ATEX Trousers: the certified collection for working in explosion-risk zones
In an explosion-risk zone, poorly chosen ATEX trousers directly expose the wearer to burns, electrostatic discharge or triggering an explosion. Every item in this collection is certified compliant with the applicable EN standards for explosive atmospheres. Whether you work in petrochemicals, refining, industrial maintenance, welding or energy, you will find the model suited to your workstation. Browse our full collection of ATEX trousers to identify the protection you need.
Which ATEX trousers to choose based on your role and working environment
The right ATEX trousers depend first and foremost on your trade and the hazards present on your site. Here are the main usage profiles to guide you quickly, without unnecessary theory.
- Welder: choose trousers protecting against molten metal splashes, compliant with EN ISO 11611, ideal for welding and cutting workstations.
- Electrical maintenance technician: opt for arc flash protection compliant with IEC 61482-2, essential near live electrical installations.
- Petrochemical and refining operator: choose a multi-risk model combining heat, chemical and antistatic protection in a single garment.
- Night work or industrial roadwork: go for high-visibility ATEX trousers to remain visible while staying protected.
Whatever your role, the baseline remains the same. All trousers in the collection incorporate antistatic protection EN 1149-5, a non-negotiable requirement in ATEX zones. This baseline guarantees that the garment dissipates electrostatic charges that could cause a spark.
Also consider the ergonomics of your workstation. Models with knee pockets are suited to frequent kneeling tasks (welding, pipework), while a model without knee pockets offers greater lightness for mobile workstations. In terms of colour, navy blue, grey or multi-risk denim remain a practical choice for concealing dirt — never a compromise on protection. To complete upper-body coverage, discover our ATEX-certified multi-purpose jackets.
The standards that guarantee the compliance of your ATEX trousers
Each standard represents a concrete guarantee for you and for the company equipping you. Here is what they actually deliver in the field.
- EN 1149-5: your trousers dissipate electrostatic charges that could trigger an explosion in a hazardous atmosphere. This is the baseline standard for any ATEX trousers.
- EN ISO 11612: you are protected against heat and flames in the event of prolonged contact.
- EN ISO 11611: you benefit from dedicated protection for welding work and molten metal splashes.
- EN 13034 type PB6: you are covered against liquid chemical splashes.
- IEC 61482-2: you are protected against the thermal effects of an electric arc.
Every Cepovett Safety trouser clearly displays its compliance standards, sparing you any regulatory mistake at the point of purchase. Need to check a specific requirement? Consult our dedicated article on the EN 1149-5 anti-static standard to frame your need.
Single-risk or multi-risk ATEX trousers: what difference does it make to your safety
Multi-risk trousers combine several standards in a single garment, sparing you the need to layer protective clothing. The benefit is immediate: fewer garments to manage, a single investment covering multiple hazards simultaneously (heat, chemicals, antistatic). On a site where your teams face combined risks, the multi-standard models in the collection simplify equipping and secure every intervention.
Comfort, durability and maintenance: what a Cepovett Safety ATEX trouser guarantees
A protective garment no longer needs to be rigid and uncomfortable. Our ATEX trousers combine technical fabrics such as cotton, modacrylic and antistatic fibre, delivering a genuine balance between resistance and wearing comfort throughout a full working day. Fabric weights, generally between 260 and 320 grams per square metre, are matched to the required protection level.
Durability is a key factor for your budget. Our trousers withstand repeated industrial laundering, with high-temperature washing over dozens of cycles, without losing their protective properties. You keep a compliant garment over the long term, not just on the first day.
Tip : Always give preference to models with no exposed metal parts. The absence of metal eliminates any spark risk in ATEX zones — a genuine quality differentiator on models designed for explosive atmospheres.
In terms of sizing, the collection broadly covers S to 3XL, or T0 to T6 depending on the range, to equip all body types in your teams. For kneeling workstations, consider pairing suitable technical knee pads with your knee-pocket trousers.
Good to know : Every trouser in the collection is delivered with its technical datasheets and certificates of conformity. You thus have clear supporting documentation for your safety audits and regulatory obligations.
