The Portwest BZ13 flame-resistant jacket offers excellent protection for professionals working in high-risk environments where heat and fire are daily hazards. This robust work jacket is specifically designed for welders and other skilled workers in the metal and energy sectors. Thanks to its high-quality materials, this jacket combines reliable safety with a functional design, ensuring you remain optimally protected against various thermal risks during demanding work.
For which specific tasks is this flame-resistant jacket most suitable?
This flame-resistant jacket is ideally suited for welding tasks and related processes in the metalworking and energy sectors. Thanks to its EN ISO 11611 Class 1 certification, the jacket provides effective protection against light welding techniques and molten metal splashes.
Furthermore, the garment is designed for environments where workers are exposed to radiant, convective, and contact heat. The sew-on, flame-resistant reflective tape on the shoulders and sleeves also increases the wearer's visibility in dark or poorly lit workplaces.
What do the EN ISO 11612 and EN 61482-2 standards mean for this flame-resistant jacket?
The EN ISO 11612 standard guarantees that this flame-resistant jacket offers protection against heat and flames, with codes A through F indicating performance against specific heat sources such as contact heat and molten iron.
The EN 61482-2 standard, in combination with the tested ATPV rating of 10.9 CAL/CM², means the jacket offers protection against the thermal hazards of an electric arc. This makes the jacket a safe choice for electrical work where there is a risk of an arc flash.
For optimal comfort, the jacket features adjustable cuffs with press studs and a concealed button closure. Three convenient storage pockets, including a phone pocket, provide ample space.
