FAQs
What specific standards does this coverall meet?
This coverall meets EN ISO 11612: 2015 (A1 A2 B1 C1 E3 F1) for protection against heat and flame, EN ISO 11611: 2015 (Class 1 A1 A2) for use in welding and allied processes, and EN ISO 1149-5: 2008 for electrostatic properties.
What material is the coverall made from?
It is made from a 320gm² fabric consisting of 99% cotton and 1% antistatic material.
Can this coverall be worn for general work without FR hazards?
While comfortable and durable, its primary design is for FR protection. For non-hazardous environments, standard workwear might be more suitable and breathable.
How should I care for this garment to maintain its FR properties?
Wash at a maximum of 60°C, do not bleach, tumble dry on low, and iron at a medium temperature. Crucially, avoid fabric softeners and dry cleaning, as these can degrade the FR treatment.
Does it offer protection against arc flash?
This coverall is certified for heat and flame and electrostatic properties. It is not specifically rated or designed for arc flash protection. Consult the product documentation for specific ratings.
What is the benefit of the action back and elasticated waist?
These features are designed to provide greater freedom of movement and comfort, allowing the wearer to bend, stretch, and reach more easily without the garment restricting them.
How do I find the right size?
The size refers to the men's waist in UK inches (38 in this case). It's recommended to measure your waist or consult a sizing chart to ensure a proper fit for both comfort and safety.
Troubleshooting
Coverall feels restrictive.
Ensure you have selected the correct size. The elasticated back and action back are designed to provide movement, but proper sizing is key. Check if pockets are overloaded, which could impede movement.
Fastenings are difficult to use.
Ensure studs are clean and free from debris. If studs become stiff, a small amount of wax can help, but avoid lubricants that could affect fabric properties.
Reduced effectiveness of flame retardancy.
This is usually due to improper washing. Ensure you are following the strict care instructions, especially regarding the avoidance of fabric softeners and bleach, and washing at the correct temperature. It is recommended to wash industrial FR garments separately.
Fabric feels stiff after washing.
This can sometimes occur with FR treated fabrics. Ensure you are not using fabric softeners. A low-heat tumble dry and ironing can help restore some softness.
