ʷ Code Letter C – Radiant Heat
In the event of an accidental splash of chemical or flammable liquids on clothing covered by this International Standard whilst being worn, the wearer should immediately withdraw and carefully remove the garments, ensuring that the chemical or liquid does not come in contact with any part of the skin. The clothing shall then be cleaned or removed from service.
To meet this standard another item meeting the same standards must also be worn (e.g. Flame resistant trouser) Non-conformance garments worn over any flame resistant garments would eliminate the effectiveness of the garment.

Part 5: Material performance and design requirements

The person wearing the electrostatic dissipative clothing shall be properly earthed. The resistance between. The resistance between the person’s skin and earth shall be less than 108Ω, e.g. by wearing adequate footwear on dissipative or conductive floors. Electrostatic dissipative protective clothing shall not be open or removed whilst in presence of flammable or explosive atmospheres or while handling flammable or explosive substances.
Electrostatic dissipative protective clothing is intended to be worn in Zones 1, 2, 20, 21 (see EN 60079-10-1 [7] and EN 60079-10-2 [8]) in which the minimum ignition energy of any explosive atmosphere is not less than 0,016 mȷ; Electrostatic dissipative protective clothing shall not be used in oxygen enriched atmospheres, or in Zone 0 (see EN 60079-10-1 [7]) without prior approval of the responsible safety engineer. ”
The electrostatic dissipative performance of the electrostatic dissipative protective clothing can be affected by wear and tear, laundering and possible contamination. Electrostatic dissipative protective clothing shall be worn in such a way that it permanently covers all non-complying materials during normal use (including bending movements).

IEC 61482-2 : Protective clothing against the thermal hazards of an electrical arc.
IEC 61482-1-1:2019: Open arc method – This test method gives an Arc Thermal Performance Value (ATPV) rating or Energy Break-Open Threshold (EBT) rating or Incident Energy Limit (ELIM) which can be used in conjunction with Risk Assessments at areas of potential exposure to ensure that there is a more accurate assessment of the current level of protective clothing that is provided. An ATPV rating is the amount of incident energy that will give a 50 % probability of the onset of 2nd degree burn without the fabric breaking open.
61482-1-2: Box Test Method – This test method gives a protective classification of:

APC 1 = 4kA/0.5s – Lower Level of Protection
APC 2 = 7kA/0.5s – Higher Level of Protection

A risk assessment should be conducted prior to any live working.
Limitations of Use:
With arc protection, the environmental conditions and the risks at the working site shall be regarded. Deviations from the parameters in this document may result in more severe conditions. For full body protection, the protective clothing shall be worn in the closed state and other suitable protective equipment (e.g. helmet with protective face screen , protective gloves and footwear(boots)) shall be used. Protective clothing according to this document is not intended to be used as electrical insulating protective clothing and does not provide protection against electrical shock. Protective clothing that becomes contaminated with grease, oil, or flammable liquids or combustible materials should not be used. Protective clothing should be cleaned when necessary. Protective clothing that is damaged to the extent that its protective qualities are impair (e.g. holes in the garment, not functioning closures) should not be used.
Other garments worn together with protective clothing and dirty protective clothing can reduce the protection. Damaged garments should be replaced. No garments like shirts, undergarments or underwear made of, for example, polyamide, polyester or acrylic fibers which melt under arc exposure should be used.
