Fabric for personal protective equipment
Specifies performance requirements for protective clothing made from flexible materials, such as flame-resistant fabrics.
Electricians and engineers commonly rely on personal protective equipment (PPE) to insulate against electrical hazards. Commonly used fabric options are FR (Flame-Resistant) Modacrylic Blends, incorporating inherently flame-resistant fibers for added durability and treated for comfort and protection against flash fires in shirts, pants, and coveralls in various PPE garments. It's crucial to ensure that the selected PPE aligns with industry standards, such as those established by ISO(International Organization for Standardization), taking into consideration the specific electrical risks, comfort requirements for prolonged wear, and any additional safety features essential for the work environment.ISO 11612 is an international standard outlining performance criteria for protective clothing exposed to heat and flame, necessitating fabrics to safeguard against convective and radiant heat, molten metal splashes, contact heat, and flame spread. EN 1149-3, a European standard focusing on protective clothing with antistatic properties, mandates fabrics to discharge accumulated electrostatic charges and undergo testing for surface resistance and the ability to dissipate electrostatic charges.
These fabrics are commonly used in workwear for industries such as petrochemical, welding, and electrical utilities, where protection against heat, flames, and static electricity is crucial. When selecting flame-retardant fabrics according to ISO 11612 and EN 1149-3, it's essential to ensure that the chosen material meets the specific safety requirements of the intended application and adheres to the regulations set by these standards.
