FAQs

Is this waistcoat enough arc protection on its own?

That depends on the incident energy at your equipment. The waistcoat is rated class 1 to EN 61482-1-2 with an EBT of 10.5 cal/cm², and some of its certifications apply only when worn with Fristads Shirt 109425. Your arc flash study or site risk assessment should dictate the required rating.

Can it be industrially laundered?

Yes. The datasheet states the garment is leasing laundry-tested to ISO 15797, so it suits rental and industrial laundry programmes. Always follow the care label, as incorrect laundering can degrade flame-resistant and arc-rated properties over time.

What sizes and colours are available?

This version is colour 130 Hi-Vis Yellow in sizes XS to 2XL. The manufacturer notes that sizes may vary between colours, so confirm availability when ordering.
