In industrial workplaces, employees often face multiple hazards simultaneously, including fire, heat, and chemical splashes. To ensure maximum safety, some FR and IFR garments are designed to meet both EN ISO 14116 Index 3 and EN 13034 PB [6] standards. Understanding why these dual-certified garments are necessary helps companies protect their workforce effectively.
This European standard classifies flame-resistant fabrics with limited flame spread properties. Index 3 provides the highest level of protection, allowing garments to be worn directly against the skin while resisting flame, afterglow, and melting.
This standard covers chemical protective clothing for liquid chemical splash hazards. Type PB [6] garments are lightweight, splash-resistant, and suitable for industrial applications where workers may encounter hazardous liquids but do not require full chemical suits.
Certain industrial environments require protection from both fire and chemical hazards, such as:
Oil & gas facilities – exposure to flash fires and chemical spills
Petrochemical plants – handling flammable and corrosive liquids
Chemical manufacturing labs – risk of splash and flame exposure
Utilities and maintenance operations – combination of arc flash and chemical cleaning
Garments meeting both EN ISO 14116 Index 3 and EN 13034 PB [6] provide layered protection:
Flame protection from Index 3 fabrics
Splash protection from PB [6] coating or overlay
Comfortable, lightweight design suitable for long shifts
FR Garments: Treated fabrics can be certified for both standards but may require careful care to maintain protection.
IFR Garments: Inherently flame-resistant fabrics maintain dual protection throughout the entire lifespan of the garment, making them ideal for high-risk industrial environments.
