🔍 What do“Protection Classes” mean?
Coveralls are classified based on international standards—mainly EN (European Norms) or ASTM (American standards). These levels indicate how well the suit can protect you from dust, liquids, or biological hazards.

📌 Common Protection Types:

✅ Type 5/6: Basic Protection

  👉 Great choice for general cleaning or low-risk environments.

✅ Type 4: Moderate Liquid Protection

• Ideal for: Limited liquid spray or exposure

• Features: Taped seams, better chemical resistance

✅ Type 3: High-Level Liquid Protection

• Ideal for: Pressurized liquid exposure, chemical handling

• Features: Fully sealed seams and zippers for liquid-tight performance

✅ EN 14126: Biological Protection

• Ideal for: Hospitals, viral contamination areas, infectious disease control
