FAQs
What specific safety 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 is the fabric composition?
The fabric is made from 320gm² material, comprising 99% cotton and 1% antistatic material.
Can this coverall be worn by anyone?
This coverall is designed for adults and is unisex. However, its protective features are specifically intended for individuals working in environments with risks of heat, flame, welding, or electrostatic discharge.
How should I clean the coverall to preserve its safety features?
Wash at a maximum of 60°C, do not bleach, and tumble dry on medium heat or line dry. Avoid dry cleaning and fabric softeners, as these can compromise the flame-retardant and antistatic properties.
What features are included for tool storage?
It includes an action back, a chest pocket, an internal pocket, a ruler pocket, and side access pockets for convenient storage.
Is this coverall suitable for everyday wear in a non-hazardous environment?
While comfortable, this coverall is specifically designed with flame-retardant and antistatic properties for hazardous work environments. For everyday wear in non-hazardous settings, standard workwear may be more appropriate.
What does the 'action back' feature do?
The 'action back' is a design feature that allows for greater freedom of movement and flexibility, particularly across the shoulders and back, making it easier to bend, stretch, and reach during work activities.
Troubleshooting
Coverall feels stiff after washing
This can sometimes occur with flame-retardant fabrics. Ensure you are following the recommended washing temperatures and using appropriate detergents. Avoid fabric softeners, which can interfere with protective properties. Line drying or medium heat tumble drying should help restore some flexibility.
Reduced flame retardancy suspected
Flame-retardant properties can diminish over time with improper care or extreme wear. Always adhere strictly to the care instructions. Avoid using bleach or harsh solvents. If significant wear or damage is apparent, replace the garment to ensure continued protection.
Elasticated back not providing sufficient comfort
Ensure the correct size has been selected. An incorrectly sized garment may restrict movement. The elasticated back is designed to provide a comfortable fit while maintaining a secure seal; check for any signs of damage to the elastic.

Care Instructions:
To maintain the integrity of the flame-retardant and antistatic properties, follow these care guidelines:
- Washing: Wash at a maximum of 60°C (140°F).
- Bleaching: Do not bleach. Chlorine bleach can degrade flame-retardant finishes.
- Drying: Tumble dry on a medium heat setting. For best results, remove while slightly damp and line dry.
- Ironing: Iron on a low heat setting. Ensure the garment is not excessively hot when ironing.
- Dry Cleaning: Do not dry clean, as solvents used in dry cleaning can affect the protective properties.
- Maintenance: Regularly inspect the coverall for any signs of wear, damage, or contamination. Do not wear if damaged. Ensure all fastenings are closed before washing.
