Frequently Asked Questions
What certifications does the FR528 carry?
The FR528 is independently certified (SGS FIMKO Ltd, cert 0598/PPE/26/1267) to EN ISO 11612 (A1+A2, B2, C1, F1) for heat and flame, EN ISO 11611 Class 1 (A1+A2) for welding, EN 1149-5 for antistatic protection, EN 61482-1-1 and EN 61482-1-2 APC 1 for arc flash, EN 13034 Type 6 for limited chemical splash, and EN ISO 20471 Class 3 for high visibility.
Is the FR528 arc-flash rated?
Yes, under both the European and US standards. It's rated ELIM 6.4 cal/cm² and EBT 6.8 cal/cm² under EN 61482-1-1 (APC 1 under EN 61482-1-2), and ATPV 8.4 cal/cm² (HAF 75.8%) under ASTM F1959/F1959M-12. Check this against your site's arc flash risk assessment before use.
Can I wear the FR528 for welding?
Yes, within its rated class. The FR528 is certified to EN ISO 11611 Class 1 (A1+A2), covering less hazardous welding situations than Class 2.
Is the FR528 waterproof?
No EN 343 weather rating is recorded for the FR528 in our certification data. It's built as a hazardous-environment work coverall rather than a wet-weather garment.
What high-vis class is the FR528?
It's certified to EN ISO 20471 Class 3, the highest class under that standard.
How should I wash and care for the FR528 to keep its FR protection?
Follow the care label sewn into the garment and avoid fabric softener and bleach based products, which can degrade flame resistant fibres over time. The FR protection is built into the fabric itself, so it won't wash out, but retire the coverall if it's visibly damaged or fails a wash care check.
