CAT’ARC PROTECTIVE GARMENTS
Declaration of compliance
The company: CATU SA
DECLARES
That the PPE III cat. described below:
protective garment model AFG-1 and AFG-2
has been manufactured to comply with the provisions of the Regulation (EU)
2016/425, in compliance to EN 340:2003 and EN ISO 13688:2013 for
basic use (Protective Clothing. General Requirements), to EN ISO
11612:2015 (Heat and flame protective wear), to EN ISO 11611:2015
(Protective wear for welding and other technical joint forming processes),
to EN 1149-5:2008 (Antistatic protective wear), to IEC 61482-2:2009
(Protection against heat hazard of an arc flash), and are identical to the
PPE covered in EC certificate no for AGF- 1 Coverall nº: 18/0577/00/0161,
for AGF- 2 Suit nº 18/0578/00/0161, ISSUED by AITEX, Plaza Emilio Sala
nº 1, Alcoy, Spain, Notified Body 0161.
The PPE is manufactured with the following materials: Woven fabric
–
composition: 80 % Cotton, 19% Polyester and 1% antistatic fiber with an
approximate weight of 300 g/m2.
This product is subject to the procedure set out in Annex VIII
– Module D
from PPE Regulation 2016 /425) under the supervision of the notified body

Designed for use in industrial activities where the wearer is exposed to:
▪
Brief contact with an open flame.
▪
Convected heat of less than 80 kW/m2.
▪
Sources of radiant heat of less than 20 kW/m².
▪
Contact with splashes of molten iron.
▪
Contact with hot surfaces of 250ºC.
The fabric avoids the flame propagation and this is not a non-combustible
material. On a repeated brief and accidental contact with flames, the fabric
can be perforated and this normal. The fabric transforms into frangible
carbon. A waste disposal can be necessary.
▪
In the event of an accidental splash of chemical or flammable liquids
on clothing covered by this International Standard while being worn,
the wearer should immediately withdraw and carefully remove the
garments, ensuring that the chemical or liquid does not come in contact
with any part of the skin. The clothing shall then be cleaned or removed
from service.
▪
In the event of a molten metal splash the user shall leave the working
place immediately and take off the garment.
▪
In the event of a molten metal splash, the garment, if worn next to the
skin, may not eliminate all risks of burn.

Splashes < 25
The garment is adapted for an exposure to small splashes of molten metal
during soldering and joining techniques and minimize the possibility of
electrical shock by short-term, accidental contact with live electrical
conductors at voltages up to approximately 100 V d. c. in normal conditions
of welding. Sweat, soiling, or other contaminants can affect the level of
protection provided against short-term accidental contact with live electric
conductors at these voltages. For certain welding operations, additional
partial protection (reinforcement or accessory) can be mandatory and will
be at least class 1.
Antistatic protective wear > in compliance with EN 1149-5:2008
Resistance to the accumulation of electrostatic charge S ≥ 0,2 and/or t50≤
4s
Wearing this anti-static garment must avoid that the garment itself causes
sparks that could be at the origin of a fire.
▪
Material and design requirements for electrostatic dissipative protective
clothing, used as part of a total earthed system, to avoid incendiary
discharges.
▪
The person wearing the electrostatic dissipative protective clothing
shall be properly earthed. The resistance between the person and the
earth shall be less than 108, e.g. by wearing adequate footwear.
▪
Electrostatic dissipative protective clothing shall permanently cover all
non-complying materials during normal use (including bending and
movements).
▪
For full-body protection, the PPE must be worn fully fastened and
accompanied by other appropriate protective gear such as clothing that
protects from the same risks as that of the PPE, as helmet with face-
screen, protective gloves and boots.
