FIRE-RESISTANT, ANTISTATIC AND NIGHT VISIBILITY PROPERTIES:
This product has been manufactured following the requirements of the EU Regulation 2016/425, for its basic use, according to the standards:
· EN ISO 11612: 2015 Protective clothing against heat and flame.
EN 1149-5: 2018. Protective clothing with electrostatic properties.
EN 17353: 2020 Type B2 Enhanced visibility clothing for medium risk.
PERMANENT FIREPROOF:
Defines the performance of the garments to protect the entire body from heat and flames; defines the requirements for overalls and 2-piece sets thanks to the use of “ad hoc” materials and specific design requirements that guarantee a level of performance to meet the standard, being regulated by different values of heat resistance.
Performance levels according to EN ISO 11612: 2015:
Limited flame spread: A1, A2
There is no destruction to the edges.
There is no hole formation.
There is no merger.

PERMANENT ANTISTATICS:
Specifies material and construction requirements for electrostatic-dissipating garments used as part of a total grounding system to prevent discharges that can cause fires.
Resistance to the accumulation of electrostatic charges according to EN 1149-5: 2018: S> 0.2 or t50< 4s
- The person wearing electrostatic dissipative protective clothing must be properly grounded. The resistance
between the person and the ground must be less than 108Ω, eg through the use of suitable footwear. - Electrostatic-dissipative protective clothing should not be removed while in the presence of flammable or flammable atmospheres.
explosives or when handling explosive or flammable substances. - The garment must be fully buttoned.
- The use of electrostatic dissipative protective clothing should not be done in oxygen-enriched atmospheres without approval.
prior to the security officer. - The dissipative behavior of electrostatic dissipative protective clothing can be affected by wear, tear,
washes and possible contamination. - Electrostatic-dissipative protective clothing must permanently cover non-compliant materials during use
normal (even in a crouched position and on the move).
N ORMA UNE-EN 17353: 2020 – PROTECTIVE CLOTHING – IMPROVED VISIBILITY EQUIPMENT FOR MEDIUM RISK SITUATIONS
It includes the requirements and test methods for the design of garments and accessories intended for situations of medium risk due to low visibility, and which provide some visibility to the users who wear them.
It is the Standard that completes the regulation of protective clothing for low visibility risk situations. Until now, there was only the EN ISO 20471: 2013 Standard that regulated clothing for HIGH RISK situations, that is, where the user passive (worker on foot located in a zone where vehicles are at risk of being run over during the day or night) is on a road with vehicles traveling with a speed from less than 30 km / h (Class 1) to more than 60 km / h (Class3).
This new Standard UNE-EN 17353: 2020 regulates clothing and accessories that improve visibility in MEDIUM RISK situations, where the user passive (on foot) is on a road where vehicles circulate at less than 15 km / h, or that the user active (person who is on the road, who is part of the circulation and who keeps his attention focused on the traffic, that is, he is driving some type of vehicle) is on a road with vehicles that circulate at a speed equal to or less than 60 km / h.
This Standard distinguishes between clothing and accessories for use in various situations:
– at night (Class B, reflective elements), which is subdivided into three categories: the B1 for hanging accessories of reflective material; the B2 for armbands and garments with reflective material only on the sleeves; and the B3 for garments with reflective material only on the torso, or on the torso + extremities (sleeves and legs)
Type A Daylight |
Type B Dark conditions |
Type AB Daylight, twilight and dark conditions |
Equipment using fluorescent material | Equipment using retroreflective material | Equipment using fluorescent material and retroreflective material or combined perfomance material |
B1 (free hanging) | ||
B2 (limbs) | AB2 | |
B3 (on torso or torso and limbs) | AB3 |
The reflectance and fluorescence requirements of reflective elements and fluorescent fabrics are the same as in EN ISO 20471. Protective equipment certified under this Standard falls within Category III of PPE classification according to EU Regulation 2016/425.
