Limited Life Protective Clothing
– Instructions For Use
- These garments are limited use protective clothing manufactured to meet the requirements of PPE regulation 2016/425 and PPE standard EN13688: protective clothing general requirements.
- Manufactured under ISO 9001 quality control procedures.
- Bag and garment labels indicate producttype.
- Selection of the garment suitable for the application is the users final responsibility.
- Recommended for single use applicationsonly.
- Ensure all seams and closures are intact. Worn, damaged or contaminated garments should not be used.
- No special storage conditionsrequired.
- Fabrics with low air permeability can cause heat stress. Frequent rest is advised.
- Garments will protect only the parts of the body they cover. Connections with other PPE may require appropriate sealing.
- All Type 5 testing has been conducted with face, ankles and wrists sealed with PVC tape. This may be appropriate in some applications.
- PB- Partial body protection garments will only protect parts of the body that are covered.
- Microporous TS Series passes all the tests defined in EN14126:2003 for protection against infective agents. We recommend that the Chemical Workwear range should be used for any hazardous biological protection as it features fully sealed seams.
- Uncontaminated garments can be disposed of to landfill or incineration with out harmful effects. Contaminated garments must be disposed of appropriately according to the requirements of the contamination.
- Whilst meeting the FR requirements of EN 14116, the standard is primarily for flame protective garments, in which case the standard requires that the fabric should NOT come into contact with skin. However RSG FR range garments are not intended
to protect against flame but rather to wear over other flame protective garments to provide liquid / dust protection AND improve thermal protection. The requirements of EN 1149 however require that the garment should come into contact with the
skin at the wrists or face for the Earthing of any static charge through the body. This is contrary to the strict requirements of EN14116. We therefore suggest the user determines the requirements and whether Earthing by contact through skin is
appropriate given the flame protective requirements - Not suitable for use in extremely low temperatures (sub zero) or temperatures higher than 100 degrees.
– Electrostatic Properties EN1149-5:2018
Fabrics are treated to meet the requirements of EN 1149-1:2006 & EN 1149-5:20
8. EN 1149 is stated in ATEX and German
regulation TRBS 2153 (replacement for BGR 132) as the best determination of suitability for protective clothing in electrostatic dissipative protective clothing is intended to be worn in explosive/oxygen enriched or Zone 0 atmospheres. A risk assessment should
be conducted by qualified personnel. In addition, in any explosive atmosphere: – see EN 60079-10-1 and EN 60079-10-2) in which the minimum ignition energy of any explosive atmosphere is not less than 0,016 mJ;
- Garments should be worn correctly, fully closed and contact with the skin maintained directly or through other anti-static PPE to allow charge dissipation.
- The garment should fully cover any non-dissipative clothing during normal use including when bending and moving.
- The wearer should be properly earthed. Do not adjust or remove in use, clothing shall be worn in such a way that it permanently covers all non-complying materials during normal use (including bending movements). Any footwear or materials between the garment fabric and the floor should have a resistance lower than 2.5 x108 Ohms to allow charge dissipation.
- Anti-static treatments may fade and may be affected by wear, tear and laundering. Do not re-use.
- Anti-static testing is conducted in relative humidity of 25% +/- 5%. At lower humidity dissipative properties may be lower. The garment passes the requirement Ljmn, 82/90 ≤30% and Ls, 8/10 ≤15%.”
-Resistance to permeation by chemicals
The Chemical Workwear range, Multi-Use Chemical Workwear FR been tested to EN 369 or EN 374-3 to indicate resistance to chemicals. Tests on the fabric and seams have been conducted. Note that breakthrough times on seams may be lower than
on the fabric. Other chemicals have been tested. Please refer to your supplier for further information.
