Welding Clothing PPE

Essential PPE for welders includes welding visors or masks with filter, thermal protective gloves, heat and spark resistant clothing (such as lab coats, jackets and trousers made of flame retardant materials), safety footwear with reinforced toecaps and heat protection, and aprons or sleeves for additional protection. This equipment must meet the requirements of European safety standards, such as EN ISO 11611, which defines the minimum protective standards for welding clothing. RAG Tailors offers complete PPE solutions for welding that are highly durable, comfortable and compliant with regulatory requirements.

To choose the right clothing for welding activities, it is important to consider the type of welding (MIG, TIG, electric arc, etc.), the work environment (indoor or outdoor), and the duration of exposure to risk. Clothing must be made from flame retardant materials, such as treated twill or flame retardant fabrics certified to EN ISO 11611 and/or EN ISO 11612. It must offer thermal protection, mechanical resistance and comfort for movement. Models with reinforcements in critical areas increase durability. RAG Tailors offers a range of PPE welding clothing designed for different levels of exposure, ensuring superior protection and performance.

The main differences between welding clothing models include the type of fabric used, level of thermal protection, ergonomic design and compliance with safety certifications. Some models offer ventilation, reinforced pockets and adjustments at the cuffs and ankles, which improve functionality. RAG Tailors stands out for its combination of technical quality with the option of customization, including embroidery and screen printing, which can be requested by email. In addition, the products follow high manufacturing standards, being ideal for demanding professionals and companies that value protection and corporate image.

Proper maintenance of welding clothing extends its useful life and preserves its protective properties. The garments should be washed according to the instructions on the label, avoiding aggressive detergents or softeners that may compromise the flame retardant treatment. It is not recommended to dry in the sun or expose them to direct sources of extreme heat. The clothing should be replaced as soon as it shows visible wear, holes or loss of functionality. RAG Tailors models are made from highly resistant materials and are prepared for multiple industrial washes without losing protection.

Not all protective clothing is suitable for all types of welding. Some processes, such as electric arc welding or coated electrode welding, generate more sparks and heat than TIG welding, requiring clothing with higher levels of protection. Therefore, it is essential to check the classification of the garment (Class 1 or Class 2 according to EN ISO 11611) and choose the model most suited to the intensity and type of work. RAG Tailors offers a wide range of products adapted to different contexts and needs of the welder, always focusing on safety and comfort.

Welding PPE clothing must comply with standards such as EN ISO 11611, which specifies requirements for protection against small splashes of molten metal and brief contact with flame, and EN ISO 11612, which is suitable where there are additional thermal risks. Other applicable standards include EN 1149 (anti-static protection) and EN 61482 (protection against electric arc). All RAG Tailors products are accompanied by clear labels and certifications, ensuring compliance with current safety regulations and ensuring the user has confidence and effective protection in the workplace.

Yes, it is possible to personalise welding workwear with logos, names or other visual elements through embroidery, printing or screen printing. This service is provided by RAG Tailors and can be requested by email with the references and desired image. The average delivery time for personalised orders is 10 to 15 working days. This option allows you to reinforce your corporate identity without compromising the functionality or compliance of the PPE with safety standards. All models are adapted to support personalisation without affecting the strength of the fabrics.
