Flame Retardant garments are worn in hazardous environments were fire and explosion is a potential risk and hazard. It is not, generally, understood that the garment, itself, in wear, can induce an electrostatic charge sufficient to cause an incendiary discharge and explosion. Garments containing antistatic threads or fibres can eliminate the risk of an incendiary discharge generating directly from the garment. To meet CE Marking for antistatic performance,, the fabric must meet Standard EN 1149-5, and the garment itself must conform to defined parameters to meet PPE requirements. Garments certified by CE mark, with fabric meeting EN1149-5, eliminate the potential risk of an incendiary discharge and explosion generated, directly, from the garment, provided the wearer and the garment are fully grounded. In normal working conditions, it is not possible to provide full personal grounding at all times; a person standing in oil, wearing conducting boots is not fully grounded. We show video evidence of Flame Retardant PPE garments, conforming to CE Mark for Electrostatic Performance, that induce an incendiary discharge and potential explosion when the wearer or the garment is not fully grounded. We believe that garment performance in wear, in ungrounded, or partially grounded conditions should be defined by direct incendiary charge/discharge testing, in addition to Standard PPE test methods. Fabrics and garments must be constructed and designed to meet direct end-use performance relating to the elimination of the potential risk of incendiary discharge and explosion causing external damage and injury rather than relating solely to PPE(Personal Protection). The new generation of PPE - Safety Garments are designed to provide full protection against an incendiary discharge in industrial and workplace environments where it is not to fully ground the person and/or the wearer.
