Offshore jackets are vital for workers working on marine platforms, where they are exposed to various hazards and challenging weather conditions. These jackets must meet strict standards and certifications to ensure the safety and protection of personnel.
Offshore jackets certification
One of the most important certifications for offshore jackets is the ISO 13688:2013, which specifies the general requirements for protective clothing. In addition, offshore jackets often must meet specific standards, depending on the risks present at the work location. For example, jackets that provide protection against flames and heat must meet the EN ISO 11612 standard, while jackets that provide protection against electrical hazards must meet the EN 61482 standard.
Waterproofing and windproofing are also important properties of offshore jackets, especially considering the exposure to the elements at sea. Jackets that meet standards such as EN 343 for protection against rain and wind provide the necessary protection against these weather conditions.
In addition, offshore jackets must be comfortable and functional so that employees can work effectively without hindrance. Features such as breathability, adjustable cuffs and a good fit contribute to the jackets' comfort and usability in these demanding environments.
