Fristads Flamestat long johns 7027 in black, arc-rated thermal underwear approved to EN 61482-1-2 Class 1, EN ISO 11612 A1 B1 C1 and EN 1149-5. A 240 g/m² modacrylic and cotton blend base layer for substation and switchroom personnel wearing arc flash PPE. Sizes XS to 4XL.
Fristads Flamestat Long Johns 7027, Black, Class 1
The Fristads Flamestat 7027 is a pair of flame-resistant long johns worn as a base layer under arc-rated workwear. Approved to EN 61482-1-2 Class 1 (box test), EN ISO 11612 A1 B1 C1 and EN 1149-5 for electrostatic properties, they give substation and switchroom personnel a certified thermal layer that will not melt or ignite against the skin in an arc flash event.
Ordinary synthetic underwear is a real hazard under arc-rated outer layers. Polyester and nylon base layers can melt into the skin at incident energies well below the rating of the outer garment, turning a survivable exposure into a serious burn injury. A certified flame-resistant base layer removes that weak link. Our guide to selecting appropriate arc flash PPE explains how layers combine, and the what is arc flash page covers the hazard itself.

FAQs
Can I wear these long johns on their own as arc flash PPE?
No. They are a Class 1 base layer intended to be worn under arc-rated outer garments. The manufacturer publishes certified garment combinations achieving EN 61482-1-2 Class 2 and open arc testing to EN 61482-1-1, so check the combination table against the incident energy on your site labels before relying on any layered system.
