What do the EN 343 and EN 13034 standards mean for this chemical bib and brace?
The EN 13034 Type PB [6] standard guarantees that this bib and brace provides protection against liquid chemicals by effectively repelling fluids. The EN 343 Class 4:2 X standard indicates the highest class of waterproofness.
This means the fabric can withstand a water column of 10,000 mm, while the breathability class 2 ensures controlled moisture vapor transport from the inside out. This prevents you from getting clammy under the protective clothing during physical exertion.
