In hazardous work environments, exposure to harsh weather can compromise safety as much as flames or electrical arcs. That’s where EN 343 certified protective clothing becomes critical. EN 343 is a European standard that specifies requirements for garments designed to shield the wearer from rain, fog, snow, and ground moisture.
At Harbor365, we recognize that weather protection is just as vital as fire or arc resistance—especially in industries like Oil & Gas, Electric Utilities, and Renewable Energy, where outdoor exposure is frequent and often prolonged. EN 343-certified garments are tested for water penetration resistance (X) and water vapor resistance (Y), providing dual protection: keeping water out while allowing moisture from sweat to escape. The rating (e.g., EN 343 4:4) reflects high performance in both areas.
But EN 343 doesn’t stand alone. Harbor365 often integrates EN 343 compliance with other standards like EN ISO 11612 (heat/flame resistance) and IEC 61482 (arc flash protection), ensuring comprehensive defense without sacrificing comfort or mobility.
Our advanced fabric technology and design innovations offer garments with taped seams, breathable membranes, and ergonomic cuts, tailored to the specific climatic and industrial challenges of each region. This ensures professionals remain dry, comfortable, and productive—regardless of the conditions.
Harbor365’s commitment to safety means meeting not just one standard, but anticipating real-world needs with multifunctional, certified solutions. EN 343 is a core part of that mission.
