    Why Does EN 1149-5 Matter?

    Electrostatic discharge can create sparks that ignite flammable gases, vapors, or dust. EN 1149-5 ensures clothing is designed to:

    • Dissipate static electricity safely
    • Prevent ignition in explosive atmospheres
    • Protect workers in industries like oil & gas, petrochemicals, and explosives manufacturing

    HSE managers rely on EN 1149-5-compliant garments to:

    • Reduce risks of static-related accidents
    • Comply with workplace safety regulations
    • Safeguard workers in hazardous environments

    What Does EN 1149-5 Cover?

    EN 1149-5 covers two key performance criteria:

    RequirementExample
    Surface resistivityPreventing sparks in explosive
    atmospheres
    Charge decay
    time
    Ensuring static electricity dissipates quickly

    Understanding Performance Levels

    Garments must meet specific thresholds for:

    • Surface resistance: Limiting charge buildup.
    • Charge decay: Dissipating static electricity within safe limits.

    What Makes a Garment Compliant?

    To meet EN 1149-5, garments undergo tests for:

    • Efficient static discharge
    • Non-sparking behavior
    • Durability of electrostatic properties after washing

    How to Choose EN 1149-5-Compliant Clothing

    • Assess Workplace Hazards: Identify flammable or explosive risks.
    • Verify Certification: Look for garments labeled EN 1149-5 compliant.
    • Check Multi-Norm Options: Combine anti-static properties with flame-resistant or
      chemical-resistant standards.
