Many standards in one garment

What does multi-standard protection mean?

In the field of protective clothing and PPE, one comes across the term "multi-standard protection" again and again.  Multi-standard protection always complies with several standards that deal with working in hazardous or extreme conditions. 

In principle, the individual garments can comply with only one standard or with a plurality of standards. For example, multinorm protective clothing includes nine different standards (EN 343, EN 1149-5, EN 11611, EN 11612, EN 13034-6, EN 14058, EN 14404, IEC 61482-2, EN ISO 20471).
