TRANEMO LADIES 2024
We develop and supply advanced workwear. Through expertise and innovation we create safer workplaces in a sustainable way.
SUSTAINABILITY
Since our establishment in 1934, quality and sustainability has always been of high importance and central in our way of working. For three generations, we have made it our responsibility to manufacture and develop long lasting products. With the support of science and new technology we make sure that we keep on being at the forefront of development of flame-retardant products with the least environmental impact as possible.
The textile industry is like a lot of other industries, facing different challenges to rethink the way of working to be more sustainable. The need for change in the textile industry also applies to us producing workwear. We are already working with high quality components to produce longer lasting products, but we also need to take the next steps towards in the direction towards becoming an even more sustainable company - socially, economically, and environmentally.
SUSTAINABLE CHOICES
Tranemo takes responsibility for the way our company affects people, animals and the environment. A focus area of great important for us is that we are actively working to stop using Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in our products to minimise the use of chemicals. We have chosen to phase out PFAS in the cases where we see that a repellence of oils and oil-based chemicals is not directly necessary on the garments.
For people and the environment Tranemo recommends choosing PFAS-free products where there are available alternatives. We are constantly working to expand our PFAS-free range. More information about our work with PFAS can be found on our website.
As important as it is for us to continue with the development of new and exciting products, it is just as important to improve and switch to more sustainable alternatives in our existing materials. For example, we do this by using recycled fibres and more sustainable cotton.
It is of significant importance that the more sustainably produced alternatives we offer are of equally high quality. Tranemo will never compromise on quality, because producing long lasting garments are the best way to minimise the environmental impact. By designing garments that are easy to repair, we extend the lifetime further.
We want to do the right thing from the beginning. For us, it is about finding a good balance between the right protection, design, and the most suitable materials of high quality during the development stage.

KARIN FJELDSTAD JUSNES - PROCESS ENGINEER
FINNFJORD AS, NORWAY
As a process engineer with ferrosilicon producer Finnfjord, Karin Fjeldstad Jusnes works in an environment where flame retardant workwear is essential.
Each day she checks that the metal they produce meets the desired quality and that raw materials meet process requirements. Karin is involved in many projects and processes at the company, as well as managing the laboratory and working with the process team to ensure the furnaces all operate efficiently and safely.
Karin has a doctorate in materials science, specialising in quartz and its high-temperature properties, and also has a good general knowledge of metal processing, chemistry and physics. Finnfjord is one of the world’s most energy-efficient producers of ferrosilicon, of which quartz is a major source, so Karin’s academic expertise is put to good use. It is vital to the process to understand how quartz behaves at high temperatures and why different types of quartz behave differently.
“The best part of my job is that it is so varied! There are many challenges and no day is the same, which I love,” says Karin.
The biggest challenge for Finnfjord in the long term is to produce ferrosilicon as sustainably as possible and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Karin contributes to internal improvement projects and larger research projects that aim to increase production using fewer resources, and thus reduce emissions.
The safety of employees is a high priority at Finnfjord and opportunities to improve safety are discussed every day. Workwear plays a big part in these safety efforts. Karin believes the most important thing is that workwear should protect users from hazards and be comfortable to work in. Not being able to move freely can be very frustrating, so clothing that can stretch is very important.
“Having workwear that is comfortable is a necessity, as we wear it all day,” adds Karin.
Historically, the smelting industry has always been male-dominated, but more and more women are coming into the industry, which also means greater demands for workwear that fits well.
“I really appreciate that there are workwear collections for women! Feeling comfortable in your work clothing is incredibly important and I really like my Tranemo workwear,” concludes Karin.
“THE BEST PART OF MY JOB IS THAT IT IS SO VARIED! THERE ARE MANY CHALLENGES AND NO DAY IS THE SAME, WHICH I LOVE.”

“IT’S GREAT TO SEE MORE WOMEN JOINING US AT EVERY LEVEL, FROM TECHNICIANS TO MANAGERS AND SPECIALISTS.”
Emma Björk, Infranord AB
EMMA BJÖRK - COMMERCIAL MANAGER
INFRANORD AB, SWEDEN
After more than 10 years as a site manager for Infranord there is little Emma does not know about the company, but she still feels she learns something new every day. Today, she works as commercial manager and is very aware of safety and how important it is to Infranord.
Infranord aims to have the highest safety standards in the industry. It is essential that every employee has the right personal protective equipment so that they can work safely. In the case of safety workwear it is important that every layer is flame retardant – from underwear to outer garments. The clothing must be comfortable to work in and give technicians the best features to carry out their work.
One aspect that Infranord prioritises is that there should be workwear to fit all sizes – for men and women.
“Our technicians have warmly welcomed the new stretch trousers as they make the clothing even more comfortable and make their work easier,” says Emma.
In today’s labour market, more and more women are applying for jobs in work places that were previously male-dominated. This trend is also reflected at Infranord.
“The construction industry is an exciting field where there is always something happening, and it’s rewarding to be involved in it and contribute to society. It’s great to see more women joining us at every level, from technicians to managers and specialists,” says Emma.
To support this trend and provide better opportunities for women in the industry, Tranemo has taken a big step by creating flame retardant clothing for women and in recent years has invested heavily in adapting workwear for different needs, which is appreciated by customers.
“Clothing should not be a limiting factor for working with us, so it is really important that workwear is also tailored for women,” concludes Emma.
FLAME RETARDANT WORKWEAR
Tranemo are a leading European supplier of Inherent Flame Retardant and Arc Flash workwear.
With our extensive experience in developing innovative and functional workwear, we strive towards zero flame and heat related injuries.
All for a safer workplace. Since 1934.
Each company is responsible for making their own Risk Assessment and providing their workers with the correct protection for workplace related hazards.
When customers come to us with their Risk Assessments and specific requirements, we strive to find the right solution for them. Tranemo tries to make sure that the solution is functional, practical, comfortable and offers the workers the correct levels of protection. We can develop functionality and protection according to each case, very often going far beyond just fulfilling the standards.
In order to establish a clear connection between working environments with varying levels of risk and our large range of Flame Retardant clothing, we have divided the collections into five different segments with an associated symbol. The new symbols, each representing an industry sector, will help you easily find the right protective clothing.
The following five segments show the industry sector and the associated risk analysis. The same segment also shows the ranges Tranemo recommends for each particular industry sector.

ELECTRICITY & POWER
• Electric Arc
- Molten metal splashes
- Radiant heat
- Convective heat
- Electric shock
- Shock waves
- High noise levels
- Optical radiation
- Toxic gas
• Flame & Heat
• Welding sparks (limited)
Workers in the Electricity and Power industry are at risk of exposure to Electric Arc flashes that can occur if there is a short circuit, switching fault, operator error or equipment failure. Electric Arc can expose workers to very high energy levels and often lead to severe burns and hand and eye injuries. Wearing incorrect workwear can make injuries worse, so it is important to choose the right protective clothing that provides arc protection in every layer. It is equally important to choose face protection and gloves that are certified to protect against Electric Arc.
All of Tranemo’s Electric Arc garments have the Arc Rating value stated on the outside FR label to make it easy for you to choose the right protection. In the revised standard EN 61482-2, ELIM is used as the Arc Rating value. As additional information, the ATPV/EBT value is also stated and refers to the Risk Assessment standard NFPA 70E. All new Tranemo products will be tested according to EN 61482-2 and marked with both the ELIM and ATPV/EBT values.
RISK EVALUATION
When working as an electrician you need garments certified according to EN 61482-2 / IEC 614822 in combination with EN ISO 11612 as there may be a risk of an Electric Arc. Electricians working outdoors may also need High Visibility garments certified to EN ISO 20471.
An Electric Arc accident comprises of many varied risks that will affect the PPE clothing in different ways, but with the right solution we can help to minimise the impact of these risks. A Tranemo Skinsafe™ system where the outer layer has an ELIM value above 8 cal/cm², PPE 2 (according to NFPA 70E) is recommended.
The switchgear range ‘Switch’ is designed for work where there is a risk of being exposed to Electric Arc with a very high energy level - for example in switchgear environments, when cutting off power or commissioning electrical systems. Garments in the ‘Switch’ range offer protection of 40 cal/cm² (PPE4).
ELECTRIC CAR INDUSTRY
RISK EVALUATION
When working in the electric car industry, Tranemo recommends garments certified according to standard EN ISO 11612 and EN 61482-2 / IEC 61482-2. When working with car batteries and defective batteries there is a risk of an Electric Arc. With the right solution of clothing marked EN 61482-2 / IEC 61482-2, the impact of these risks will be minimised. A Tranemo Skinsafe™ system with an outer layer that has an ELIM value above 8 cal/cm², PPE 2 (according to NFPA 70E) is recommended.
When the power to the car is cut off and / or switched on, high spikes in current are created and there is a risk of being exposed to Electric Arc with very high energy levels. The Switch range is developed for these risks and offers protection to an energy level of 40 cal/cm² (PPE 4, according to NFPA 70E).
For occasional welding, the fabric also needs to pass EN ISO 11611 or use welding accessories to offer further protection. The range Tera TX with visible details is suited for car industries because it is approved for the above certifications and is Non-Metal/scratch free.
SMELTERS & FOUNDRIES
Flame Retardant clothing that offers the highest level of protection against splashes of molten metal and radiant heat. The ranges are the ideal solutions for those working in smelting plants, foundries or with molten minerals such as stone or glass.
Remember that it is important to choose the right collection, depending on the metal or mineral that you are working with. We have collections for working with molten iron, steel, copper, aluminium, brass, zinc, lead and molten minerals. The range also includes protective clothing for summer and winter use, high visibility clothing and a large range of workwear options for ladies. Our protective clothing is certified against splashes of molten metal and radiant heat in accordance with EN ISO 11612. To block radiant heat and increase protection, a Tranemo Skinsafe™ system of 2 or 3 layers is recommended.
The recommended collections may include protective clothing that lacks certain certifications due to the design of the garment, such as garments with hanging pockets. Contact us if you have any questions or need assistance with choosing the right protective clothing for your work. We will help you find the right solution.
RISK ASSESSMENT
SMELTERS & FOUNDRIES
The working environment in smelting plants and foundries often involves high temperatures, intense radiant heat and the risk of splashing molten metal splashes. To meet these risks, several layers of PPE clothing are usually needed. To avoid injuries, Flame Retardant clothing that meets EN ISO 11612 is required, and depending on the type of metal used, protective clothing must also be certified with the correct code letter.
• Splashes of molten metal
• Flame & Heat
• Heat stress
• Electric Arc (limited)
• Traffic accidents (limited)
RISK EVALUATION
Molten metal sticking to a garment can cause burns. To minimise this risk, the EN ISO 11612 D and E defines some design requirements, such as closed pockets and hidden metal parts due to the fact that metal will conduct heat. Heat stress is also a risk in these environments. To block the radiant heat and increase protection, a Tranemo Skinsafe™ system of 2 or 3 layers is recommended. The air gap between the layers protects the wearer from heat and energy. Many of the Tranemo garments also include some kind of visibility to avoid traffic related accidents.
Iron and steel
When working with molten iron or steel, you need garments certified according to EN ISO 11612 E1-E3 - where E3 is the highest level. If the fabric resists molten iron and this doesn’t stick to the surface, it will normally also be acceptable for use against molten copper, molten phosphor bronze and molten brass.
Aluminium
For smelters and re-smelters working with molten aluminium, you need garments according to EN ISO 11612 D1-D3 - where D3 is the highest level. If the fabric resists molten aluminium and this doesn’t stick to the surface it normally means it will be acceptable for use against molten aluminium and other molten metals.
Zinc
Zinc challenges PPE clothing in a very special way as it sticks to most fabrics. Tranemo Apex range has an outer layer in Aramid, with a high degradation temperature that will not break open - even if the zinc sticks to the fabric. To block the radiant heat and increase protection, Apex also features double layer fabric on the front of the jacket and trousers. When working with molten zinc, you need garments certified at least according to EN ISO 11612, made in a fabric that has higher degradation temperature of more than 420°C (melting point of zinc).
Other metals
Other metals and alloys have different melting temperatures, viscosity and production processes that will challenge the PPE / clothing in different ways.
If you are working with other molten metals, please ask Tranemo for advice in finding the correct solution for your business.
Flame Retardant welding garments that offer the highest level of protection against welding spatter and sparks from grinding or cutting metal. Our protective clothing is ideal if your work involves welding, grinding, hot working, finishing metal castings or maintenance.
Remember to choose welding garments that provide the right level of protectionEN ISO 11611 class 1 for light welding work or class 2 for heavy duty welding. The protection you need may also depend on the welding methods used, welding frequency or type of grinding work. The Outback HW collection also includes extra welding protection, such as welding aprons, protective sleeves and welding balaclavas. The welding range includes protective clothing for summer and winter use, high visibility clothing, workwear for ladies and reinforced garments. Our welding garments are certified for welding according to EN ISO 11611.
The recommended collections may include protective clothing that lacks certain certifications due to the design of the garment, such as garments with hanging pockets. Contact us if you have any questions or need assistance with choosing the right protective clothing for your work. We will help you find the right solution.
RISK ASSESSMENT
WELDING
A welder who is constantly exposed to weld spatter needs durable protective clothing that does not trap weld spatter, either in the fabric itself, or in pockets. The heat and UV radiation that the welder is exposed to are also dangerous, and we recommend the use of a Tranemo Skinsafe system with a ventilated welding garment.
• Welding sparks
• UV radiation
• Flame & Heat
• Heat stress
RISK EVALUATION
When working with heavy welding you need garments certified according to EN ISO 11611 class 2, which is the highest level of protection in combination with EN ISO 11612. The design is very restricted in the EN standard to ensure that welding sparks do not stick to the garment or go inside an open pocket.
The UV and heat radiation will challenge the PPE clothing and cause heat stress for the wearer. Tranemo has added covered ventilations to increase the users comfort and avoid heat stress on some ranges suitable for welding. To block radiant heat and increase protection, a Tranemo Skinsafe™ system of 2 or 3 layers is recommended.
Sparks from grinding and cutting can have a negative impact on the fabric. Tranemo always carry out an internal cutting test on our Flame Retardant fabrics in order to be able to recommend the best garment for grinding/cutting.

RAILWAYS
Flame Retardant workwear that provides protection from Electric Arc incidents and sparks from working with metal. Our protective clothing is ideal if you work near rail tracks, on the rails themselves or in other rail associated areas where there is a flame, heat or Electric Arc risk.
The range includes protective clothing for summer and winter use, high visibility clothing in orange, workwear for ladies and reinforced garments for cutting rails. Tranemo’s multilayer Skinsafe™ system provides protection against Electric Arc that is greater than the sum of the individual layers, without compromising on comfort. Our protective clothing provides certified arc protection in accordance with EN 61482-2.
Contact us if you have any questions or need assistance with choosing the right protective clothing for your work. We will help you find the right solution.
RISK ASSESSMENT
RAILWAYS
Working on railways and in other rail-bound traffic is covered by strict safety regulations due to the hazardous working environment. Whether you are a rail technician, electrical installer, signal engineer or track welder, you must use the right personal protective equipment to suit the relevant risk analysis and safety instructions. It is important that you can be seen when working on rail tracks, and high visibility protective clothing can prevent accidents where there is a risk with passing trains and vehicles.
To achieve a high level of safety in the workplace, it is important to wear Flame Retardant and Arc certified protective clothing that provides high visibility in compliance with EN ISO 11612, EN 61482-2 and EN ISO 20471 (plus RIS-3279-TOM in the UK).
• Traffic accidents with trains
• Electric Arc
- Molten Metal splashes
- Radiant heat
- Convective heat
- Electric shock
- Shock waves
- High noise
- Optical radiation
- Toxic gas
• Flame & Heat
• Welding sparks (limited)
• Sparks from grinding and cutting (limited)
RISK EVALUATION
When working in the railway industry you need garments certified according to EN ISO 20471 / RIS-3279-TOM (GO/RT) to be visible. In addition, FR protection garments should be certified to EN ISO 11612 together with EN 61482-2 / IEC 61482-2 if there is a risk of an Electric Arc. An Electric Arc accident comprises many varied risks and will affect the PPE clothing in different ways, but with the right solution of clothing the impact of these risks will be minimised.
A Tranemo Skinsafe™ system with an outer layer that has an ELIM value above 8 cal/cm², PPE 2 (according to NFPA 70E) is recommended. All our Electric Arc garments have the Arc Rating value stated on the outside FR label to make it easy for you to choose the right protection.
In addition, if you are working with welding you need EN ISO 11611 certified garments or accessories to compliment your protection. In the UK you also need garments certified according to the national standard RIS-3279-TOM (GO/RT), defining the High-Visibility orange colour and the design on the Edge garments, according to this standard the garments must be at least EN ISO 20471 class 2.
Sparks from grinding and cutting can have a negative impact on the fabric. Tranemo always carry out an internal cutting test on our Flame Retardant fabrics in order to be able to recommend the best garment for grinding/cutting.
CHEMICAL & PETROCHEMICAL
Flame Retardant and Anti-Static workwear that provides protection from chemical splashes that can occur when working in explosive environments. Our chemical clothing is also ideal if you work with particular chemicals in environments where there is a risk of dust or gas explosion.
Remember that it is important to choose the right collection based on the chemicals you work with. The range includes protective clothing for summer and winter use, high visibility clothing and a large range of workwear for ladies. Our protective clothing is certified against splashes of chemicals in accordance with EN 13034 type PB (6) and static electricity in accordance with EN 1149-5.
Tranemo has developed several fabrics featuring a PFAS-free finish (C0) that meets the requirements of EN 13034. A fluorocarbon free (PFAS-free) finish does not contain any fluorine atoms which is very difficult for nature to break down. This makes a PFAS-free product a better and more environmentally friendly choice.
The recommended ranges may include protective clothing that lacks certain certifications due to the design of the garment, such as garments with hanging pockets. Contact us if you have any questions or need assistance with choosing the right protective clothing for your work. We will help you find the right solution.
RISK ASSESSMENT
CHEMICAL & PETROCHEMICAL
Work that involves chemicals/petrochemicals often requires protective clothing that is certified to EN 13034, EN 1149-5 and EN ISO 11612. It is also important to identify which chemicals the company uses, so that protective clothing can be chosen that is appropriate for the specific chemicals or group of chemicals that are in use.
• Splashes of chemicals
• Risk of explosion / ATEX-environment
• Heat & Flame
• Traffic accidents (limited)
• Electric Arc (Industrial Electricians)
RISK EVALUATION
When working within the petrochemical industry, Tranemo recommends garments certified according to EN 13034, EN 1149-5 and EN ISO 11612. The Anti-Static properties of a garment minimise the risk of creating sparks (a source of ignition), which could cause an explosion. In case of a risk of an Electric Arc, you also need garments certified according to EN 61482-2/IEC 61482-2. High Visibility (EN ISO 20471) may be required, if there is a risk from moving vehicles or where visibility of employees is important.
Most of the Tranemo FR fabrics are EN 13034 certified and have a treatment that protects against chemicals in spray form. Garments that are suitable and have an approved design have the EN 13034 symbol in the CE-marking. It is important to choose the right fabric that passes the risk of the chemical group that is used within a business. These garments need to go through industrial laundry to re-activate and reimpregnate the EN 13034 finish. This applies to fabrics with or without PFAS.
A MORE ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY CHOICE
If your company does not need protection against O-xylene or Butanol you can choose a fabric with a PFAS free finish. Tranemo’s PFAS-free finish passes EN 13034 for acid and alkaline.
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are a diverse group of synthetic chemicals used in a wide range of consumer and industrial products. PFAS is used for its good resistance to grease, oil, water and heat, but is a poor environmental choice.
Tranemo works hard on phasing out PFAS where it is not necessary, developing new ranges with PFAS-free finishes. We also see the need for a strict chemicals legislation to minimise and eventually end the use of PFAS. In 2021 we joined the Chemsec’s Corporate PFAS Movement - ”No to PFAS” to influence the way chemicals legislations are implemented in practice.
A PFAS-free finish does not contain any fluorine atoms which is very difficult for nature to break down. This makes a PFAS-free product a better and more environmentally friendly choice.
RISK ASSESSMENT
ATEX - EXPLOSIVE INDUSTRY
In situations where there is a risk that protective garments could generate sparks (an ignition source) that could ignite explosive material, Flame Retardant workwear that has anti-static properties is required. A combination of anti-static materials and correct garment design can eliminate the risk of sparks. Protective clothing with anti-static properties is extremely important when working with petrochemicals, gas and in other areas where there is a high risk of explosion.
• Risk of explosion
• Flame & Heat
RISK EVALUATION
When working in ATEX environments, Tranemo recommends garments certified according to standard EN 1149-5 in combination with EN ISO 11612. The Anti-Static properties of a garment minimise the risk of creating sparks (a source of ignition) which could cause an explosion. This is of significant importance when working in explosive areas e.g. petrochemicals, gas and other explosive industries.
The majority of our FR garments are EN 1149-5 certified. Anti-Static garments marked EN 1149-5 are intended to be worn in ATEX zones 1, 2, 20, 21 and 22. In oxygen enriched atmospheres or in zone 0, the Anti-Static garments should not be used without first being approved by a qualified Safety Engineer. Wear and tear can affect the protection of the garment, and it is crucial that they are worn the correct way within these environments.
Anti-Static garments have Anti-Static fibres woven into the fabric and the metal parts are covered according to the EN design requirements. The range Tera TX is especially suited for ATEX environments.
Atex zone classifications for gas, mist and vapours
Zone 0 Environment where a mixture of air and flammable gas, mist or vapour occurs often and persists for long periods of time.
Zone 1 Environment where a mixture of air and flammable gas, mist or vapour is likely to occur under normal conditions.
Zone 2 Environment where a mixture of air and flammable gas, mist or vapour can occur under normal conditions but dilutes quickly.
Atex zone classifications for dust
Zone 20 Environment where explosive clouds of dust appear often and for extended periods.
Zone 21 Environment where explosive clouds of dust can appear under normal conditions.
Zone 22 Environment where explosive clouds of dust are not likely to appear and if they do, disappears quickly.
RISK ASSESSMENT
TRAFFIC
It is very important to be seen when you work in situations where there is vehicle traffic and a garment that is certified to EN ISO 20471 is recommended. The fluorescent fabric ensures that you are seen during the day, whilst reflective stripes ensure you are visible in poor light or when it is dark.
• Traffic Accidents
• Need for day and night visibility
RISK EVALUATION
If you are working near moving vehicles or mobile machinery (e.g. forklifts) and you have a potential risk of impact from vehicles or machinery, then you need to wear appropriate High Visibility clothing. Since this is one of the most common workplace accidents, at Tranemo we include High Visibility detail in most of the outdoor garments that we design.
The demands in the standard sets the rules for which design, functionality and fabric qualities should be used in a High Visibility collection. Yellow and Orange High Visibility colours offer the user greater flexibility and make it possible for users to have designated HV colours in the workplace – for example, to differentiate between workers in different locations or areas.
To achieve High Visibility certification, the garment needs a certain area of fluorescent fabric and reflective tape. The higher the area, the higher the high visibility class the garment will achieve, with Class 3 being the highest.
Tranemo only uses Inherent Flame Retardant fibres of the highest quality. This means you get permanent flame protection as long as the garment lasts.
Tranemo does not believe in a multi-norm concept - that one garment would be enough for all risks and industries. Instead we develop unique solutions with high functionality for each risk assessment – without compromising on your safety.
STANDARDS & SYMBOLS
PPE Regulation (EU)2016/425
All Employers are obligated to perform a risk assessment in relation to Occupational Health and Safety legislation.
• Hazard identification - Identify the risk factors that have the potential to cause harm.
• Risk analysis and risk evaluation - Analyse and evaluate the risk associated with the hazard.
• Risk control - Determine appropriate ways to eliminate the hazard or control the risk when the hazard cannot be eliminated.
A risk assessment is the overall process of hazard identification, risk analysis and risk evaluation. PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) shall be used when the risk cannot be avoided or entirely eliminated. To protect the workers from these risks, the Employer shall evaluate and analyse these risks to determine what functions are required from the PPE and then choose appropriate PPE.
The key reason for wearing FR clothing is to ensure that the garments do not catch fire and/or to limit flame spread, thereby giving time to react in the event of an accident. There are different certifications and symbols for different risks and Tranemo want to make sure you choose the right combination that fits your risk assessment.
All Tranemo PPE Clothing follows the Regulation (EU)2016/425 and the latest European (EN) standards for PPE Clothing covered by the Regulation. All garment certificates and Declaration of Conformity are available on our website, www.tranemo.co.uk.
There are 3 categories within the PPE Regulation;
Category I - low risk of injury (e.g. rain)
Category II - risk of injury (e.g. heat/flame, moving vehicles)
Category III - high risk of injury (e.g. Electric Arc, heat/flame, chemicals)
Tranemo Category III garments have a production quality monitoring system (Module D according to the Regulation), to ensure that the garments are safe to use. They are marked with CE and the number of the Notified Body who have issued the EU type-examination certificate.
On the following pages you will find information about the symbols and EN standards used by Tranemo. For more information about standards, visit tranemo.co.uk.
CE marking for protective garments
All Tranemo PPE Clothing is CE marked. The CE marking indicates that a Notified Body has CE type examined these garments according to the PPE Regulation (EU)2016/425. On Tranemo garments you will find this symbol on the inside CE label. The CE label also shows which standards and classes the garments are approved for.
UKCA marking for protective garments
The United Kingdom government plans to introduce legislation which prolongs the acknowledgement of CE-marked PPE beyond 2024-12-31. PPE is reported to be given the flexibility to be placed on the United Kingdom market either with CE- or UKCA-marking.
Information symbol
When you find this symbol on the CE label inside the PPE garment it indicates that there is additional information from Tranemo attached to your PPE garment. This information must be read before you start using the garment to ensure that it is worn correctly and giving the optimum protection in the workplace.
EN ISO 15797
Procedures for industrial laundry and finishing of workwear
EN ISO 15797 is a wash test method used for evaluating textiles / garments that are to be industrially washed and consists of both washing and drying processes. Requirements for test results are determined in the respective EN standard, for example in EN ISO 20471, EN ISO 11612 and EN 1149-5.
On products marked with the PRO symbol, the number of washes the fabric has been washed, before being tested, is indicated, for example 50 washes. This means that the fabric in the garment can be industrially washed at least 50 times without the properties for Flame protection, High Visibility or Anti-Static deteriorating. If the garment is undamaged and in good condition, it can be washed and used more times than the stated number of tests.
Tranemo performs fabric tests after 50 industrial laundry washes according to EN ISO 15797 of: EN ISO 11612 A1 Surface Ignition, EN ISO 20471 High Visibility and EN 1149-3 Anti-static. Since EN ISO 15797 is always performed on new, clean fabrics where no dirt is involved, Tranemo completes these with ’real’ wearer tests of workwear in combination with washing at our industrial laundry partners to get the most reliable results. After the wearer test and laundry, we then check that the garments still maintain the highest performance. Tranemo also performs internal wash tests before each production to ensure that we maintain the highest performance on fabrics and reflective tapes.
tested for harmful substances
Most of the fabrics and accessories that Tranemo uses are certified to class 1 or 2 according to Oeko-Tex® standard 100. Oeko-Tex® is an independent third-party certification process that ensures control of harmful and hazardous chemicals.
The garments are tested for numerous regulated and non-regulated substances, which may be harmful to human health. When a garment is certified in accordance with Standard 100, you can be certain that every component of this garment, i.e. fabrics, thread, buttons, labels and other accessories, have been tested for harmful substances and that the garment therefore is harmless for human health. We work continuously to reach our goal - all products certified at garment level.
TRANEMO SKINSAFE
TRANEMO SKINSAFE ™
Tranemo Skinsafe™ is the name of our multi-layer system designed to protect against flame, heat and Electric Arc injuries. Starting at skin level, Tranemo has taken a human-centric approach to design, putting the individual at the focus of protection.
The use of multiple thin layers instead of one thick layer, offers the wearer Flame Retardant protective clothing that is lightweight and gives a better freedom of movement. This allows the wearer to work more effectively and for longer periods.
All Tranemo Skinsafe systems are tested according to ELIM at a testing institute. The tests are performed both on fabric layers and on complete garments to ensure that all accessories also pass the test.
The Tranemo Skinsafe™ symbol is shown on each garment that can be combined in the Skinsafe system and recommended by Tranemo.
TRANEMO SKINSAFE ™ - THE MULTI-LAYER PROTECTION SYSTEM
LAYER 1 – SKIN PROTECTION
In the event of an accident, wearing the wrong underwear can lead to the fabric burning and melting onto your skin. To protect against this, our Flame Retardant underwear offers the following benefits:
• Inherent Flame Retardant safety
• Soft and comfortable
• Anti-static
• Does not give bad odour
LAYER 2 – INSULATION
An insulating mid-layer should be worn to increase comfort during the colder months of the year. This layer creates a distance between layer 1 and 3 which insulates against heat as well as low temperatures.
LAYER 3 – SHIELD
The primary function of any outer layer must be protection – however, to be worn every day, these garments should also fit the body snugly and offer comfort, freedom of movement and meet practical needs such as storage.
AIR GAP
The air gaps between the layers of the Tranemo Skinsafe™ system have a low conductivity which increases the ability to block heat, insulate against cold and provide extra safety in demanding work situations.
EN 61482-2:2020 / IEC 61482-2:2018
Protective clothing against the thermal hazard of an Electric Arc
This standard specifies PPE Clothing when there is a risk of an Electric Arc – for instance when working with electricity on open equipment or maintenance / switching work. Electric Arc garments come under PPE Regulation Category III. Fabric properties and garment design are important parameters in the certification process of Electric Arc garments.
During a transition period, Tranemo stock garments can have three different types of marking.
Working with electricity carries a risk of being injured by an Electric Arc. By wearing protective clothing that is tested and certified to withstand the energy of a possible Electric Arc, you help protect yourself against that risk. It is very important to wear protective clothing covering the whole body in order to achieve complete protection. To certify Electric Arc garments according to EN 61482-2, the protective clothing must be tested by at least one of the two different test methods: Open Arc IEC 61482-1-1 and Box test EN 61482-1-2.
Open Arc – IEC 61482-1-1
This test method uses uses an open arc in a medium voltage range (> 1,000V), which is shot towards a fabric sample or a mannequin with protective clothing. Electrodes behind the fabric or garment register the heat transfer through the fabric/garment in order to determine when a person would receive a second degree burn.
In the first stage, the fabric is exposed to different energy levels to obtain an approved Arc Rating. The revised test method is now more strictly controlled and regulated than before, which can mean that previously obtained results may differ from new re-test figures. However, the protection of the clothing is still the same as before, despite the fact that the Arc Rating may sometimes be a lower value after re-testing. In stage two, the protective clothing is tested with the energy level determined by the fabric test result. A new requirement that has been added to the standard in that the tested garment must not have an afterburn time of more than 5 seconds
In stage two, the protective clothing is being shot with the energy level from the result of the fabric test. All tests result in two different Arc Ratings based on shooting results and the Stoll curve - which is used to calculate the probability that a person will get a burn. The higher the value, the better the protection.
The first result, ELIM (Incident Energy Limit, cal/cm²), lets the user know how much energy the protective clothing can withstand without any risk (or 0% probability) of a second degree burn. The ELIM value is the official value for Electric Arc classification according to the new standard and most of the Tranemo ranges are updated with an ELIM value. The second result is either ATPV (Arc Thermal Performance Value, cal/cm²) or EBT (Energy Break Open Threshold, cal/cm²), and lets the user how much energy the protective clothing withstands when there is a 50% probability of a second degree burn. ATPV indicates the energy level required when the temperature of the mannequins skin reaches a level where a second degree burn could occur. EBT indicates the energy level at which the fabric breaks open and can result in a second degree burn. ELIM indicates the Arc Rating for the entire garment and as additional information Tranemo also indicates the lowest result of ATPV or EBT.
Since ELIM indicates an energy value at 0% probability of a second degree burn and ATPV/EBT at 50% probability, the ELIM value is usually lower than ATPV/EBT. Large differences between the ELIM and ATPV/EBT results highlight the importance of wearing several layers of garments (such as in a Tranemo Skinsafe™ system) to ensure you are properly protected.
Box test EN 61482-1-2
The Box test method uses a constrained and direct arc, created by a short circuit in an open cabinet at a low voltage range (400V). The test is performed on fabric and protective clothing in the same way as for Open Arc. The result is stated as APC (Arc Protection Class) and divided into two classes: APC 1 (formerly Class 1) – 168kJ (4kA, 400V), APC 2 (formerly Class 2) – 320kJ (7kA, 400V)
Unlike the Open Arc test, there is not a result scale in this garment tests, only two levels where the garment either passes or fails. A garment with one layer of Flame Retardant fabric usually passes APC 1 - even thin shirt fabrics.
To pass APC 2, a system with two or three fabric layers or a lined garment is normally required. This makes it more difficult to adapt the protection to the risk, without compromising on comfort. As APC 1 is a relatively low level of protection, Tranemo always recommends a basic protection of at least 8 cal/cm², PPE2 (according to NFPA 70E).
RISK ASSESSMENT ELECTRIC ARC HAZARD
Documents like NFPA 70E, ISSA Guidelines and DGUV-I 203-077 help to assess Electric Arc hazards from a practical perspective. The hazards of an Electric Arc include thermal effects from high heat, noise, pressure wave, shrapnel and flying debris, molten metal, optical damage, hearing damage and other effects. Therefore, it is important that any risk assessment considers all of these potential hazards. To achieve correct levels of protection, it is important that the whole body is protected with supporting Arc PPE i.e. helmet with protective screen, ear protection, arc gloves and safety shoes together with the correct Tranemo protective clothing. There are two accepted Electric Arc risk assessment standards used in Europe; the American NFPA 70E and the German DGUV-I 203-077.
American standard for electrical safety in the workplace - NFPA 70E
This is the American standard for electrical safety in the workplace and is a consensus standard on how to protect workers from the hazards of an Electric Arc. The standard is formed to help employees and workers to understand electrical hazards, help with: risk assessment, arc rated PPE selection and electrical safe working practices. When choosing workwear and other PPE as protection against Electric Arc risks, NFPA 70E states two methods; Incident Energy Analysis or Arc Flash PPE Category method Which one to use depends on whether the incident energy that a worker may be exposed to has been calculated or not.
Incident Energy Analysis in cal/cm² - NFPA 70E:2018 130.5 according to IEEE1584:2018
The strength of the protection must be greater than the force of the risk - meaning that the certified protection in cal/cm² must be greater than the Incident Energy Analysis in cal/cm².
The table below shows what PPE should be worn and when:
The risk of Electric Arc is 1,2-12 cal/cm²
• Electric Arc approved jacket/trousers/boilersuit with long sleeves/ legs
• Electric Arc approved helmet/visor with balaclava or Electric Arc hood with integrated visor
• Electric Arc approved gloves, thick leather gloves or isolating gloves with leather cover
• Protective glasses under a visor
• Ear protection
• Comprehensive heavy-duty protective leather footwear
Arc Flash PPE Category method - NFPA 70E:2018 130.7
The risk of Electric Arc is >12 cal/cm²
• Electric Arc approved jacket/trousers/boilersuit with long sleeves/ legs
• Electric Arc hood with integrated visor shall cover the face (Electric Arc approved helmet/visor with balaclava is not approved)
• Electric Arc approved gloves (thick leather gloves or isolating gloves with leather cover is not approved)
• Protective glasses under a visor
• Ear protection
• Comprehensive heavy-duty protective leather footwear
The Arc Flash PPE Category method is only used when the Incident Energy Analysis has not been calculated. In the Arc Flash PPE Category method, you compare your workplace with those listed in NFPA 70E 130.7 where a recommendation of which PPE category to choose is stated. This method is more insecure and may cause the user to wear unnecessarily thick and heavy clothing, protecting to a level much greater than that which is required.
The Electric Arc protection for clothing is divided into four PPE categories:
Risk Assessment acc. to Arc Flash PPE Category method (cal/cm²)
Requirement of
Requirement of PPE category
The table below shows what PPE that shall be worn:
When the Electric Arc hazard requires use of PPE 1 or 2
• Electric Arc approved jacket/trousers/boilersuit with long sleeves/ legs
• Electric Arc approved helmet/visor with balaclava or Electric Arc hood with integrated visor
• Electric Arc approved gloves, thick leather gloves or isolating gloves with leather cover
• Protective glasses under a visor
• Ear protection
• Comprehensive heavy-duty protective leather footwear
When the Electric Arc hazard requires use of PPE 3 or 4
• Electric Arc approved jacket/trousers/boilersuit with long sleeves/ legs
• Electric Arc hood with integrated visor shall cover the face (Electric Arc approved helmet/visor with balaclava is not approved)
• Electric Arc approved gloves (thick leather gloves or isolating gloves with leather cover is not approved)
• Protective glasses under a visor
• Ear protection
• Comprehensive heavy-duty protective leather footwear
Letter of conformance - NFPA 70E / EN 61482-2
Tranemo has (in collaboration with ArcWear, an accredited testing institute in the USA) produced a conformance letter showing that our PPE, when certified according to EN 61482-2, meets the requirements of the American standard NFPA 70E. The letter confirms that Tranemo’s CE-marked Electric Arc garments can also be used in the US market.
German standard for risk assessment according to DGUV-I 203-077 and risk calculations according to BGI/GUV-I 5188
The German standard is based on a risk assessment according to DGUV-I 203-077 and risk calculations according to BGI/GUV-I 5188. According to the standard, the protective clothing is tested according to EN 61482-1-2 Box test with a limited and direct arc created by a short circuit in an open cabinet. The test is performed in a low voltage range (400V).
Tranemo Skinsafe™
Wearing several layers of Electric Arc protective clothing significantly increases protection, due to the formation of air gaps between the garment layers due to the fact that air has low electricity conductivity. It is important to understand that the total protective value of a multi-layer system cannot be calculated by simply adding energy values from the individual garments.
To determine the energy value of a multi-layer system, an Electric Arc test (corresponding to the way the garments would be worn in reality) must be carried out on a mannequin with the relevant garments layers. We call our tested multi-layer systems Tranemo Skinsafe™, which provides a greater opportunity to choose the right protective clothing based on your risk assessment.
As noted in NFPA 70E, and from experience in Tranemo Skinsafe™ tests, multiple layers of Electric Arc protective clothing are an effective way to achieve the protection required with the lowest combined weight. The use of a layering system therefore provides higher levels of comfort for the wearer and ensures that the correct protective clothing is always used.
ASTM F1959
The American performance standard for Electric Arc fabrics is called ASTM F1506 where fabric specifications also include the Open Arc test ASTM F1959. This standard is similar to the European test method IEC 61482-1-1 for fabric and garments.
The biggest difference of the American standard compared to the European standard is the Char Length test - where a maximum char length is determined. The test is done after 25 washes and to pass, the char length it is allowed to be a maximum of 152 mm after 12 s exposure. Tranemo has tested our fabrics that are developed principally for working with electricity - Tera TX and Aramid 6.4FC. The test provides a useful indication of the fabrics Flame Retardant properties in an Electric Arc accident.
Electrical insulating protective clothing against Electric shock or clothing for work intentionally using an Electric Arc (such as arc welding and plasma torch cutting) IS NOT covered by the European EN 61482-2 standard.
EN 1149-5
Protective clothing with Electrostatic properties
This standard specifies PPE Clothing used in explosive environments (i.e. ATEX) where there is a risk that the garments could create sparks (source of ignition), which in turn could ignite explosive materials.
To certify garments to this standard, the Anti-static properties of the fabric are tested according to EN 1149-1 (surface resistance), or EN 1149-3 (charge decay). The design of the garment is also a parameter in the certification and CE marking of Anti-static/ATEX garments. With Anti-Static properties and the right design of the garment, you can remove the source of ignition and minimise the risk. ATEX-environments are divided into different zones with different levels of risks. Anti-static garments marked EN 1149-5 are intended to be worn in Atex zones 1, 2, 20, 21 and 22.
Atex zone classifications for gas, mist and vapours
Zone 0 Environment where a mixture of air and flammable gas, mist or vapour occurs often and persists for long periods of time.
Zone 1 Environment where a mixture of air and flammable gas, mist or vapour is likely to occur under normal conditions.
Zone 2 Environment where a mixture of air and flammable gas, mist or vapour can occur under normal conditions but dilutes quickly.
Atex zone classifications for dust
Zone 20 Environment where explosive clouds of dust appear often and for extended periods.
Zone 21 Environment where explosive clouds of dust can appear under normal conditions.
Zone 22 Environment where explosive clouds of dust are not likely to appear and if they do, disappears quickly.
EN ISO 11612
Protective clothing to protect against heat and flame
This standard specifies PPE Clothing when working where there is a risk that the garments will come into contact with heat and flame and it is the base level of protection for all Tranemo FR garments. For full body protection, the protective clothing system shall cover neck, torso, arms and legs with a single garment (a boilersuit) or a two-piece garment system (combination of jacket and trousers certified to the same level). Even an accessory, for example welding protection such as aprons and sleeve protection, can be certified for EN ISO 11612 if tested and used together with other full-coverage garments with the same certification.
The standard is divided into different categories, where the code letters show which heat and flame requirements the garment needs to fulfill. At least two categories must be tested to be able to CE mark the garments. Code letter A1 or A1+A2 plus at least one other code letter (B, C, D, E or F) is mandatory and the result is included on the CE label, together with this symbol. The code letters are classified in different levels, where the highest number is the highest tested level. The design of the garment is also a parameter in the CE marking for heat and flame garments. FR garments certified according to EN ISO 11612 B3, C2-C4, D2-D3, E2-E3 and F3 come under PPE Regulation Category III.
A1, A2 Requirements for limited flame spread; A1: Surface ignition. A2: Edge ignition.
B (1-3) Protection against convective heat and open flames
C (1-4) Protection against radiant heat
D (1-3) Protection against molten aluminium splash
E (1-3) Protection against molten iron splash
F (1-3) Protection against contact heat
EN ISO 1411 6
Protective clothing with lower level of Flame Retardant protection.
The standard is often used for PPE clothing and accessories with lower level Flame Retardant protection, such as High-Visibility vests, rainwear, t-shirts with short sleeves and socks. It is divided into three classes, where index 3 is the highest level. Index 3 garments should be worn in combination with EN ISO 11612 garments. (It is important to note that Index 1 garments should not be worn next to the skin. This standard does not have a dedicated Symbol/Pictogram. Tranemo uses the flame symbol to indicate it is a FR garment/FR accessories.
LOI - Limited Oxygen Index
LOI means the minimum concentration of oxygen (expressed as a percentage) that would be required to support combustion of a fabric. It determines the protection of the garment regarding relative flammability and should be over 25%.
Tranemo test the LOI value on our fabrics and show this on the outside FR label. The LOI value is one way to indicate the level of FR protection a garment provides and it makes it easier for the user to compare and choose the right level of protection. LOI level depends on the FR fibre/fibre combination and the fabric weight. Tranemo does flame tests on every batch before production to ensure the high level of protection that we expect on all our fabrics is consistent. Example of LOI values:
EN ISO 11611
Protective clothing for use in welding and allied processes
This standard specifies PPE Clothing used in welding work or allied processes where you have the risk of spatter (small splashes of molten metal), short contact with flame, radiant heat from the arc, and risk of electric shock by short-term, accidental contact with live electrical conductors (at voltages up to approximately 100 V DC in normal conditions of welding).
The standard is divided in two different classes with different levels of protection. The welding function of the fabric is tested with 15 drops (class 1) or 25 drops (class 2) of molten metal. The design of the garment is also a parameter in the CE marking of welding garments.

Protective clothing against liquid chemicals
This standard specifies PPE Clothing used where there is a risk of a potential exposure to a light spray, liquid aerosols or low pressure, low volume splashes when complete liquid permeation barrier (at a molecular level) is not required.
In accordance to the standard EN 13034 the following chemical groups/chemicals can be tested:
Chemical group Chemical
Acid H2SO4 30% (Sulphuric acid)
Alkaline NaOH 10% (Sodium hydroxide also called lye and caustic soda)
Aromatic Hydrocarbon O-xylene Alcohol Butanol
The result is given in scale 1-3 where the maximum value is 3. To pass the test and be able to use the EN 13034 symbol in the CE-marking, at least one chemical shall obtain level 3 for liquid repellency and at least one chemical shall obtain level 2 for resistance to penetration. The design of the garment is also a parameter in the CE marking for chemical protection garments.

If your company only requires protection against acid or alkaline, you can advantageously choose a fabric with a PFAS-free finish. A PFAS-free finish does not contain the fluorine-carbon bond, that is very difficult for nature to break down, making the product a better and more environmentally friendly choice. If your company instead requires protection against O-xylene or butanol, you need a fabric with a PFAS finish. Contact Tranemo if you are not sure which protection your company needs.

EN ISO 20471 High Visibility clothing
This standard specifies PPE Clothing used where the wearer needs to be visible at day and night and where there is a risk from moving vehicles or processes.
This standard has three different levels covering three different risks and the maximum level is class 3. The figure by the symbol indicates the area of fluorescent and reflective material within the garment. To certify and CE mark the garment with this symbol, it has to achieve one of these levels. The design of the garment is also a parameter in the CE marking of High Visibility garments.
Material area in m²Class 1Class 2Class 3
Combined certification - Class 3 system
If a garment doesn´t reach EN ISO 20471 class 3, it can be combined with other Tranemo High Visibility garments to reach the highest class of certification - a Class 3 system. For example, a jacket that only reaches class 2 can be worn together with a class 1 or class 2 trousers / bib & brace to reach a Class 3 system. A number of Tranemo jackets and T-shirts are approved to different EN ISO 20471 classes for various sizes and they can also be combined to a Class 3 system for all sizes. If a garment is certified as a Class 3 system, it is indicated in the product description of the garment. It is also indicated on the inside CE-label of the garment.
RIS-3279-TOM ISSUE 2
Railway Group High Visibility Standard for UK
This UK High Visibility standard is based on the European standard EN ISO 20471. It requires that the area of fluorescent and reflective materials of the garments reaches at least EN ISO 20471 class 2. RIS-3297-TOM only approves specific orange High Visibility materials.
EN 342
Protective clothing against cold
This standard specifies PPE Clothing used when working in cold environments. It requires tests of resultant effective thermal insulation (value in m²K/W), air permeability (shown as class 1-3) and resistance to water penetration (shown as class 1-2). The garment ensemble (i.e. two piece combination or boilersuit) must achieve results on thermal insulation and air permeability to be CE marked with the EN 342 symbol – the water penetration test is optional. The garments are tested as a 3-layer system, together with standard underwear.
EN 343
Protective clothing against rain
This standard specifies PPE Clothing used for working in rain or snow, fog and ground humidity. According to the latest version of the standard, EN 343:2019, the garment and seams are tested for water penetration (waterproofness) class 1-4 and water vapour resistance (breathability) class 1-4, where class 4 is the highest level. The garment must achieve a result on both tests to be CE marked with the EN 343 symbol.
EN 13758-2
Protection against UV radiation
Standard for the classification and marking of long sleeve garments that give the wearer UVA + UVB protection over 40UPF (Ultraviolet Protection Factor. Tranemo 50+).
All textiles offer protection for the wearer against the sun and risk of sun burn depending on the thickness of the fabric - this standard indicates that the protection is high. Test method for fabric is EN 13758-1.
PROTECTIVE GLOVES
Protective gloves are certified and tested according to different standards to provide the user with information so that the right glove with the right protection for the specific working area can be chosen. When working in areas such as electricity & power generation, maintenance and infrastructure, there can be a risk of Arc Flash. The Electric Arc creates a massive heat radiation that can burn the skin. The hot air from the arc explosion can reach up to 10 000°C, which poses a high risk of significant burns. The intense heat can ignite the glove, so it is important that the gloves protects against ignition and melting. The hands are one of the most exposed parts of the body when working with electricity. Tranemo recommends:
• Use the gloves! Hands are the most exposed part of the body!
• Use dry gloves! Moist or wet gloves might cause steam that will reduce the protection significantly
• Worn down gloves gives a reduced protection.
• Use clean gloves! The gloves are Flame Retardant but oil and dirt on the gloves might still burn.
• It is a good idea to bring an extra pair of gloves if one pair should be wet or dirty during the work day
• Use the correct size! Good fitting gloves will reduce risk of entangling during work.
• Let other protective workwear overlap the gloves at the wrists.
EN 407
Protective gloves against thermal risks (and /or fire)

HELMETS
Helmets are certified and tested according to different standards to provide the user with information in order that the correct helmet with the right protection for the specific working area can be chosen. Tranemo recommends:
• Use the helmet in conjunction with your protective clothing and make sure it is firmly positioned on the head.
• When not in use, store the helmet at the correct temperature (5°C - 35°C).
• Do not use the helmet when working if the helmet or other component (shell, visor, adjusters or chin straps) is damaged or dirty.
• A wet or damp helmet should be dried thoroughly before use.
• The helmet has a limited lifespan and must be replaced before the expiration date has passed. Lifespan information can be found on the back of the helmet.
EN 397 - Standard for industry helmets
The standard specifies requirements for materials and performance, test methods and labeling requirements for industrial safety helmets. The mandatory requirements apply to helmets for general use in industry. There are some optional additional performance requirements that the helmet manufacturer can choose to specify. Industrial safety helmets are primarily intended to provide the wearer with protection against falling objects, where consequential damage to the head or skull fracture is a risk. Helmets certified according to EN 397 must meet the requirements for falling objects, penetration of sharp objects, flame and triggering chin straps.
EN 50365 - Standard for electrically insulated helmets for use in low voltage installations
This optional test ensures reliable protection against electric shock up to AC 1000V or DC 1500V. The voltage used for this test is 10,000V. Helmets approved according to EN 50365 must be marked with the triangle symbol and ”Electrician class 0” inside the shell.
Helmet approved according to EN 50365:
• Protects against electric shock and dangerous electric current through the head.
• Protects against alternating voltage up to 1000 V (AC) or voltage up to 1500 V (DC)
• May not contain any conductive parts if the helmet is insulating.
• Do not have air vents that can cause accidental contact with live parts.
• Must meet the requirements in accordance with EN 397.
EN 166 - Standard for eye protection
The standard specifies functional requirements for all types of eye protection. The standard deals with general considerations concerning eye protection, such as design, classification, basic requirements, special requirements and additional requirements, test methods, labeling and information to the user.
• Eye protection should be free from protruding parts, sharp edges or other defects, which are likely to cause discomfort or damage during use.
• No parts of the eye protection that come into contact with the wearer should be made of materials that are known to cause skin irritation.
• Headbands must be at least 10 mm wide over all parts that may come into contact with the wearer’s head.
• Headbands must be adjustable or self-adjusting.
• Glasses approved according to EN 166 must be tested according to:
- EN 167 Optical test - This includes tests for field of view, transmission and diffusion as well as refractive properties
- EN 168 Robustness and resistance to heat, ignition and corrosion. There are two robustness tests - ”minimal robustness” and ”increased robustness”

SHELL FR is Tranemo’s Inherent Flame Retardant range for all weather conditions. All garments have taped seams and are made of a lightweight polyester free, wind and waterproof material according to EN 343. The base of the fabric is viscose which is a natural fibre. This together with the special weave, gives the garments a comfortable and a smooth feel. Excellent breathability in the membrane lining also allows the wearer to use the garment all day and be able to work comfortably and safely even when extreme movement is needed.
Being a polyester free FR garment the fabric structure remains stable when in contact with small metal splashes - ideal if you need to do occasional welding in your shell garment, the shell garments are lined with a thin mesh together with a Cantex lining to make them light, airy and comfortable to wear. A shell garment is perfect for use all year long since the user can decide on clothes to wear underneath according to temperature, protection and activity.
The shell garments have a high ELIM value - 20 cal/cm², PPE 2 and when you combine it in a 3 layer system with Flame Retardant garments, you are able to reach an even higher level of protection.

TRANEMO SKINSAFE
TERA TX -SYSTEM
Tranemo Skinsafe™ is the name of our multi-layer system designed to protect against flame, heat and Electric Arc injuries. Starting at skin level, Tranemo has taken a humancentric approach to design, putting the individual at the focus of protection. The use of multiple thinner layers instead of one thick layer, offers the wearer Flame Retardant protective clothing that is lightweight and gives a better freedom of movement. This allows the wearer to work more effectively and for longer periods.
Tera TX is a very popular layering choice in the power industry and other outdoor work. When Tera TX is combined with one or more layers of other Flame Retardant garments, a system that reaches a higher level of protection is created. The system is also suitable for working outside at different levels of intensity and temperature.
TERA TX
TERA TX is our largest Flame Retardant range developed in collaboration with the electricity and power industries and companies that require completely metal free garments. The non-metal and Anti-static protective clothing provides the user with the highest levels of functionality, superior comfort and garments with a really long life.
Thanks to the fact that the Flame Retardant garments are non-metal, the risk of sparking is reduced, which is especially important in sensitive ATEX environments. The metal free clothing also eliminates the risk that a metal accessory could fall off the garment and remain in the area after the work has been completed. TERA TX is also recommended when working with certain chemicals and most of the protective clothing is designed according to the requirements of EN 13034.
All protective clothing in TERA TX is light and compliant with high functionality, which makes it comfortable to always wear the right protection at work. All garments meet at least the requirements for PPE category 2 (over 8 cal/cm²) according to EN 61482-1-1 (Open Arc). If the work requires even higher protection against Electric Arc, there are many different layer-on-layer combinations to choose from in Tranemo SkinsafeTM and with different layers it is easy to achieve the right protection for different levels of risk. TERA TX is a comprehensive collection with clothes for all climates including a large range of ladies styles.

OUTERWEAR
Many jobs that require Flame Retardant or Electric Arc protection are often performed outdoors in different weather conditions, which can sometimes place great demands on the clothing. They must protect not only against the bad weather but also Flame related risks - whilst also being comfortable and flexible.
Tranemo has many different types of outer garments enabling the user to wear clothing according to the layer-on-layer principle for the best and most lightweight protection. Each Flame Retardant range has suitable winter garments for when work is physically active and also for varying degree of climate.
HOW TO DRESS FOR COLD WEATHER
FROM THE INSIDE OUT
We recommend that you only wear Inherent Flame Retardant protective clothing on your body, from the inside out. This is to avoid the risk of burning cotton, melting polyester or metal transmitting electricity and heat to the skin. Also, do not forget to protect the whole body, from head to toe.
LAYER 1 - INNER LAYER
The innermost layer ensures that you stay warm and dry from the inside. The inner layer is the garment you wear closest to the body, such as a base layer, underwear or socks. If the clothes do not remove moisture from the skin, the body will cool down. In the event of an accident, incorrect choice of underwear can lead to the fabric catching fire and melting into the skin. Therefore, it is important to prioritise the innermost protection. We recommend choosing Inherent Flame Retardant underwear in Merino Wool. Wool underwear is soft and comfortable, provides good insulation and has good moisture-transporting ability. Wool underwear is also antistatic and does not attract bad odours.
LAYER 2 - INSULATING MID-LAYER
An insulating mid-layer should be used to increase comfort during the colder months of the year. This layer creates a barrier and distance between layers 1 and 3 and insulates against both heat and low temperatures. The optimal mid-layer transports the moisture away from the first layer and ensures that the heat does not leave your body. A wool based garment is perfect to use as a mid-layer.
LAYER 3 - PROTECTIVE OUTER LAYER
The primary function of any outer layer is to provide protection - however, to be worn every day, these garments should also fit the body snugly and offer comfort, freedom of movement and meet practical needs such as storage. We recommend inherent Flame Retardant shell garments, these garments have taped seams and are wind and waterproof according to EN 343. Thanks to a very good breathability, these garments are user-friendly and comfortable.
AIR GAP
The air gaps that form between the different layers have a low conductivity which increases the ability to block heat, insulate against the cold and provide extra safety in demanding work situations.

The unique blend of modacrylic and cotton provides a long-term and comfortable protection that lasts wash after wash.

SWEATERS & UNDERWEAR
Tranemo strives to make it possible for everybody to dress correctly from the inside out, so this year most knitted tops are designed so that even ladies wearing smaller sizes will get a good fit.
The tricot is soft and gentle, which makes the garment adjust to the body whilst also creating the extra protective air gap - this adds enhanced protection when used as part of the Tranemo Skinsafe™ system. The sizes of the accessories are listed and ordered in men’s sizes. Use the conversion table to the right to see which ladies size this corresponds to.

HIGH VISIBILITY & WORKWEAR
For people who have a job that does not require Flame Retardant clothing, we have a wide range of garments suitable for industry, warehousing and crafts professions. If you work outdoors or in busy environments, we recommend our High Visibility clothing for better visibility in both daylight and darkness.
We always choose the best materials for our workwear to ensure high quality, good comfort and excellent durability. Our workwear lasts a long time which helps us contribute towards reducing our impact on the climate.
VISION HV OUTERWEAR
VISION HV Outerwear is the range for those who work outdoors in all seasons. When you work outdoors, it is important to be seen properly in daylight as well as in the dark, while staying warm. Vision HV is specially designed to be visible, warm, and comfortable.
Working outdoors means having to work in all weathers, both in snow and cold as well as in rain and wind. This requires high quality, High Visibility clothing that protects you against both the weather and the risks at work. Tranemo’s range of outerwear is functional but also comfortable, in addition they have a modern and stylish fit.
All functional garments have an outer material that is light and flexible with good breathability. The functional garments have taped seams and are certified according to EN 343. The winter-lined functional garments are also certified for cold, EN 342. Vision HV Outerwear is also a good choice from a sustainability perspective as the entire collection is completely free of PFAS. At Tranemo we are actively working to phase out PFAS from our products and reduce the use of chemicals.
With Vision HV, you can be active and perform at work, regardless of the weather.
The products on this section are certified according to:
VISION HV
Achieve new levels of comfort and freedom of movement with Vision HV. This High Visibility range has been developed to create maximum mobility for the user during physically demanding work.
If you are looking for comfortable Hi-Vis clothing, Vision HV is the collection for you. The majority of the range is made of flexible and durable stretch fabric, which makes them very comfortable to move in. Stretch panels combined with a base material with a high percentage of cotton, gives a soft feeling against the skin and makes them extremely comfortable to wear during physically demanding work.
All garments are available in both men’s and ladies sizes and thanks to the fibre mixture with polyester, the garments are very durable. To cope with extra hard wear and tear on the knee protection pockets and hanging pockets, they are both reinforced with HTPA - High Tenacity Polyamide - which gives an extra-high wear and tear resistance. This significantly extends the life of the garment. With a modern and comfortable fit, Vision HV is the High Visiblity clothing you never want to take off.

HEATSEAL BADGES
When ordering a heatseal badge, the cost is made up of two charges. The first charge is for making the heatseal badge and the second charge for applying the heatseal badge to the garment. The heatseal badges are charged on the first order and the price varies depending on size of the badge, how many colours are being used and quantity being ordered. Minimum order quantity for 1-3 colours is 25 pcs and then in multiples of 25. Minimum order quantity for more than 3 colours is 100 pieces. Tranemo has 13 standard colours to choose from. If there is a requirement for a specific PMS colour, there is an additional cost for ordering the special colour.
InduTrans - This is an all-round heatseal badge that works on most materials. Covers dark garments to 99% and can be washed in 60 degrees and tumble dried in low temperatures (garment washed and dried inside out). InduTrans is tested and complies to the requirements for EN ISO 14116 and 1149-5 when applied to most Tranemo Flame Retardant fabrics.
Artwork - originating cost - To ensure the best quality, please supply us with a digital eps file, with text outlines. If the original is not in an acceptable file format, there will be a cost for re-designing.
Applying instructions - InduTrans heatseal badges should be applied by a heatseal machine for 8-12 seconds at 160°C. The surface of the material should be flat and without seams. For Flame Retardant garments, the best placement is where there are several layers of fabric underneath - this will help protect the wearer against extra heat that a heatseal badge may retain during use. Water resistant garments can be preheated to get a better finish.
Location of heatseal badges, max 100 cm².
Depending on the shape of the heatseal badge and the design of a garment, it may be that it is not possible or suitable to apply the heatseal to some areas of the garment.
Location of heatseal badges, max 500 cm².
Depending on the shape of the heatseal badge and the design of a garment, it may be that it is not possible or suitable to apply the heatseal to some areas of the garment.
CARE
It is essential that all Flame Retardant garments are washed in a professional manner in accordance with specific washing instructions to ensure that the features and benefits are not compromised or lost. Only synthetic detergents should be used. Do not use soap detergent or softeners and garments should not be bleached.
Tranemo recommends:
• Protective clothing certified according to EN ISO 20471 must be washed separately or alternatively together with other garments certified according to EN ISO 20471.
• For garments that contain wool, proper care is very important. Wool is sensitive to high pH levels and should therefore be washed in a neutral pH gentle wash process. Protective clothing containing wool should also be washed on a special wool program.
Contact Tranemo for full information on washing procedures and detailed care instructions.
Impregnation/finish & re-impregnation
In order to meet the requirements of EN 13034 and maintain chemical protection, protective clothing needs to be re-impregnated if necessary. Protective clothing should be washed in industrial laundries, which are able to carry out the re-impregnation correctly and in an environmentally friendly way.
Tranemo has carried out several tests at an accredited institute, which proves that a fabric certified for EN 13034 (acid and alkaline) and an impregnation containing PFAS, can advantageously be re-impregnated with a PFAS-free finish and still achieve the same result. Note that the markings on the garments must only be for acid and base in order for the change to be approved. If you are unsure about the handling, contact us and we will help you.

Stitched on reflective stripes can feel hard, stiff and give an uncomfortable feel to knitwear that is often soft and elastic. The use of segmented heat sealed reflective stripes makes the garments more compliant compared to ordinary stitch-on reflective stripes. Even on some lighter garments in woven fabrics, heat sealed reflective stripes have a strong advantage in terms of comfort.
To maintain reflection, the heat sealed reflective stripes should be washed at a neutral pH (i.e. do not use detergents with pH above 8).
Tranemo recommends:
• Washing at maximum 60°C
• Avoid alkaline detergents, pH<8 is recommended.
• Do not use softener, bleaching agents or optical whiteners.
• We recommend hang drying or tumble dry at max 60°C. For tunnel drying, maximum 100°C is recommended.

Repairing a Flame Retardant garment
Do not use damaged Protective Clothing that cannot be repaired (i.e. holes or tears in the garment, closure not functioning properly). Small damage that does not affect the garments overall protection can be repaired, prolonging the lifetime of a garment by repairing it will also reduce our environmental impact. Repairs should not impair the performance of the Protective Clothing and any repairs should only be done in accordance with Tranemo repair instructions and using identical fabrics and components.
If needed, Tranemo can provide a repair kit as an optional product and provide guideline repair instructions.
Exchange - Disposal
When a garment has been in direct contact with flame or strong heat, it may be brittle and weakened and should therefore be disposed of. If the garment has been exposed to chemicals which have penetrated the fabric, this will normally mean a degradation of the protection and it should be taken into consideration whether the garment should be discarded and replaced.
Heat seal badges and embroidery on PPE Clothing
Heat seal badges need to be tested and approved before they are used on Flame Retardant garments. The heat seal badges that Tranemo produce are tested and approved for EN ISO 14116 and EN 1149-5 when attached to a Tranemo Flame Retardant garment. When a heat seal badge is exposed to high heat, it normally retains the energy for a longer period of time than the fabric. From a safety perspective, a large solid print is not recommended. The best placement is where there are several layers of fabric underneath that will help protect your skin.
Badges attached to a Flame Retardant garment should be made from Flame Retardant fabric. For EN 1149-5 garments, badges should be permanently attached. This should be done in such a way that separation between the badge and the clothing material is avoided. If embroidery is applied directly to a Flame Retardant garment, it should be made from Flame Retardant thread. Incorrect embroidery, badge or heat seal badges attached to an FR garment can have a negative effect on the FR properties. Heat seal badges, badges and labels that are smaller than 10 cm² do not need to be flame tested according to the standard EN ISO 14116.
Heat seal badges
Heat seal badges must be approved according to EN ISO 14116 Index 3.
Preferably applied where there are several layers of fabric underneath. Avoid covering large areas of the fabric.
Heat seal badges greater in width than 5 cm and bigger than 100 cm² and thickness more than 2 mm must be tested according to EN 1149-5.
Maximum size depends on size of garment and high visibility area.
Embroidery
Embroidery thread must be approved according to EN ISO 14116 Index 3.
Preferably applied where there are several layers of fabric underneath.
Embroideries greater in width than 5 cm and bigger than 100 cm² and thickness more than 2 mm must be tested according to EN 1149-5.
Maximum size depends on size of garment and high visibility area.
Applying a logo on high visibility garments
Badges
Badge fabric must be approved according to EN ISO 14116 Index 3.
Badges greater in width than 5 cm and bigger than 100 cm² and thickness more than 2 mm must be tested according to EN 1149-5 and permanently attached.
Maximum size depends on size of garment and high visibility area.
In order for a garment certified according to EN ISO 20471 to still meet the minimum fluorescent surface area requirement of the standard after applying a logo, care should be taken to ensure the logo should neither be too large or placed on the fluorescent surface so as to compromise the minimum required fluorescent surface area. Therefore, trousers should not have logos applied to the fluorescent surface area. The same recommendation applies to upper parts certified according to EN ISO 20471 class 3 with relatively small fluorescent surface area ( e.g. short-sleeved garments, ladies garments or garments with contrast fabric).
Please ask Tranemo for the high visibility details / area on each garment to know any limitation.
QUALITY AND FABRIC
THE IMPORTANCE OF QUALITY CONTROL
Our aim is to ensure that the garments we manufacture meet the needs and expectations of our customers. In order to achieve this, we place great importance ensuring the highest quality of the fabrics and components that make up our garments. The quality control process covers all stages of manufacturing – from product development through to finished garments. This ensures that Tranemo garments offer the very best in workplace protection, performance, comfort and will meet the demands of today’s varied working environments.
Before a finished garment can be approved, it must pass the following quality control processes:
• Before production begins, all materials, fabric and components are fully inspected and approved.
• All fabrics and reflective materials are tested in our own test house. The different characteristics are tested depending on how the garment will be used and what performance and protection it needs to give. Important parameters are shrinkage, tear strength, colour fastness, pilling and combustibility
• Certification of products and fabrics are made after extensive testing in our external certified test houses.
• The quality control process also includes areas such as delivery and stock control of finished garments.

SIZE GUIDE
Our size guide will help you find the right size for your Tranemo garment. Men and ladies have different body types and should therefore, use different body measurements when choosing the correct size. Take the measurements directly on your underwear, room for movement is already calculated into the design of the garment.
LADIES
The Swedish ladies size 34-48 was previously UK size range 8-22.
As a result of customer feedback that the UK size was a smaller fitting, during 2024 the size range will be moved down to sizes 6-20. If you have a repeat order or want an identical size as previously ordered, please use the Swedish sizing 34-48. Please be aware, there will be a transition period where paper labels will be correct, but some sewn in labels may have old sizing on it.
Primarily use hip measurements to choose the right size.
