Arc Flash Navy Coverall 9.5cal/Cm2

The ProGARM 6100 Arc Flash Coverall (9.5 cal/cm²) provides certified arc flash and flame-resistant protection in a lightweight design suitable for demanding industrial settings.

Made from ProGARM’s VXS+ woven fabric (250gsm), this coverall offers reliable protection against arc flash thermal hazards, heat, and flame while ensuring breathability and comfort throughout the day. It is certified to ARC 2 with an EBT50 rating of 9.5 cal/cm² and Box Test Class 1, making it suitable for environments where a risk assessment indicates that lower-level arc flash protection is necessary.

The coverall features practical features such as reflective tape, an action back design, stretch side panels, and multiple secure storage pockets. These elements support safe and efficient work in the electrical, petrochemical, rail, and utilities sectors.

For safety managers, this coverall meets CE-certified compliance with recognised EN and IEC standards. For engineers and technicians, it delivers durability, flexibility, and useful features without sacrificing protection.

The protection level must always be determined through documented safe systems of work.

Standards & Compliance Explained

This garment is certified to recognised arc flash and flame protection standards:

• Open Arc (EBT50 9.5 cal/cm² – ARC 2) confirms performance under incident energy exposure.

• Box Test 4kA – Class 1 confirms protection under controlled arc conditions.

• IEC 61482 ensures compliance with arc flash clothing requirements.

• EN 1149 confirms antistatic properties suitable for controlled industrial environments.

The LOI of 30.6% demonstrates the fabric’s resistance to combustion, supporting reliable flame resistance performance.

When specified following formal risk assessment, this coverall supports employer duty-of-care obligations and recognised UK electrical safety expectations.

Protection Design & System Integration

This coverall is designed as part of a coordinated arc flash PPE system and should be worn with:

• Arc-rated gloves (insulating where required)

• Arc-rated face and head protection

• Suitable safety footwear

The mandarin collar provides enhanced neck coverage, while adjustable cuffs and waistband ensure a secure fit, helping reduce exposure gaps.

Safe isolation and structured Lockout Tagout procedures must always be prioritised wherever practicable.
