Portwest Anti-Static ESD Range
The Portwest AS11 this unisex trouser is designed for safety and comfort. Specifically designed for the electronics industry and component handling.
ESD Fabric Information
Fabrics used in the ESD range are strong and durable. Carbon fibre woven through the fabric provides superb anti static protection.
A build up of electrostatic dischange can damage sensitive electronic components or give fire risks when handling solvents and other flammable materials. These garments are perfect for in electrostatic protected areas. Conductive fibres in garments work by preventing the static charge build up by allowing it to dissapate through the conductive fibres and go to earth.

Standards
Documentation
EN1149 -5
Protective Clothing – Electrostatic Properties – Part 5
This European Standard is part of a series of standards for test methods and requirements for electrostatic properties of protective clothing. The standard specifies material and design requirements for garments used as part of a total earthed system, to avoid incendiary discharges. The requirements may not be sufficient in oxygen enriched flammable atmospheres. This standard is not applicable for protection against mains voltages.
EN 1149 consists of the following parts:
EN 1149-1: Test Method for measurement of surface resistivty.
EN 1149-2: Test Method for measurement of the electrical resistance through a material (Vertical resistance)
EN 1149-3: Test Methods for measurement of charge decay.
EN 1149-4: Garment Test (under development)
EN 1149-5: Material Performance and design requirements.
Electrostatics dissipative protective clothing shall be able to permanently cover all non-complying materials during normal use. Conductives parts (Zips, Buttons etc) are permitted provided they are cover by the outermost material when in use.
