This European Standard provides guidance on the generic ergonomic characteristics related to personal protective equipment (PPE).
It specifies for the writers of PPE product standards, principles relating to:
anthropometric characteristics related to PPE;
the biomechanical interaction between PPE and the human body;
the thermal interaction between PPE and the human body;
the interaction between PPE and the human senses: vision; hearing; smell and taste; and skin contact.
This European Standard does not cover requirements related to the specific hazard for which PPE is designed.

Diese Europäische Norm enthält einen Leitfaden zu den allgemeinen ergonomischen Eigenschaften persönlicher Schutzausrüstungen (PSA).
Sie macht Angaben zulegt Grundsätzen für die Verfasser von Produktnormen im Bereich PSA fest:
zu anthropometrischen Eigenschaften in Bezug auf PSA;
zur biomechanischen Interaktion zwischen PSA und dem menschlichen Körper;
zur thermischen Interaktion zwischen PSA und dem menschlichen Körper;
zur Interaktion zwischen PSA und den menschlichen Sinnen: Sehen, Hören, Riechen und Schmecken sowie Berührungsempfinden.
Diese Europäische Norm enthält keine Anforderungen bezüglich der spezifischen Gefährdung, gegen die die PSA bestimmungsgemäß schützen soll.

La présente Norme européenne fournit des recommandations sur les caractéristiques ergonomiques génériques des équipements de protection individuelle (EPI).
Elle spécifie à l’intention des rédacteurs de normes de produits sur les EPI, des principes en rapport avec :
- les caractéristiques anthropométriques liées aux EPI ;
- l’interaction biomécanique entre l’EPI et le corps humain ;
- l’interaction thermique entre l’EPI et le corps humain ;
- l’interaction entre l’EPI et les 5 sens : la vue, l’ouïe, l’odorat, le goût et le toucher.
