BS EN 1149-5:2008 Protective clothing. Electrostatic properties. Material performance and design requirements

BS EN 1149-5 is part of a series of standards for test methods and requirements for electrostatic properties of protective clothing.

BS EN 1149-5 specifies material and design requirements for electrostatic dissipative protective clothing. It covers clothing used as part of a total earthed system, to avoid incendiary discharges.

The requirements may not be sufficient in oxygen enriched flammable atmospheres. This standard does not apply to protection against mains voltages.
