Functions of accredited laboratories and notified bodies<\/span><\/strong><\/h1>\n
<\/div>\n

How can we be sure that our\u00a0fabrics<\/strong>\u00a0and\/or\u00a0protective<\/strong>\u00a0garments actually provide the protection against the risks indicated in the\u00a0technical data sheets<\/strong>?
\nThis is the role of\u00a0accredited laboratories and notified bodies<\/strong>, which certify fabrics\/garments according to the standards applicable to the type of protection they offer.<\/p>\n

In the case of\u00a0fabrics<\/strong>, accredited laboratories \u2013 impartial and neutral entities \u2013 carry out all the necessary\u00a0tests<\/strong>\u00a0to verify that the fabric being\u00a0marketed complies\u00a0<\/strong>with the applicable standards and, therefore, provides the\u00a0protection\u00a0<\/strong>stated in the manufacturer\u2019s technical data sheet. If the fabric meets the requirements, the laboratory issues a certificate and a test report.<\/p>\n

Generally, UNE standards require certification of the\u00a0fabric<\/strong>\u00a0in its original state and\/or\u00a0after 5 washing and drying cycles<\/strong>\u00a0according to the manufacturer\u2019s instructions. Additionally, the fabric\/garment may also be certified for a different number of washing and drying cycles.<\/p>\n

To ensure the quality of the fabric, these official laboratory reports must be carried out\u00a0periodically<\/strong>\u00a0to keep the\u00a0EN,ISO,ASTM<\/strong> and NFPA<\/strong> certificates valid and up to date.<\/p>\n

Depending on the\u00a0country<\/strong>\u00a0where the certificate is used, its validity may differ, so it is important to renew these certificates periodically to avoid them becoming obsolete.<\/p>\n

Depending on the certified standard and its\u00a0classification\/level<\/strong>\u00a0(if any), the fabric will offer greater or lesser degrees of\u00a0protection.
\n<\/strong>
\nIn our technical data sheets, you will find the\u00a0standards<\/strong>\u00a0under which our fabrics have been certified as well as the test and\/or requirement standards.<\/p>\n

In the case of\u00a0garments<\/strong>, the notified body is responsible for ensuring the performance of the garment being marketed. There are different ways to certify garments depending on the category of the\u00a0PPE<\/strong>. The two most commonly used methods are\u00a0Module C2 and Module D.<\/strong><\/p>\n

At Lenard, our\u00a0Quality Department<\/strong>\u00a0ensures that our\u00a0technical data sheets<\/strong>\u00a0are kept up to date so that when our clients certify their garments, they can provide this information to the accredited laboratory.<\/p>\n

We invite you to visit our website\u00a0www.lenard.tech<\/strong>, where you can\u00a0consult\u00a0<\/strong>the technical data sheets for all our fabrics. In addition,\u00a0we<\/strong>\u00a0also\u00a0offer<\/strong>\u00a0a line of officially\u00a0certified protective knitted garments\u00a0<\/strong>to support our garment-making clients.<\/p>\n
