Standards specify the minimum requirements and corresponding test methods for PPE. This is an area which is changing all the time. Motivated by a desire to deliver the very best in protective features in our clothing, conformity with standards is the ultimate aim of everything we do at HB Schutzbekleidung. In-house training is provided to inform employees about changes to standards. In parallel, our products are continuously being modified to meet the requirements of the latest quality standards. Where necessary, they are submitted for recertification.
Whilst standards ensure conformance with quality standards, innovations improve comfort and safety. This is evident in particular in "multi-standard", a current trend in our industry which describes a move towards combined sets of multiple standards (i.e. as many as possible) with a view to making them more manageable. The garments combine standards for certifying fabrics with standards for certifying processes.
Quality and innovation are changing our sector, and its standards, all the time.
To get ahead in this environment, a reactive approach is not enough. You must engage proactively with change and take an active part in its implementation. Therefore, HB Schutzbekleidung is in constant contact with all renowned certification institutes in order to be up to date with issues relating to conformity with standards at all times. These contacts are also used to ensure that the latest developments are taken into account at an early stage when developing new product ranges so that we are at the cutting edge of the market.
