Indoor und Outdoor

A risk analysis provides an overview of all hazards defined at the point of use. When assessing the risks resulting from arc faults, DGUV Information 203-077 “Thermische Gefährdung durch Störlichtbögen” (Thermal risk resulting from arc faults) serves as a guideline for selecting suitable PPE against arc faults.

Yes, both collections provide protection against more than two risks:

• Indoor model:
  Protection against arc faults - IEC 61482-2:2018 APC 2
  Heat and flame protection - EN ISO 11612:2015 A1+A2/B1/C1/E3/F1
  Welder protection – EN ISO 11611:2015 class 2, A1+A2
  Antistatic workwear - EN 1149-5:2008
  High visibility – EN 17353 Type B3

• Outdoor model:
  Protection against arc faults - IEC 61482-2:2018 APC 2
  Heat and flame protection - EN ISO 11612:2015 A1+A2/B1/C1/F1
  Welder protection – EN ISO 11611:2015 class 2, A1+A2
  Antistatic workwear - EN 1149-5:2008

The PPE against arc faults does not constitute electrically insulating protective clothing for work on low-voltage installations according to EN 50286.
According to the risk assessment to be carried out, the PPE against arc faults is used for work on electrical switchgear assemblies. Direct contact with live parts is not considered. According to DGUV-I 203-077, this would mean that arc fault protection is not ensured without keeping a safe distance from live parts.

Yes, each garment must be washed before it is used for the first time, e.g. in a standard washing machine up to 60°.

Detailed care instructions (e.g. no fabric softener) can be found on the care label directly in the garment and in the user information.

The outdoor clothing must be professionally impregnated in order to reduce moisture absorption at the seams.

We recommend using a spray impregnation which is applied on the outside surface. The garment remains breathable and sweat absorbent.

According to previous findings, damp clothing exhibits no negative effects on the protective function.

Because of the reflective strips, only minimal shortening of the trouser leg or sleeve is possible. This may only be carried out by qualified companies and only with the original components.

Changes must not adversely affect the performance of the clothing. Therefore, repairs may only be carried out by qualified companies and only with the original material.
Subsequent changes to the protective clothing must comply with the EC-type examination certificate.

Yes, you can choose between five different colours for the indoor models and two high-visibility colours for the outdoor models.

Use the size chart to determine the correct size.

No, to ensure full personal protection, you need additional protective equipment such as

• Protective gloves,
• Face shield and safety helmet,
• Protective hood.

The combination of the protection components depends on the risk and the application. They must be combined individually. We will be pleased to help you with this. Please get intouch with us.

Yes, it is. You can choose one of five positions for your logo and enter a name to personalise the protective clothing.

The service life depends on the use, care and storage of the protective clothing. No specific time limit has been set in this respect.

Defective or soiled garments which can no longer be cleaned must be withdrawn from further use.

Please remove (cut out) the serial label or make it unrecognisable before disposing of the item.
