EN1149 Protective clothing: Electrostatic properties

Electrostatic resistance is required when the worker is exposed to environments where a spark could cause explosions or ignite fires (e.g. petrol stations, petrol tanker drivers, flour mills, clean rooms etc).  Garments according to this standard do not offer protection from mains voltages.

EN 1149 is a family of standards, including test methods for materials (part 1 to 3), performance requirements (part 5) and full garment testing (Part 4, not yet started).  Retroreflective materials is considered as an accessory of the garment and does not have to be tested separately.
