PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) apparel testing is crucial to ensure that protective clothing meets safety standards and effectively safeguards users from hazards. This testing evaluates various aspects of the apparel, including its material properties, durability, and functionality under specific conditions.
Globac provides extensive protective apparel testing to fulfill your global requirements for personal protective equipment (PPE) across various industries, including safety footwear, firefighting gear, motorcycle apparel, and surgical/disposable gloves. Our services encompass testing for surgical gowns, face masks, high-visibility outerwear, puncture-resistant clothing, eye protection, and shin guards through our laboratories in China, India, Bangladesh, the United Kingdom, and the United States.
Our PPE testing capabilities include evaluating products for COVID-19 protection to ensure compliance with global safety standards, performance features, and quality requirements. We assess safety footwear for mechanical risks, slip resistance, thermal hazards, and ergonomic qualities. Our testing of PPE gloves covers mechanical, thermal, chemical, and microbial risks, while football shin guards are evaluated for ergonomics, sizing, coverage, and impact protection.
Additionally, Globac conducts testing for properties such as high visibility, protection against rain, chemicals, and heat, as well as flame-resistant clothing that withstands tearing, bursting, abrasion, and flexing (as pre-treatments). Our flammability testing measures resistance to radiant heat, contact heat, convective heat, and electrostatic risks.
We also perform testing for PPE head, eye, and face protection equipment, including safety goggles, face shields, sunglasses, ski goggles, safety glasses, swimming goggles, swim masks, bicycle helmets (recreational, BMX, mountain biking), skateboarding helmets, recreational snow sport helmets, and ice hockey helmets.
