EN 342 defines requirements for protective clothing against cold environments, including thermal insulation, breathability, and water resistance. The classification includes:
0.330 M²·K/W: Thermal resistance value, indicating how well the garment insulates against cold. Higher values mean better insulation.
2.X: Performance level including factors like waterproofing, wind resistance, and breathability, ensuring the garment functions reliably in harsh outdoor conditions.
Garments certified to EN 342 are suitable for cold storage, outdoor construction, oil & gas, and extreme winter operations.
1. Worker Safety – Prevents cold-related injuries and enhances comfort in freezing conditions.
2. Performance Assurance – Guarantees that garments maintain thermal protection, breathability, and durability under real-world conditions.
3. Layering with FR/IFR Garments – EN 342 certified garments can be worn over flame-resistant (FR) or inherently flame-resistant (IFR) workwear, offering dual protection against cold and fire hazards.
4. Compliance – Meets European and international industrial PPE regulations for cold protection.
EN 342 certified workwear comes in various styles designed for cold environments and industrial applications:
Insulated coveralls and overalls – Full-body protection with high thermal resistance
Winter jackets and parkas – Layered insulation for upper body protection
Thermal trousers – Keeps legs warm while maintaining mobility
Hooded garments and accessories – Enhanced protection for head and neck areas
These garments are designed to allow layering over FR or IFR base layers, ensuring both thermal and hazard protection.
