FAQs
What specific safety standards does this coverall meet?
This coverall is certified to EN ISO 11612:2015 (A1 A2 B1 C1 E3 F1), EN ISO 11611:2015 (Class 1 A1 A2), and EN ISO 1149-5:2008.
Is this coverall suitable for protection against electric shock?
The coverall has electrostatic properties certified to EN ISO 1149-5:2008, which helps dissipate static electricity. It is not rated as an electrical insulation garment for protection against direct electric shock.
What is the fabric composition?
The fabric is made from 320gm² material, consisting of 99% cotton and 1% antistatic material.
Can I wear this coverall in hot weather?
While designed for safety, the fabric weight (320gm²) and FR treatment might make it warmer than standard workwear. It is best suited for conditions where its protective properties are necessary. Proper ventilation and hydration are recommended.
How should I wash this coverall to maintain its safety features?
Machine wash at a maximum of 60°C (140°F), do not bleach, and tumble dry on low heat. Avoid fabric softeners and harsh detergents, as they can compromise the flame-retardant properties.
Does this coverall have pockets for tools?
Yes, it features an action back, a chest pocket, an internal pocket, a ruler pocket, and side access pockets for convenient tool and item storage.
What does 'flame retardant' mean in this context?
It means the fabric is treated or constructed to resist ignition and slow the spread of flames. If exposed to flame, it will char and self-extinguish once the ignition source is removed, providing a layer of protection.
Troubleshooting
Coverall feels stiff after washing.
This can sometimes occur with FR treated fabrics. Ensure you are following the recommended washing temperature and avoiding harsh detergents or fabric softeners. A low-heat tumble dry may help soften the fabric.
Stitching appears to be coming undone.
Inspect the garment for significant damage. Minor loose threads can often be carefully trimmed. If structural integrity is compromised, the garment should be replaced.
Fasteners (studs) are difficult to use.
Ensure the studs are properly aligned before fastening. If they are consistently difficult, check for debris in the stud mechanism or potential damage. Contact customer support if the issue persists.
