Women’s ESD Work Pants for Electronics Assembly
Portwest AS12 women’s anti-static ESD work pants are designed for electronics production and component handling within an established electrostatic-discharge-control program. These women’s trousers combine polyester, cotton, and conductive carbon fiber with storage for assembly, inspection, and repair tasks. ASA SKU SA12 offers sizes S through 4X.
Portwest designs AS12 specifically for women’s fit. A half-elasticated waist accommodates movement, while six pockets include two side, two back, and two cargo pockets. The anti-scratch design has no exposed metal parts, helping avoid contact between hardware and handled products.

ESD Standards and OSHA Guidance
Portwest lists EN 1149-5 and EN 61340-5-1, describing AS12 as tested to EN 61340-5-1. Confirm the supplied garment label against your facility’s specification. Anti-static properties alone do not establish a ESD-control system or guarantee that components cannot be damaged.
Use these trousers with the personnel grounding, flooring, footwear, workstations, testing, and training required by your ESD program. Obtain facility approval before changing clothing combinations or introducing altered garments.
OSHA 29 CFR 1910.132 addresses workplace hazard assessment and PPE selection. OSHA 1910.335 addresses protective equipment for electrical hazards. Neither provision makes AS12 electrical-insulating clothing. No arc rating, flame resistance, or cleanroom classification is claimed.
Care, Fit, and Repeat Orders
Follow the sewn-in label. Portwest permits washing up to 60°C, prohibits bleach, and lists low-temperature tumble drying or line drying. Ironing up to 150°C and normal professional dry cleaning are listed. A washable garment is not automatically approved for every industrial laundry process.
Check waist and hip fit, inseam, and leg movement before ordering a crew assortment. Keep hems clear of walking surfaces. Inspect for damage and follow facility verification and replacement procedures; no fixed wash-cycle lifespan is claimed here.
For repeat purchases, record the AS12 model and each worker’s selected size. Review garment suitability when job duties change, particularly when moving from component assembly into maintenance involving exposed energized equipment or hazards.
