Welding is an inherently high-risk task. Welders face extreme radiant and convective heat, flying sparks, and molten-metal splatter that can burn skin and ignite clothing. The welding arc emits intense ultraviolet (UV) and infrared radiation; even brief exposure can cause “arc eye” and severe skin burns. Noise, welding fumes and the weight of heavy equipment add to the danger. Proper PPE – flame-resistant coveralls, jackets, leather gloves, aprons, boots and eye/face gear – forms the frontline defence, shielding workers from burns, spatter, UV/IR exposure, cuts and other injuries.
Standards-Driven Protection:
a) IS 16655: Protective clothing for Welders
b) IS 15748: Protective clothing for personnel exposed to heat & flame
Safety standards define how PPE must perform in welding environments. For example, EN ISO 11611 specifies safety requirements for welding garments, protecting the wearer from Welding splatters, brief flame contact, and radiant heat. Likewise, EN ISO 11612 covers flame- and heat-resistant clothing, requiring fabrics to resist convective heat, radiant heat and molten metal splashes. (India’s BIS standards, such as IS 16655:2017 for welding PPE and the IS 15748 for safety heat & flame, align with these international norms.) Choosing PPE certified to these standards – and to relevant national codes – is crucial. Certified gear has been rigorously tested to self-extinguish, block UV/IR, and endure the heat and abrasion of welding.
System5S Welding PPE: Suits and Jackets
Flame-resistant welding suits are a core part of System5S’s lineup. For instance, their “Emperor” FR work coverall (Nomex® IIIA fabric) and FR-treated cotton coveralls (300 gsm PROBAN blend) are explicitly designed for heat, flame and welding applications. These one-piece suits are stitched with inherent FR thread and use FR zippers, snaps and Velcro to eliminate ignition points. Many meets ISO 11612/11611 and bear CE marking for industrial flash-fire protection. Key features include multiple secure pockets, concealed closures and reinforced stitching. System5S suits also incorporate comfort design: deep, bi-swing pleated backs and elastic waists or straps for freedom of movement. Optional FR reflective tape increases visibility in low light. Available in sizes up to XXXL (EN 13688) and colours like navy/blue, these coveralls keep welders safe without sacrificing ergonomics.
Gloves, Aprons and Accessories
System5S’s welding kits round out the ensemble with hand and body protection. They offer heavy-duty welding gloves – typically long-cuffed split with Kevlar palm – that resist sparks and abrasive wear. For example, their top-grain Kevlar palm gauntlet gloves are highly abrasion-resistant and designed for dexterity. Elasticized wrists and gauntlet cuffs ensure a snug, secure fit. Welding aprons and sleeves are also available to protect the torso and limbs from spatter. While specific models aren’t listed here, such aprons typically meet EN ISO 11612 & IS 15748 for molten-metal splash protection & EN ISO 11611 & IS 16655 for Welding allied work protection.
On the feet, System5S stocks safety boots (e.g. the HARVIK 9687 boot) tested to EN ISO 20345:2004 and EN 50321. These boots are slip-resistant, fuel- and heat-resistant, and electrically insulated (tested up to 5 kV wet) to protect against both molten metal and electrical hazards.
For eyes and face, System5S includes welding helmets and FR balaclavas, as well as EN 166-certified goggles. Their eyewear (3M Virtua) features anti-fog/anti-scratch hard coat lenses with 99.9% UV protection. These goggles (and matching face shields) block welding arc UV/IR and flying debris. Together with earplugs for noise and FR hoods for head/neck coverage, the full kit “works as hard as you do” to keep welders safe.
Certified, Durable and Ergonomic Design
All System5S welding PPE is built for industry. The company highlights CE certification and ISO 9001:2015 quality assurance on its flame-resistant suits, meaning each garment meets strict EU/ISO or BIS performance criteria (e.g. EN ISO 11611/11612 for welding/heat). System5S also holds quality certifications (ISO 9001, BIS licencing) and conducts in-house BIS testing. These credentials give procurement managers confidence in compliance.
Durability is engineered in: heavy-duty fabrics (Nomex®/Kevlar blends or FR cotton), triple-stitch seams, reinforced knees/elbows, and robust hardware ensure long service life. For example, System5S coveralls use heavy FR thread and feature extra Nomex® layers at knees and concealed plackets over zippers. Suits are wash-tested (e.g. 50 washes) to ensure lasting performance. Ergonomic details – elasticized waists, bi-swing backs, articulated knees and stretch panels – help wearers move freely even in bulkier FR gear. Together, these elements reduce fatigue and encourage consistent PPE use.
Value for Industry Buyers
For plant managers and safety officers, System5S welding PPE represents value and peace of mind. The gear’s rigorous certifications and high-spec materials justify any cost premium by ensuring liability coverage and minimizing replacements. Ergonomically designed suits and gloves lead to higher worker acceptance and productivity. And because System5S emphasizes quality and compliance BIS LICENSE (CE marked, ISO 9001-certified), buyers know they’re getting gear that truly performs under extreme welding conditions. In short, System5S’s flame-resistant welding suits, gloves, aprons and accessories are engineered to protect welders from every hazard – heat, sparks, UV, molten metal and more – so your team can weld without worry.
