EN 343:2003 Protective Clothing to Protect Against Wind and Weather
This EU standard establishes the minimum values for workwear that can be used in all kinds of weather.
EN 343 test the water resistance of garment material and how it conducts sweat away from the body. Workwear that is used in all kinds of weather must not only keep the wearer dry, but also withstand a hard day’s work. Therefore, the material used in EN 343 certified products is also tested on tear strength, among other things. Elasticity is also tested: The product’s various layers are tested for their ability to maintain their fit after repeated use. In other words, EN 343 certified workwear is tested to withstand the challenges it may ener while working in all kinds of weather.
