Multi-Norm Flame-Retardant Workwear

Multi-norm flame-retardant workwear for industry, welding and electrical work

A multi-norm garment combines several certifications in one: protection from heat and flame, dissipation of electrostatic charges, electric arc resistance, light chemical splashes and, in many models, high visibility. It is the typical choice when workers face different hazards in the same shift, as in petrochemicals, electrical utilities, industrial maintenance and steel fabrication.

How to choose the right flame-retardant garment

Start from the risk assessment: first identify the hazards present (flame, molten metal splashes, electric arc, explosive atmospheres, vehicle traffic), then look for garments that carry all the required standards. In the product list, the standards filter narrows the choice immediately; each product page lists the certifications of that item.

The standards in plain English

EN ISO 11612: protection from heat and flame. The codes indicate the type of hazard: A limited flame spread, B convective heat, C radiant heat, D molten aluminium splash, E molten iron splash, F contact heat.
EN ISO 11611: welding garments. Class 1 is for work with little spatter and low radiant heat, Class 2 for more demanding work.
EN ISO 14116: limited flame spread materials, with index 1, 2 or 3; garments with index 1 must be worn over garments with index 2 or 3.
EN 61482: protection against the thermal effects of an electric arc, in Class APC 1 or APC 2 (tested with a higher-intensity arc).
EN 1149-5: anti-static garments, effective only if the wearer is earthed, for example with dissipative footwear.
EN 13034 Type 6: limited protection against light splashes of liquid chemicals.
EN ISO 20471 (Classes 1, 2 and 3) for high visibility and EN 17353 for enhanced visibility in medium-risk situations; EN 343 against rain and EN 342 against cold.

Garments for every need

For full-body protection choose multi-norm flame-retardant coveralls; if you prefer a two-piece outfit pair flame-retardant jackets and flame-retardant work trousers. For outdoor work there are flame-retardant waterproof jackets and flame-retardant waterproof trousers; as a base layer, flame-retardant T-shirts and shirts and flame-retardant polo shirts. The kit is completed by flame-retardant welding accessories such as balaclavas, spats and sleeves.

Sizes, quantities and care

Each product page shows stock by size and colour in our Milan warehouse and our European warehouse, with the next arrival date for items being restocked. Items in stock in Milan ship within 24/48 working hours and delivery is free on orders over 150 € + VAT. To kit out a whole team you can request a quote on the website. Wash garments following the label and replace them if torn or soaked with oils and flammable substances, which reduce protection.

Domande frequenti

What does multi-norm flame-retardant workwear mean?

It is a garment certified for several hazards at once, for example heat and flame (EN ISO 11612), electrostatic charges (EN 1149-5) and electric arc (EN 61482). The standards for each garment are shown on the product page.

What is the difference between EN ISO 11612 and EN ISO 14116?

EN ISO 11612 certifies protection from heat and flame with codes for different types of exposure. EN ISO 14116 only covers limited flame spread: garments with index 1 must be worn over flame-retardant garments.

What do arc Classes APC 1 and APC 2 mean?

They are the two classes of protection against the thermal effects of an electric arc under EN 61482: APC 2 is tested with a higher-intensity arc than APC 1. The required class should be defined in the electrical risk assessment.

Is an EN 1149-5 anti-static garment enough on its own in an ATEX zone?

No: protection only works if the wearer is earthed, for example with dissipative footwear, and if the garment stays fastened and covers non-compliant clothing. It must not be opened or removed in flammable atmospheres.

How should flame-retardant garments be washed?

Follow the label instructions on temperature and permitted products: incorrect washing can reduce performance. A garment soiled with oil or grease should be cleaned immediately, as these substances are flammable.

Can I order flame-retardant workwear for the whole team?

Yes: for large quantities you can request a quote on the website. Each product page shows stock by size and colour, and items in stock in Milan ship within 24/48 working hours.
