STATIC ELECTRICITY

THE RISK An electrical charge caused by an imbalance of electrons on the surface of a material.

WHO IS AT RISK? Static electricity is an invisible hazard in many production, manufacturing, industrial and (ATEX) explosive environments.

FR710

INJURIES Minor discomfort to serious harm such as burns, falls and cardiac arrest.

STANDARDS EN 1149 ELECTROSTATIC PROPERTIES

FR402

EN 1149 standard specifies a test method for materials to be used in the production of protective clothing with electrostatic dissipation for preventing incendiary discharge.

THE TEST EN1149 - 1 Test method for measure of surface resistivity.

EN1149 - 3 Test method for measurement of charge decay.

EN1149 - 5 Material performance and design requirements.
