FLAME RESISTANT JACKETS

Flame-retardant jackets for demanding professional use

Flame-retardant jackets are designed for work environments where protection against heat, flames and arc flash hazards is required. The selection includes flame-retardant summer jackets, winter jackets and high-visibility models for professionals working in demanding and changing conditions.

A flame-retardant jacket is a practical choice for electricians, welders and general site use. In electrical work, flame protection is often not enough on its own, and arc flash protection is also required. For electricians, the jacket should meet Arc Protection Class 2 and ATPV requirements in accordance with IEC / EN 61482-2.

The range includes different materials and features for different needs. A water-repellent flame-retardant jacket is suitable for rain and outdoor work, while a cotton-rich flame-retardant jacket is a good option when comfort, breathability and flame protection are important.

From the broad selection, you can find flame-retardant jackets for summer and winter use, with or without high-visibility classification. These models are built for workplaces where reliable protection, visibility and compliance with safety standards are essential.

FLAME RESISTANT JACKETS – FAQ

What defines a flame resistant (FR) jacket?

An FR jacket self-extinguishes after flame exposure, will not melt or drip, and reduces burn risk. Look for clear labeling, an arc rating (ATPV or EBT), and compliance with relevant norms to ensure reliable protection on site.

Which standards do FR jackets typically meet?

Key norms include EN 61482-2 for arc flash, EN ISO 11612 for heat and flame, EN ISO 11611 for welding, and EN 20471 for visibility. A multinorm jacket combines multiple standards for mixed-risk environments.

What is ATPV and how do I choose the right arc rating?

ATPV indicates the arc energy a garment withstands before a 50% probability of second-degree burns. Match the rating to your calculated incident energy and total system performance when layering, so protection meets or exceeds the hazard.

Are there hi-vis and weatherproof FR jackets?

Yes. Options include FR hi-vis jackets with certified classes, FR rain jackets, and insulated FR winter jackets. Always verify that the weatherproof membrane and reflective trims keep the garment compliant after laundering.

What materials are used in FR jackets?

Common solutions are aramid or modacrylic blends for inherent FR, and FR-treated cotton for comfort. Many FR jackets combine ripstop shells, durable reinforcements, and breathable linings to balance protection and wearability.

How should I layer an FR jacket with other PPE?

Use only FR or non-melting base layers. Pair the jacket with arc-rated hoods, gloves, and trousers. Confirm the total system arc rating where arc flash risk exists, and ensure zips, cuffs, and hems can be securely fastened.

How do I wash and maintain an FR jacket?

Follow the label: wash with mild detergent, no bleach or softeners, and low heat drying. Inspect stitching, reflective tape, and closures. Remove heavily oil-soaked garments from service until professionally decontaminated.

Can FR properties wear off over time?

Inherent FR fibers last for the garment’s lifetime. Treated FR cotton retains protection when cared for correctly; harsh chemicals or excessive heat can reduce performance. Keep maintenance logs and replace worn items promptly.

What size should I choose and how should the jacket fit?

Select a comfortable fit that allows reaching and bending without exposed skin. Check sleeve and back coverage with arms overhead and while crouching. Room for a mid-layer is advisable in cold weather.

How do I troubleshoot reduced water repellency or visibility?

Clean the jacket and, if allowed, re-activate DWR with gentle heat. Replace damaged retro-reflective tape to maintain visibility class. If certification labels are unreadable, consider replacement to keep compliance auditable.

Are FR jackets suitable for welding and grinding?

Choose EN ISO 11611 certified models for welding. They resist sparks and spatter. For grinding, confirm heat and abrasion needs, add leather aprons or sleeves as required, and maintain a snug cuff closure.

Where can I find matching FR trousers and accessories?

Combine with certified FR trousers, bibs, and accessories for full-body protection. Explore our flame-resistant range under Palosuojatut vaatteet to build a consistent PPE system.

Selection tips

For electrical tasks, prioritize an FR jacket with a documented arc rating and EN 61482-2. For outdoor work, consider a water-repellent or rain-certified model. In cold seasons, an insulated FR winter jacket reduces bulk when paired with FR mid-layers. For traffic-exposed areas, choose an FR hi-vis jacket with the correct class and durable reflective tape. For repetitive kneeling and overhead work, verify ergonomic panels, reinforced shoulders, and adjustable cuffs that seal over gloves.

Keep procurement simple: standardize on a multinorm jacket for mixed-risk sites and add task-specific pieces only where needed. Maintain traceable laundry processes and periodic inspections to sustain compliance. For complementary garments and full outfits, see Palosuojatut vaatteet and align trousers, base layers, and accessories under the same standard set.
