Electrical workers face some of the most dangerous hazards in industrial environments. One of the most critical risks is the arc flash, a sudden release of energy that can reach temperatures hotter than the sun’s surface. To keep workers safe, arc flash coveralls designed and tested under EN 61482 standards provide reliable protection.
At DOMEX SAFETY, we specialize in manufacturing CAT 2 arc flash coveralls with ATPV ≥ 8 cal/cm², ensuring compliance and performance across industries like oil & gas, utilities, and petrochemicals.
EN 61482 is the European standard for protective clothing against arc flash hazards. It defines testing methods and classification levels for garments:
EN 61482-1-1 (Open Arc Test): Determines the garment’s arc rating (ATPV or EBT), showing how much energy the fabric can withstand before failure.
EN 61482-1-2 (Box Test): Simulates an arc in a confined box to measure the protective performance under more controlled conditions.
Passing these tests means that arc flash coveralls provide verified protection against thermal energy, flame spread, and electrical arcs.
1.Full-Body Protection – Unlike two-piece PPE, coveralls provide continuous coverage, reducing exposure at the waistline.
2.Compliance – EN 61482 certification helps companies meet European PPE regulations and international safety requirements.
3.CAT 2 Rated – Most industrial electrical work requires CAT 2 arc flash coveralls, with ATPV ≥ 8 cal/cm², offering a safe balance of protection and comfort.
4.Multi-Standard Protection – Many coveralls also meet NFPA 70E, ASTM F1506, and EN ISO 11612, ensuring flame resistance alongside arc flash protection.
Arc flash coveralls are essential in:
Power generation and distribution
Oil & gas operations
Petrochemical industries
Railway and utility maintenance
Industrial manufacturing
Workers in these environments face both electrical and thermal hazards, making arc-rated PPE a critical requirement.
