Portwest FR56 Red Bizflame Offshore Trousers
The Portwest FR56 Red Bizflame Offshore Trousers are equipped to cope with a variety of industrial hazards, such as splatters of molten metal, arc flashes and radiant, convective and contact heat. The trousers feature inherent anti-static properties and the stripes of reflective tape help to increase their visibility in low light conditions.
What Can the Red Bizflame Offshore Trousers Do for Me?
The trousers have many helpful features:
- Flame/Heat Resistant: Class 2 welding protection from molten metal in addition to resistance to radiant, convective and contact heat

- IEC 61482
- EN 1149:
- 5: Protects against electrostatic discharge in case of an explosion
What Do These Certifications Mean?
- EN 1149-5: This standard demonstrates whether a garment protects against electrostatic discharge in environments such as petrochemical refineries where there is a risk of explosion
- EN 11612: This standard determines whether a garment offers protection against heat and flames, and whether this protection extends to convective, radiant or contact heat
- EN 11611: This standard shows whether an item of clothing is suitable for welding or similar tasks and will protect the wearer from heat and metal splashes
- ASTM F1959: This standard determines the arc rating of a garment, which is the amount of energy needed to pass through the fabric to cause a second or third degree burn
- IEC 61482: This standard indicates the garment's ability to provide protection against the thermal hazards of an electrical arc
The trousers protect the wearer from radiant, convective and contact heat as well as class 2 welding hazards such as molten metal. The trousers resist the build-up of static charge and protect against arc flashes, attenuating 82% of the resulting heat.
