An air leakage test to ensure suit is vapour proof Optional H Additional Protective Properties In addition to meeting all EN 943 requirements Lakeland imposes even higher levels of protection on Interceptor For example The EN 943 standard requires permeation testing on fabric fabric seams and closures Lakeland have also conducted permeation testing on the fabric visor seam to confirm this seam also meets the required levels of protection Seams are required to be sealed in order to achieve a permeation barrier on seams as well as fabric This could be achieved by a single sealing tape on the outside of the seam However Lakeland also apply sealing tape on the INSIDE as well as the OUTSIDE of the seam for double sealing EN 943 requires a minimum seam strength of 300N Intereptor seam strength is tested to 648N more than double the required strength EN 943 requires that joints between components require a minimum tensile strength of 100N The joint between the Interceptor sleeve and Butyl glove is tested in excess of 200N more than double the requirement Comfort is a factor of safety Lakeland Interceptor fabric has been developed to maximize chemical barrier but also maximise comfort The fabric is 15 lighter than comparable products and this can contribute to increased comfort higher work rates and greater efficiency Safety amp Health Program An effective and comprehensive safety2.
