When working in an ATEX-environment, we recommends garments certified according to standard EN 1149-5 in combination with EN ISO 11612. The Anti-Static properties of a garment minimise the risk of creating sparks la source of on) which could cause an explosion. This is of significant importance when working in explosive areas in petrochemical, gas and other explosives industries.
The majority of our FR garments are EN 1149-5 certified, Anti-Static garments marked EN 1149-5 are intended to be worn with ATEX zones 1. 2. 20. 21 and 22. In oxygen enriched atmonpheres is in zone 0, the Anti-Static garments should not be used without first being approved by a qualified Safety Engineer, as wear and tear can affect the protection of the garment and it is crucial that they are worn the correct way within these environments Anti-Static garments have Anti-Static fibres woven into the fabrIc and the metal parts are covered according to the EN design requirements. The range Tera TX Non-Metal with visible details is especially suited for ATEX environment
Atex zone classification for gas, mist and vapour
Zone 0
Zone 1
Zone 2
Environment where a mixture of air and flammable gas, mist or vapour occurs often and persists for long periods of time.
Environment where a mixture of air and flammable gas, mist or vapour is Likely to occur under normal conditions
Environment where a mixture of air and flammable gas, mist or vapour can occur under normal conditions but dilutes quickly
Atex zone classification for dust
Zone 20
Zone 21
Zone 22
Environment where explosive clouds of dust appear n and for extended periods
Environment where explosive clouds of dust can appear under normal conditions
Environment where explosive clouds of dust is not likely to appear and if they do dissapears quickly
