ENSEMBLES AND GARMENTS FOR PROTECTION AGAINST COLD.
This standard specifies requirements and test methods applicable to materials and seams of protective clothing against the influence of precipitation (e.g. rain, snowflakes), fog and ground humidity at temperatures down to 5° C. The garment is tested regards to waterproofness (X) and water vapour resistance (Y)
The standard specifies test methods and requirements of functional properties in garments which are intended to protect against cold (air temperature below -5 °C). Helly Hansen has tested its products according to method B, which means that the insulation (X) has been measured for a garment combination (jacket/pant or coveralls) with a base layer. In addition, air permeability (Y) is measured.
X - Resistance to water penetration, level 1, 2 or 3 (where 3 protects best against rain) Y - Water vapour resistance, level 1, 2 or 3 (level 3 most permeable)
X (B) - thermal insulation Y - air permeability class (classes 1-3, where class 3 protects best against wind)

GARMENTS FOR PROTECTION AGAINST COOL ENVIRONMENTS.
ELECTROSTATIC PROPERTIES
This standard specifies requirements and test methods for performance of single garments for protection against cooling of the body in cool environment (air temperature of -5 °C and above). All garments approved according to EN 14058 shall be marked with pictogram indicating that protection against cool environment is offered with the appropriate performance level: Y - Thermal resistance class (classes 1-3)
EN 1149 covers the requirements of properties and test methods for measurement of protection against static electricity and the discharge process. EN 1149-1 specifies requirements and test methods for materials intended to be used in the manufacturing of electrostatic dissipative protective clothing (or gloves) to avoid incendiary discharge. EN 1149-2 specifies a test method for measuring the electrical vertical resistance of protective clothing materials- This European standard is not applicable for specifying protection against mains voltages. EN 1149-3 specifies methods for measuring the dissipation of electrostatic charge from the surface of materials for garments. This test method is applicable to all materials, including homogeneous materials and inhomogeneous materials with surface conducting fibres and core conducting fibres. EN 1149-5 specifies material and design requirements for electrostatic dissipative protective clothing, used as part of a total earthed system, to avoid incendiary discharges. The requirements may not be sufficient in oxygen enriched flammable atmospheres. This European standard is not applicable for protection against mains voltages. The material must meet the requirements set out in EN 1149-1 or -3.
