Frequently asked questions
Answers about the workwear we sell, how to choose a size, how to wash the garments and what certifications mean.
What does ESTEPA sell?
Technical workwear: coveralls, shirts, trousers, jackets and vests for mining, oil and gas, and industry. The catalogue is organised by sector, type of protection and standard.
What does it mean that a garment is certified?
A certification is an independent laboratory test that verifies the fabric meets a measurable standard (NFPA, UL, ASTM, EN ISO). It is not a decorative logo: it is proof the garment was evaluated for a specific risk.
How do I choose the right size?
Each product page has a size assistant. Enter chest, waist, hip and arm length in centimetres — body measurements, not garment dimensions — and we recommend a size with workwear ease. The chart is in centimetres only.
How should flame-resistant garments be washed?
Inside out, in cold water or at 30 °C, without chlorine or residue-leaving softeners. Air dry or tumble on low, and never iron over retroreflective tapes. Each garment lists its care on the product page and in the size assistant.
Do the standards apply to every garment?
No. Each garment publishes the standards on its sheet: NFPA 2112, NFPA 70E, ASTM F1506, EN ISO 11612, EN 1149-5 and others, depending on the model.
What is the difference between the three lines?
Mining is built for visibility and abrasion on long shifts. Oil and gas uses certified FR apparel (cotton/nylon and inherent aramid). Work and industry covers daily use plus hi-vis and rain suits.
How do I request a quote?
Add garments to the cart or write to us from Contact. An advisor confirms availability, lead times and price. Website requests are not a confirmed purchase until that confirmation.
Do you ship nationwide?
Yes. We cover the whole country, with a focus on mining and energy basins. If your operation is in another province, we assess the case by volume and project needs.
Can garments be customised with a company logo?
Yes. Embroidery or corporate identification is quoted separately and the conditions are clarified before the order is confirmed.
