The Bizflame Rain+ Hi-Vis Arc Flash Trousers are multi-norm rain trousers specifically designed for professionals working in high-risk environments where protection against flames, water, and static electricity is required. These robust trousers provide a reliable barrier against various workplace hazards. Thanks to the combination of flame-retardant properties and high visibility, this garment ensures you remain optimally protected and clearly visible during your daily duties in harsh conditions.
For which specific tasks and sectors are these multi-norm rain trousers best suited?
These multi-norm rain trousers are ideally suited for heavy industrial sectors such as the petrochemical industry, the energy sector, and offshore. Because the garment is certified for ATEX environments, it can be safely worn in locations with an increased risk of explosion.
In addition, the model offers excellent protection during work near open flames, welding spatters, and extreme heat sources. The trousers effectively protect the wearer against radiant, convective, and contact heat, while the waterproof properties ensure you can continue working dry and comfortably even in pouring rain.
What do the EN 343 and EN 61482 standards mean for these flame-retardant trousers?
The EN 343 class 4:1 standard indicates that these flame-retardant trousers offer the highest class of waterproofing , while the breathability provides basic protection against precipitation. The seams are fully taped to prevent leakage.
The EN 61482-2 standard, with an APC 2 and ELIM value of 25 cal/cm², means that the trousers offer protection against the thermal hazards of an electric arc. This is crucial for electricians and technicians working on live installations, where a sudden arc flash can cause serious burns.
The fully elastic waistband ensures a comfortable fit, while the handy ankle zips significantly simplify putting them on and taking them off over boots.
