Fristads Flamestat Hi-Vis Bib’n’Brace Cl 2 1075 ATHS, Yellow/Navy
The Fristads Flamestat 1075 ATHS is a flame-resistant, arc-rated hi-vis bib and brace for electricians, authorised persons and maintenance crews working around live switchgear. It is approved to the box test of EN 61482-1-2 at Class 1 and tested to the open-arc method of EN 61482-1-1 with an EBT of 10,5 cal/cm² and HAF of 81,4%, so you get a verified incident-energy rating rather than a vague flame-retardant claim. Our guide to what arc flash is explains how those ratings are derived.

Practical Details
A working garment, not just a compliance one. The fabric is dirt, oil and water repellent, with a two-way full-length front zip, elasticated braces, pre-shaped knees and CORDURA®-reinforced knee pockets for height-adjustable knee pads. Storage includes chest pockets, tuckable loose-hanging pockets with tool loops, back pockets, a leg pocket with phone pocket and detachable ID-card holder, a hammer loop and a folding rule pocket. Note the ID-card holder contains metal, worth knowing before wearing it into certain energised environments.
FAQs
Is this bib and brace enough on its own for arc flash protection?
That depends on the incident energy at your switchgear, which your arc flash assessment should state. This garment is rated to EN 61482-1-2 Class 1 and 10,5 cal/cm² EBT on its own. Fristads certifies specific garment combinations to Class 2, so layering may be needed. Check your assessment before specifying.
