The ONESuit Pro hazmat suit (photo) has earned the highest level of certification recognized within the EU and Asia. The British Standards Institute has deemed the suit compliant with the recognized benchmark in fire and hazmat safety for 30 different member countries, EN 943-2 Type 1a standard. Along with EU certification, ONESuit Pro is said to be the only ensemble certified in the U.S. to both NFPA 1991 and 1994 standards. European certification requires testing not only of the fabric, but the entire ensemble — seam type, glove, boot, respirator interfaces and closure systems — to ensure it is an effective barrier against hazardous materials. — Saint-Gobain Performance Plastics, Merrimack, N.H.
