Frequently Asked Questions
What certifications does the FR606 carry?
The FR606 is certified to EN ISO 11612 (A1+A2, B1, 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 2 for arc flash, EN 13034 Type 6 for limited chemical splash, EN ISO 20471 Class 2 for high visibility, EN 343 Class 4:1 X for weather protection, and EN 342 for cold protection.
Is the FR606 arc-flash rated?
Yes. It's rated ATPV 37 cal/cm² (ELIM 32 cal/cm²) under EN 61482-1-1, and holds APC 2 under EN 61482-1-2, the higher of the two arc protection classes. Confirm this matches your site's arc flash risk assessment before use.
Can I wear the FR606 for welding?
Yes, within its rated class. The FR606 is certified to EN ISO 11611 Class 1 (A1+A2), which covers less hazardous welding situations than Class 2. Check whether your task needs the higher Class 2 rating before relying on this jacket for welding.
Is the FR606 waterproof?
It's rated Class 4:1 X under EN 343, the top water penetration resistance tier under the updated standard, paired with the lowest breathability class. It prioritises keeping wet weather out over breathability.
Does the FR606 keep you warm in cold weather?
Yes. It's also certified to EN 342 for protection against cold, with a measured thermal insulation value of 0.337 m²·K/W, in addition to its winter FR build.
Is the FR606 approved for rail (RIS) work?
The FR606 carries RIS-3279-TOM Issue 2 approval, but only in the Orange/Black colourway. The Yellow/Black option is not RIS-approved.
How should I wash and care for the FR606 to keep its FR protection?
Wash according to the garment's care label and avoid fabric softener and bleach based products, which can degrade flame resistant fibres. The FR protection is woven into the fabric itself so it won't wash out, but retire the jacket if it becomes visibly damaged or fails a wash care check.
