High Quality Anti-Static Clothing - Features and Standards

In the catalog of antistatic workwear, Oxwork highlights sale of the following items: t-shirts, jackets, high visibility polo shirt, high visibility work sweatshirt, blouse, fireproof jacket, high visibility pants, antistatic intervention pants, fire safety pants, antistatic intervention coverall and jacket .

These antistatic work clothes are designed for professionals working in sectors deemed to be at risk, such as chemicals, petrochemicals and the hydrocarbon transport sector. For this, they are made of specific textile materials that can diffuse and channel electrical charges. In addition to cotton and polyester, you will also find carbon fiber. This offers better antistatic protection.

Furthermore, most of the clothes on offer comply with the EN 340 standard. Indeed, this standard defines the general requirements for personal protective equipment or PPE, including antistatic work clothing. In addition, it uses the specific standard EN 1149-5.

For information, the EN 1149-5 standard specifies the requirements for electrically conductive work clothing. To do this, they prevent the formation of sparks leading to explosions. In addition, PPE in this category must be in contact with the skin; and the wearer in direct contact with the earth by wearing electroconductive shoes.

The following standards also complement some of our antistatic clothing models:

• The EN 381 standard justifying protection against cuts.
• The EN 11612 standard governing clothing against heat and flames.
• The EN 11611 standard justifying protection against welding risks.
• The EN 13034 standard justifying protection against chemical risks.
• The IEC 61482-2 standard against the thermal risks of an electric arc.
• The specific EN 11612 standard for flame retardant clothing.
• And the EN-ISO 20471 standard for high-visibility clothing with retro-reflective strips.

Finally, the antistatic work clothes available on our site are of high quality, very comfortable, practical and functional. In addition, they are designed in ergonomic designs, some of which have many specific pockets.

A range of antistatic shoes - Antistatic work clothes

As mentioned in EN 1149-5, it must contain antistatic clothing and shoes. For the latter, the Oxwork.com department includes ventilated safety clogs, safety sandals, low-cut safety shoes, high-top safety shoes for men and women, and safety sneakers.

The items in this selection all comply with the ESD standard which is an additional standard to the standards for shoes security. In addition, ESD models comply with EN ISO 61340-4-3. Wearing ESD anti-static shoes is the best way to drive away the electrostatic charge accumulated on the human body. To do this, they have antistatic insoles and outsoles.

As a reminder, static electricity is defined as the excess or lack of electrons on the surface of a neutral body. As a result, a body charged with static electricity can evacuate it, creating phenomena likely to damage and interfere with sensitive devices in the surrounding area.

The user will thus avoid the risk of electrostatic overloads, which cause sparks to form. These can indeed cause dangerous explosions in the petrochemical, chemical and electronic industries as well as in the transport of hydrocarbons.

Besides, being safety footwear, the EN 20345 standard complements the models available on Oxwork. This is made up of additional standards such as:

• S1: justifying the energy absorption capacity of the heel.
• S1P: for anti-perforation protection.
• SRC (SRA or SRB): presence of non-slip sole depending on the type of floor HRO: presence of sole resistant to heat up to 300°C
• WRU: for water-repellent shoes (with water-repellent upper).
