Introduction
In many cases single garments are placed on the market to protect against local body cooling (for
ensembles see EN 342). These garments can be e.g. waistcoats, jackets, coats or trousers and/or
separable thermal linings. They can provide a certain degree of protection to cool environment for a
certain length of time, depending e.g. on the personal constitution and activity, the accompanying
clothing and the environmental features (wind speed, temperature, humidity). In critical situations
(e.g. combination of cold, moisture and wind, long exposure duration, no help nearby) it is important to
assess the cold protection properties of the garment (see Annex C), especially if the user cannot safely
identify the risk at moderate low temperatures above −5 °C in an appropriate time.
At moderate low temperatures above −5 °C garments against local body cooling are not only used for
outdoor activities e.g. in construction industry but can be used for indoor activities e.g. in food
processing industry. In these cases garments often do not need to be made of watertight or air
impermeable materials. Therefore, in this European Standard, these requirements are applicable if the
manufacturer claims in his instructions for use protection for hazards covered by these properties.
The resultant effective thermal insulation value I can be used to assess temperature ranges
cler
according to Tables C.1 and C.2.
If exposure to wet conditions is expected, EN 343 applies.
