FAQs
What does Class 1 arc protection mean on this sweatshirt?
Class 1 under IEC 61482-2 means the garment has passed the box test for protection against the thermal hazards of an electric arc at the Class 1 level. Whether that is sufficient for your site depends on the incident energy at each switchroom, which an arc flash study will establish.
Will the flame-resistant properties wash out over time?
No. The VXS+ fabric is inherently flame resistant, so the FR performance is built into the fibre and lasts the lifetime of the garment. Follow the care instructions to protect the hi-viz colour and reflective tape, and retire the garment if it becomes contaminated or damaged.
