Worker safety in industrial environments is a top priority, especially in industries exposed to heat, flames, or molten metal. In Europe, EN ISO 11612 is the recognized standard for flame-resistant (FR) workwear, making it the benchmark for reliable fire protection. For companies sourcing FR and IFR garments, understanding this standard ensures compliance and safety.
EN ISO 11612 specifies performance requirements for protective clothing made from flame-resistant materials to protect workers from:
Heat and flame exposure
Contact, radiant, or convective heat
Molten metal splashes
It applies to a wide range of industrial settings including chemical plants, oil & gas facilities, metalworking, and manufacturing.
1. Comprehensive Protection – Covers multiple heat sources and flame hazards in industrial workplaces.
2. Performance-Based Testing – Garments are tested for heat transfer, flame resistance, and material integrity.
3. Clear Classification – EN 11612 uses letters A–F to classify protection against different hazards (e.g., A = flame, C = convective heat, E = molten aluminum).
4. International Recognition – Widely accepted across Europe and recognized globally, making compliance a mark of quality and safety.
Both FR-treated fabrics and Inherently Flame-Resistant (IFR) fabrics can meet EN ISO 11612:
FR Garments: Fabrics treated with flame-retardant chemicals; cost-effective but protection can reduce over time if not properly maintained.
IFR Garments: Fabrics with permanent flame resistance; durable and suitable for long-term industrial use.
Choosing the right type depends on workplace risk, usage frequency, and durability requirements.
At DOMEX SAFETY, we manufacture EN ISO 11612 certified FR and IFR garments that provide:
Reliable flame and heat protection
Comfortable and durable industrial workwear
Multi-standard compliance, including EN ISO 11612, EN ISO 1149, NFPA 2112, and ASTM F1506
Our products include coveralls, jackets, shirts, and trousers designed for industries where fire hazards are a daily concern.
EN ISO 11612 is the European benchmark for flame protection because it combines rigorous testing, clear hazard classification, and international recognition. Choosing FR or IFR garments compliant with EN 11612 ensures workers are protected, comfortable, and compliant in hazardous industrial environments.
