Tested to EN 1149-5 and EN 61340-5-1
The Portwest AS12 Women's Work Trousers are tested to EN 1149-5 and EN 61340-5-1.
- EN 1149-5: This standard pertains to protective clothing with electrostatic properties. It specifies requirements for materials and design to minimise the risk of electrostatic discharge (ESD) in environments where there's a potential for explosion due to electrostatic charges. The Portwest AS12s have therefore been designed and manufactured to reduce the risk of static electricity build-up, which is ideal for certain work environments to prevent sparks that might ignite flammable substances
- EN 61340-5-1: This standard is also related to electrostatic discharge control but focuses specifically on protecting electronic devices from electrostatic phenomena. It sets requirements for materials and design to prevent damage to sensitive electronic components caused by electrostatic discharge. The Portwest AS12s therefore minimise risk of static electricity build-up, thereby reducing the likelihood of damaging electronic equipment when worn by workers
In summary, the Portwest AS12s reduce the risk of electrostatic discharge in different contexts: one related to general safety in potentially explosive environments and the other related to the protection of electronic devices.
Suitable for ESD Environments
Given the aforementioned safety rating, the Portwest Women's Trousers are ideal for a variety of work environments handling electrostatic discharge:
- Power Generation
- Transmission and Distribution
- Electrical Equipment Manufacturing
- Electronics Manufacturing
- Electrical Contracting and Construction
- Renewable Energy Development
What are the Portwest AS12 ESD Trousers Made Of?
The shell fabric of the Portwest AS12 Anti-Static Trousers is made of a combination of 65% polyester, 34% cotton and 1% conductive fibre. The polyester provides strength and durability to workers doing physically demanding tasks, requiring clothing that is both flexible and robust. The cotton offers comfort and breathability, allowing wearers to stay cool while reducing rubbing and sweating, while the conductive fibre provides resistance to electrostatic and static discharge.
Care Instructions
To keep these trousers in top condition, please follow the below washing instructions:
- Wash at a maximum temperature of 60°C
- Do not bleach
- Tumble dry on normal settings
- Iron on a maximum temperature setting of 150°C
- Professional dry clean
