FR Crewneck Antistatic Shirt
The Bizflame Knit FR Long Sleeve T-Shirt combines flame-resistant clothing performance with antistatic fabric for assessed industrial work. This FR crewneck shirt uses a breathable, 99% cotton and 1% carbon fiber interlock knit. Portwest lists CAT 2 performance and an ASTM F1959 ATPV of 10 cal/cm².
Raglan sleeves allow comfortable arm movement, while flame-resistant ribbed cuffs help keep sleeves in position. Concealed chest and sleeve pockets provide storage, including a pencil stall. The knit shirt can be selected as part of a compatible protective clothing system; it is not an insulated outer jacket.

Manufacturer-Listed Standards
The Portwest FR33 specification sheet PDF lists NFPA 2112, NFPA 70E, ASTM F1506, EN ISO 11612 A1+A2, B1, C1, F1 and EN 1149-5.
Its ASTM F1959 result is ATPV 10 cal/cm². Separately, the EN/IEC arc-testing entry lists ELIM 13 and ATPV 15 cal/cm². Keep each result paired with its test method; do not substitute a higher figure when selecting PPE for an ASTM-based program. Verify the supplied garment label against your workplace requirements.
OSHA Requirements and Protection Limits
OSHA 29 CFR 1910.335(a)(1)(i) requires electrical protective equipment appropriate to the hazards and exposed body parts. For covered electric-power work, 1910.269(l)(8) addresses arc and flame protection.
Selection depends on the hazard assessment, required coverage and complete PPE system. Antistatic performance does not provide electrical shock insulation. NFPA 70E is a workplace safety standard, not a standalone garment certification.
Fit and Care
Check the Size Chart tab and available ordering options. Allow movement without compromising sleeve coverage. Follow the sewn care label; inspect cuffs, seams and fabric before reuse. Remove damaged or contaminated garments according to your workplace program.
FAQ
- Is this a heavy sweater? Portwest identifies FR33 as a knit long-sleeve T-shirt.
- Can I add individual arc ratings when layering? No. A layered system needs its own substantiated rating.
- Does CAT 2 make every electrical task safe? No. Task hazards and the complete PPE system determine suitability.
- Is it fireproof? No. Flame resistance does not eliminate burn hazards.
- Does antistatic mean electronics ESD certified? No. EN 1149-5 does not establish electronics ESD garment certification.
- Can ordinary clothing replace required FR layers? No. Follow the clothing requirements established for the work.
