Fabric Tests
For coverall, it is more related to utility and durability as their production characteristics. Utility characteristics are changes in the wearing functions of a garment that occur when the fabric is subjected to a mechanical, thermal, electrical, or chemical force while being worn. While durability refers to the ability to maintain protection capabilities and wearing experiences until the maximum tolerance level is reached. By taking a peep at these test methods, you can understand how strict for a coverall to be CE qualified.
Based on EN 14325, there are 6 basic physical tests must be tested to analysis durability:
- Abrasion Resistance
- Flex Cracking Resistance
- Trapezodial Tear Strength
- Tensile Strength
- Puncture Resistance
- Seam Strength
