PURE SCIENCE · MULTINORM WORKWEAR-AS-A-SERVICE

Protectiveworkwearmatchedtoyoursiterisks

Multinorm workwear-as-a-service for chemical and pharmaceutical operations where limited splash risks may overlap with heat, flame, electrostatic discharge or arc exposure.

Risk-fit first

Garments selected based on site substances, exposure scenarios and relevant standards

Compliance in use

Professional laundering, repair, replacement and re-impregnation help keep eligible garments available and wearable

Less internal handling

Collection, delivery, repair, replacement and size changes are managed through the CWS Workwear service model

WHY IT MATTERS

When engineering controls reach their limit, workwear becomes the final managed barrier

Chemical and pharmaceutical sites are designed to reduce exposure through closed systems, ventilation, automation, permits and safe operating procedures. But residual risk remains wherever workers still need to inspect, sample, clean, connect, disconnect, maintain or respond.

In those moments, workwear is not just PPE. It becomes part of the safety process, the compliance file and the daily workflow – helping protect people, output and operational continuity

Selected for actual substances and exposure scenarios

Managed across the full garment lifecycle

Built to support safety, compliance and continuity

Standard	Protection area	What this means for your site
EN 13034 Type 6 (base)	Limited liquid chemical splash protection	Supports defined limited splash scenarios, but does not replace substance-specific assessment or provide a full chemical barrier
EN ISO 11612	Heat and flame	Relevant where heat or flame hazards are part of the site risk profile
EN 1149-5	Electrostatic properties	Helps manage electrostatic dissipation where static discharge is a defined risk
IEC / EN 61482-2	Arc flash	Relevant where electrical work or plant infrastructure creates arc flash exposure risk
EN ISO 11611 Class 1	Light welding protection	Relevant where light welding tasks are part of the operational risk profile
EN ISO 20471	High visibility	Supports certified visibility in higher-risk operational areas
EN 17353	Enhanced visibility	Supports enhanced visibility depending on the garment line, workplace conditions and intended use

HIGH-VALUE USE CASES

Focus first on tasks where residual exposure is real

Managed multinorm workwear is especially relevant for tasks where workers are close to substances, residues, connection points, contamination risks or ignition hazards.

Maintenance, shutdowns and line-breaking
When opening systems or handling residues can change the exposure profile quickly
Loading, unloading and waste handling
Where splash, residue and transfer risks need to be managed across routine workflows
Charging, dosing and mixing
When workers operate near vessels, additives, powders, solvents or corrosive materials
Hot-work and ignition-risk areas
Where limited splash risks may overlap with heat, flame or arc exposure
Sampling and laboratory work
Where quantities may be small, but contact frequency and contamination transfer risk can be high
Controlled pharmaceutical environments
Where workwear supports hygiene, consistency and operational control

ENGINEERED, TESTED AND MAINTAINED

The science behind protective performance

CWS Workwear combines material expertise, substance-specific assessment, testing capabilities and industrial laundry processes to help keep protective workwear reliable in daily use.

Material science
Modacrylic, aramid and Nomex® fibres are selected for properties such as flame resistance, heat resistance, strength and wearability.
Continuous testing
Garment performance is assessed based on defined test conditions, material behaviour and relevant exposure scenarios on site.
Re-impregnation
Protective clothing is re-impregnated during every wash cycle. On average, garments go through five rinse cycles; during the final rinse, fluorocarbon is added, and the protective layer is restored during drying at 170°C.
Innovation Lab
Through dedicated testing and innovation capabilities, CWS Workwear validates materials, garment performance and reprocessing standards before workwear enters daily use.

COMPLIANCE THAT STAYS IN CIRCULATION

The right garment on day one is not enough

Protective workwear has to remain reliable in daily use. CWS Workwear supports chemical and pharmaceutical sites with garment selection, professional laundering, inspection, re-impregnation, repair, replacement and size-change handling, helping keep the right PPE available, wearable and aligned with site requirements.

01 Site exposure assessment

We look at your substances, exposure scenarios and operational routines – so garment selection is based on your actual site profile, workplace conditions and protection needs.

02 Multinorm garment selection

Together, we define the relevant standard stack for your site, from limited splash protection to heat, flame, electrostatic or arc exposure where required by the risk profile.

03 Professional laundering and repair

Garments are professionally laundered, inspected and repaired throughout the service cycle. Protective clothing is re-impregnated during every wash cycle to help restore the protective layer and keep garments ready for reliable use.

04 Replacement and size changes

Collection, delivery, replacements and size changes are handled as part of the service model, reducing internal admin for plant teams and helping keep the right PPE in circulation

Flexibility needed? We’ve got you covered.

Choosing a long-term service partner is a significant decision – especially when workwear needs to support safety, compliance and day-to-day operations across chemical or pharmaceutical sites.

CWS Workwear offers flexible service contracts with transparent terms and adjustable durations. This helps you adapt to changing team sizes, site requirements and garment needs while keeping the right PPE in circulation.
