Protective clothing - Electrostatic properties - Part 5: Material performance and design requirements
This European Standard specifies material and design requirements for electrostatic dissipative protective clothing, including hoods and caps, used as part of a total earthed system, to avoid incendiary discharges, where the minimum ignition energy of an explosive atmosphere is not less than 0,016 mJ.
In the context of this European Standard, a total earthed system is one in which personnel and other conductors are connected to earth via a resistance of less than 108 Ω.
The material and design requirements do not presume adequate earthing of additional equipment worn or carried in contact with clothing, e.g. breathing apparatus, etc. If such additional equipment is required to be earthed, other requirements beyond the scope of this European Standard may be necessary.
The scope of this standard does not include electrostatic dissipative protective gloves or footwear that are separate and not integral parts of garments.
The material and design requirements may not provide sufficient protection in oxygen enriched flammable atmospheres.
NOTE Additional information about oxygen enriched flammable atmospheres can be found in CEN/CLC/TR 16832:2015 [1].
This European Standard is not applicable for protection against mains voltages.
Schutzkleidung - Elektrostatische Eigenschaften - Teil 5: Leistungsanforderungen an Material und Konstruktionsanforderungen
Diese Europäische Norm legt Anforderungen an Materialien und Konstruktion für elektrostatisch ableitfähige Schutzkleidung, einschließlich Hauben und Kappen, die Bestandteil eines vollständig geerdeten Systems zur Vermeidung von zündfähigen Entladungen ist, fest, wo die Mindestzündenergie einer explosionsfähigen Atmosphäre nicht weniger als 0,016 mJ beträgt.
Im Rahmen dieser Europäischen Norm ist ein vollständig geerdetes System definiert als ein System, in dem Personal und andere Leiter über einen Widerstand von weniger als 108 Ω mit der Erde verbunden sind.
Die Anforderungen an Materialien und Konstruktion ergeben nicht zwangsläufig eine angemessene Erdung zusätzlich getragener oder in Kontakt mit der Kleidung stehender Ausrüstung, wie z. B. Atemschutzgeräte. Falls zusätzliche Ausrüstung geerdet werden muss, können unter Umständen weitere Anforderungen außerhalb des Anwendungsbereichs dieser Europäischen Norm erforderlich sein.
Der Anwendungsbereich dieser Norm beinhaltet keine elektrostatisch ableitfähige Schutzhandschuhe oder elektrostatisch ableitfähiges Schuhwerk, welche separate und nicht integrale Bestandteile der Kleidung sind.
In brennbaren Atmosphären, die mit Sauerstoff angereichert sind, ist es möglich, dass die Anforderungen an Materialien und Konstruktion keinen ausreichenden Schutz bieten.
ANMERKUNG Zusätzliche Informationen zu brennbaren Atmosphären, die mit Sauerstoff angereichert sind, können in CEN/CLC/TR 16832:2015 [1] gefunden werden.
Diese Europäische Norm gilt nicht für den Schutz vor Netzspannungen.
Vêtements de protection - Propriétés électrostatiques - Partie 5 : Exigences de performance des matériaux et de conception
La présente Norme européenne spécifie des exigences relatives à la conception et aux matériaux des vêtements de protection de dissipation de charge électrostatique, y compris les capuches et les casquettes, utilisés en tant que partie d'un système complet relié à la terre, pour éviter les décharges incendiaires, lorsque l'énergie minimale d'inflammation d'une atmosphère explosive n'est pas
inférieure à 0,016 mJ.
Dans le contexte de la présente Norme européenne, un système complet relié à la terre est un système dans lequel les personnes et autres conducteurs sont reliés à la terre via une résistance de moins de 108 Ω.
Les exigences qui s'appliquent aux matériaux et à la conception n'impliquent pas que la mise à la terre d'équipements additionnels portés sur les vêtements ou mis en contact avec eux (appareil respiratoire, par exemple) serait adéquate. S'il s'avérait nécessaire de mettre à la terre ce type d'équipement additionnel, il y aurait lieu d'appliquer d'autres exigences, ne relevant pas du domaine d'application de la présente Norme européenne.
Le domaine d'application de la présente norme n'inclut pas les chaussures ni les gants de sécurité de dissipation de charge électrostatique qui sont des éléments distincts ne faisant pas partie intégrante des vêtements.
Il se peut que les exigences relatives aux matériaux et à la conception n'assurent pas une protection suffisante dans les atmosphères inflammables enrichies en oxygène.
NOTE Des informations complémentaires sur les atmosphères inflammables enrichies en oxygène peuvent être consultées dans le CEN/CLC/TR 16832:2015 [1].
La présente Norme européenne n'est pas applicable à la protection contre les risques liés aux différentes tensions électriques.

Overview
EN 1149-5:2018 (CEN) - "Protective clothing - Electrostatic properties - Part 5: Material performance and design requirements" sets the material and design requirements for electrostatic dissipative protective clothing used as part of a total earthed system. It aims to reduce the risk of incendiary electrostatic discharges in atmospheres where the minimum ignition energy is ≥ 0.016 mJ. The standard complements test-method parts of the EN 1149 series and is intended for garments (including hoods and caps), not for separate gloves or footwear.
Key topics and technical requirements
- Scope limits
- Applies when personnel and conductors are earthed via resistance < 10^8 Ω (total earthed system).
- Not intended for protection against mains voltages or for oxygen-enriched atmospheres (see CEN/CLC/TR 16832).
- Excludes separate electrostatic-dissipative gloves and footwear.
- Material performance (choose at least one)
- Half decay time (t50) geometric mean < 4 s (EN 1149-3 test method 2, induction charging).
- Shielding factor S (arithmetic mean) > 0.2 (EN 1149-3 test method 2).
- Surface resistance (geometric mean) ≤ 2.5 × 10^9 Ω on at least one surface (EN 1149-1).
- Design requirements
- Dissipative materials must permanently cover non-compliant materials during normal movement.
- If composite outer layers: either all layers meet material requirements or the composite surface must meet them; non-dissipative outer layers combined thickness ≤ 2 mm.
- Attachments (labels, reflective strips): width ≤ 50 mm (no length limit); if wider, max area 10 000 mm²; combined thickness limits apply.
- Exposed conductive parts are permitted only if covered by dissipative material or have capacitance < 3 pF (EN 60079-32-2 measurement).
- Hoods with exposed non-dissipative material must be removable/stowable within the garment.
- Maintenance and testing
- Materials/garments must be tested after cleaning in accordance with manufacturer instructions; if unspecified, test after five wash/dry cycles.
- Marking & information
- Must follow EN ISO 13688 marking plus electrostatic protection symbols and manufacturer warnings (e.g., wearer must be earthed, not to open/remove garment in explosive atmospheres, intended Zones 1/2/20/21/22).
Applications - who uses EN 1149-5:2018
- PPE designers and manufacturers of electrostatic dissipative garments (coveralls, hoods, caps)
- Safety engineers, procurement and compliance teams specifying PPE for hazardous environments
- Testing laboratories verifying electrostatic performance and design compliance
- Industries working with flammable/explosive atmospheres (petrochemical, chemical, pharmaceutical, grain handling, electronics assembly) where ignition energies are above 0.016 mJ
