PROTECTIVE CLOTHING – ELECTROSTATIC PROPERTIES – PART 5: MATERIAL PERFORMANCE AND DESIGN REQUIREMENTS

EN 1149-5:2018 specifies material and design requirements for electrostatic dissipative clothing, including hoods and caps, that is worn as part of a total earthed system for protection against incendiary discharges in areas where there is a risk of explosion (ATEX Environments)

Please note that this standard does not encompass protections against hazards associated with mains voltages and oxygen enriched workspaces. This European Standard is not applicable for protection against mains voltages.

The test methods used in EN 1149-5:

• EN1149-1: 2006 measurement of surface resistivity (surface resistance)
• EN1149-3: 2004 measurement of charge decay
• EN1149-4: garment test method (standard currently under development)
