The Chemical and Petrochemical workers are subject to many potential risks, due to their own working environment and to the different products that they use.

The extensive experience of ESTAMBRIL has been focused on solutions for thermal protection clothes, as well as possible combined needs for other types of protections, such as: rain, low temperatures, anti-static properties, repellence to liquid chemicals, etc.

All thermal protection items for workers in this field must fulfil European Directive 1989/686/CEE (PPE harmonisation) and the requirements defined in the harmonised European Standard EN ISO 11612 . Likewise, in accordance with European Directive 1989/686/CEE (ATEX), when these clothing items are to be used in potentially explosive areas, they must also fulfil the requirements for items with anti-static properties that are prescribed by Standard EN 1149-3 or any other equivalent regulation.

Depending on the rest of work conditions that are defined in the corresponding Risks Assessment, the thermal protection clothes to be worn may also have to fulfil the requirements for rain protection (in accordance with Standard EN 343 ), non-extreme low temperatures (Standard EN 14058 ), low-visibility environments (Standard EN 471 ) and protection against small chemical splashes (EN ISO 6530 ).
