Finding the right welding jacket is critical for safety and legal compliance. This guide covers everything before buying a CE certified welding jacket in Europe.
Why CE Certification Matters
In the EU, protective workwear must meet strict standards. CE certified jackets protect against:
- Flame and heat (EN ISO 11611)
- Radiant heat and molten metal (EN ISO 11612)
- Electrostatic discharge (EN 1149)
EN ISO 11611 — Class 1 vs Class 2
Class 2 provides the highest protection for professional MIG, TIG and electrode welding. KAIN WHILLS GEFEST-420 is Class 2 certified by AITEX (Spain).
What to Look For
- Fabric weight: 380-500 g/m2 is ideal for welding
- Stitching: Kevlar or steel thread prevents seam failure
- Fit: Must cover waist when bending
- Pockets: Secure tool pockets are essential
