Anti Static Workwear Standards

EN 1149-1

Protective clothing with electrostatic properties

The overall standard is EN 1149-5, with EN1149-1 being a subset of this.

EN 1149-5 refers to the material and design requirements required to provide protective clothing with antistatic characteristics. More specifically, this refers to protecting against sudden discharges of electrostatic energy. These garments are typically worn when there is a risk that static sparks may ignite inflammable substances such as gas and oil.

The EN 1149-1 refers to the test method for measurement of surface resistivity.
