What Do These Certifications Mean?

• 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
• 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
• IEC 61482-2: This is the overall standard covering protective clothing against thermal arc hazards and electric arc
• 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
• EN 13034: This standard specifies the requirements for protective clothing against splashes of chemical products

The Portwest FR602 jacket has an ARC rating of 2, and will attenuate 75.8% of the heat resulting from an electric arc. Welding hazards have also been tested for, and the jacket is certified as providing class 1 protection from such dangers. The jacket will shield you from radiant, convective and contact heat, as well as splashes of chemical products.
