EN 15090:2006

Footwear for firefighters

This standard specifies minimum requirements and test methods for the performance of three types of footwear for use by firefighters for general-purpose rescue, fire rescue and hazardous materials emergencies.
This standard does not cover special personal protective equipment used in high-risk situations (for example, the conditions described in ISO 15538).
NOTE 1   Selection of the type of footwear (see 4.3 and Tables 3 and 4) for firefighters should be made following a comprehensive risk assessment (see Annex A).
NOTE 2      Requirements for slip resistance are not given in the current (2004) edition of EN 13287. CEN TC 161 Working Group 3 is continuing its work to develop slip requirements and introduce them into standards for PPE footwear. It is expected that EN 15090 will be amended as soon as this work is finished.

Schuhe für die Feuerwehr

Diese Norm legt Mindestanforderungen und Prüfverfahren für den Einsatz von drei Typen von Schuhen für Feuerwehrleute fest: Schuhe für allgemeine Nutzung im Feuerwehrdienst, Schuhe für die Brandbekämpfung und für Gefahrstoffeinsätze.
Diese Norm gilt nicht für spezielle persönliche Schutzausrüstung für den Einsatz in Situationen mit sehr hohem Risiko (z. B. Bedingungen nach ISO 15538).
ANMERKUNG 1   Die Auswahl des Typs von Schuhen für Feuerwehrleute (siehe 4.3 und Tabellen 3 und 4) sollte nach einer umfassenden Gefahrenanalyse  erfolgen (siehe Anhang A).
ANMERKUNG 2   Anforderungen für Rutschhemmung sind in der geltenden (2004) Ausgabe von EN 13287 nicht enthalten. Das CEN/TC 161, Arbeitskreis 3, setzt seine Arbeiten für Anforderungen an Rutschhemmung und ihre Einarbeitung in Normen für PSA Schuhwerk fort. Es wird davon ausgegangen, dass unmittelbar nach Abschluss dieser Arbeiten EN 15090 überarbeitet wird.

Chaussures pour pompiers

La présente norme fixe les exigences minimales et les méthodes d'essai permettant de déterminer les
performances de trois types de chaussures destinées aux pompiers, dans le cadre d'opérations générales de
sauvetage, de la lutte contre les incendies et de situations d'urgence en présence de matériaux dangereux.
La présente norme ne traite pas des équipements de protection individuelle spéciaux utilisés dans les
situations à niveau de risque élevé (par exemple, dans les conditions décrites dans l'ISO 15538).
NOTE 1 Il convient que le choix du type de chaussures (voir 4.3 et dans les Tableaux 3 et 4) pour pompiers soit fait à
la suite d'une évaluation complète des risques (voir Annexe A).
NOTE 2 Les exigences relatives à la résistance au glissement ne figurent pas dans l'actuelle édition (2004) de
l'EN 13287. Le groupe de travail 3 du CEN/TC 161 poursuit ses travaux afin d'élaborer des exigences relatives au
glissement et de les introduire dans les normes qui traitent des EPI « chaussures ». Il est prévu d'amender l'EN 15090
dès l'achèvement de ces travaux.

SIST EN 15090:2006

Table 1 — Classification of footwear Code designation Classification I Footwear made from leather and or other materials, excluding all rubber and all polymeric footwear
II All-rubber (i.e. entirely vulcanised) and all-polymeric footwear (i.e. entirely moulded) footwear
4.2 Design Footwear shall conform to one of designs B to E of Figure 3 of EN ISO 20345:2004.
4.3 Type The types of footwear for firefighters shall be as follows: - Type 1 Suitable for general-purpose rescue (example Type 1, HI1), fire suppression (example Type 1, HI2), firefighting suppression action involving a fire in vegetative fuels such as forest (example Type 1, HI3), crops, plantations, grass or farmland. - Type 2
Suitable for fire rescue (example Type 2, HI2), fire suppression, and property conservation in buildings, enclosed structures (example Type 2, HI3), vehicles, vessels, or like properties that are involved in a fire or emergency situation. - Type 3 Hazardous materials emergencies, involving the release or potential release of hazardous chemicals into the environment that can cause loss of life, personnel injury, or damage to property and the environment.
Suitable also for fire rescue, fire suppression, and property conservation in aircraft, buildings, enclosed structures, vehicles, vessels, or like properties that are involved in a fire or emergency situation. 5 Sampling and conditioning The minimum number of samples shall be that specified in Clause 6 of EN ISO 20344:2004, together with the minimum number of test pieces taken from each sample, as given in Table 2. Wherever possible, test pieces shall be taken from the whole footwear unless otherwise stated in this standard. If it is not possible to obtain a large enough test piece from the footwear, then a sample of the material from which the component has been manufactured may be used instead and this shall be noted in the test report. Where samples are required from each of three sizes, these shall comprise the largest, smallest and a middle size of the footwear under test. All test pieces shall be conditioned in a standard atmosphere of (23 + 2) °C and (50 + 5) % relative humidity for a minimum of 48 h before testing, unless otherwise stated in the test method. The maximum time which shall elapse between removal from the conditioning atmosphere and the start of testing shall be not greater than 10 min, unless otherwise stated in the test method. Each test piece shall individually satisfy the specific requirement, unless otherwise stated in the test method. SIST EN 15090:2006
