FAQs
What types of hazards do these trousers protect against?
These trousers offer dual hazard protection, meaning they protect against both flame (EN ISO 11612) and arc flash (ASTM F1959) hazards. They also provide UPF 50+ protection against UV rays.
What material are the Portwest Bizweld Trousers made of?
The trousers are made from Bizweld fabric, which is 100% Cotton with a flame-retardant (FR) finish, weighing 330g.
How should I wash these trousers to maintain their safety features?
Machine wash at a maximum of 40°C on a gentle cycle, do not bleach or use fabric softeners, tumble dry on low heat, and iron on medium. Avoid dry cleaning.
Are these trousers suitable for all types of work environments?
They are specifically designed for environments with flame and arc flash risks. Always consult your workplace safety guidelines to ensure they meet specific requirements.
What does CE-CAT III certification mean?
CE-CAT III certification indicates that the garment provides protection against high-risk hazards, ensuring it meets stringent European safety standards for Personal Protective Equipment (PPE).
Do these trousers have many pockets?
Yes, they feature three pockets in total: side pockets, a rule pocket, and two additional pockets for ample storage.
Can I wear these trousers in hot weather?
While made of cotton for breathability, the 330g weight and FR treatment might make them warmer than lighter synthetic fabrics. However, the UPF 50+ protection is beneficial for outdoor work.
Troubleshooting
Trousers feel tight or restrictive.
Ensure you have selected the correct size. The half-elasticated waist offers some adjustability, but proper sizing is key for comfort.
Fabric's protective properties seem diminished after washing.
Verify that you have followed the care instructions precisely, especially regarding detergent type and washing temperature. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners.
Seams are showing signs of wear.
While designed for durability, excessive strain can affect seams. Check for potential snagging hazards in your work environment and ensure no undue stress is placed on the garment.

Compatibility: The Portwest Bizweld Trousers meet international safety standards including EN ISO 11612 (A1+A2, B1, C1, E2, F1), EN ISO 11611 (Class 1 A1+A2), and ASTM F1959/F1959M-12 (ATPV 11.2 CAL/CM²).
