This European Standard specifies material and design requirements for electrostatic dissipative protective
clothing, used as part of a total earthed system, to avoid incendiary discharges. The requirements may not be
sufficient in oxygen enriched flammable atmospheres. This European Standard is not applicable for protection
against mains voltages.
