Introduction This standard specifies the minimum safety requirements and test methods for a firehood worn by a firefighter following a user risk assessment. When worn with protective clothing, breathing apparatus and helmet, the design features and performance requirements of the firehood are intended to provide protection to the exposed areas of the head and neck against heat and flame. Firehoods can be used in different end uses, both over and underneath the facemask and with different shapes of helmets. It is the user’s responsibility to choose the right firehood appropriate to the garment, helmet, and facemask recommended by the hood manufacturer. SIST EN 13911:2017
