to occupational clothing, but here the water and wind tightness are important up to temperatures of +5°C. Here too, we distinguish 3 different classes. These classes are determined by three different factors, i.e. water tightness, wind tightness and breathing properties.
To obtain these certificates, we work with Centexbel, who has the power as notified body to issue these certificates to us. They are one of the Notified Bodies approved by the Belgian authorities.
Centexbel, the Technical and Scientific Centre for the Belgian Textile Industry, was founded in 1950 at the initiative of Fedustria, the Belgian Federation for Textile, Wood and Furniture Industries, in order to strengthen the position of Belgian textile companies.
