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:

Requirement Example
Surface resistivity Preventing 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.
