Predgovor

Ta dokument (EN 443:2008) je pripravil tehnični odbor CEN/TC 158 "Varovanje glave", katerega

sekretariat vodi BSI.

Ta evropski standard mora dobiti status nacionalnega standarda z objavo istovetnega besedila ali z

razglasitvijo najpozneje do avgusta 2008, nasprotujoče nacionalne standarde pa je treba razveljaviti

najpozneje do avgusta 2008.
Ta dokument nadomešča EN 443:1997.

Ta dokument je bil pripravljen na podlagi mandata, ki sta ga Evropska komisija in Evropsko združenje

za prosto trgovino podelila CEN, in podpira bistvene zahteve direktiv EU.

Za povezavo z direktivami Evropske unije glej dodatek ZA, ki je sestavni del tega dokumenta.

Po notranjih predpisih CEN/CENELEC so dolžne ta evropski standard privzeti nacionalne organizacije

za standarde naslednjih držav: Avstrije, Belgije, Bolgarije, Cipra, Češke republike, Danske, Estonije,

Finske, Francije, Grčije, Irske, Islandije, Italije, Latvije, Litve, Madžarske, Luksemburga, Malte, Nemčije,

Nizozemske, Norveške, Poljske, Portugalske, Romunije, Slovaške, Slovenije, Španije, Švedske, Švice

in Združenega kraljestva.

SIST EN 443 : 2008
Uvod

V ta evropski standard so vključene minimalne zahteve za čelade, ki ščitijo spodnji del obraza in vrat.

Zahteve za druge izdelke, ki ščitijo spodnji del obraza in vrat, so vključene tudi v drugih evropskih

standardih. Ta evropski standard dopušča možnosti za upoštevanje nekaterih dodatnih zahtev.

Ta evropski standard obravnava dva tipa čelad: tip A in tip B. Tip čelade in morebitna druga oprema naj

se izbereta na podlagi celovite ocene tveganja.
Dodatek A podaja informativni seznam nevarnosti.

Gasilci naj bodo usposobljeni za uporabo, nego in vzdrževanje čelad, obravnavanih v tem evropskem

standardu, ter naj poznajo morebitne omejitve.
---------------------- Page: 10 ----------------------
SIST EN 443 : 2008
1 Področje uporabe

Ta evropski standard določa minimalne zahteve za gasilske čelade, ki ščitijo zgornji del glave predvsem

pred posledicami udarca, preboja, vročine in plamena med gašenjem v stavbah in drugih zgradbah.
