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.

according to Tables C.1 and C.2.
If exposure to wet conditions is expected, EN 343 applies.
1 Scope

4 Performance assessment and requirements
4.1 General requirements and innocuousness
4.1.1 General requirements
When tested in accordance with 6.2.1 the following requirements shall be met:
— the garment shall not have rough, sharp or hard surfaces that may irritate or injure the user;
— the jacket/coat or coverall shall be closable up to the collar or neckband;
— the jacket/coat shall be long enough to cover the tops of the trousers;
— external pockets intended to be used in wet conditions (see 4.4) shall be closable;
— closures, such as slide fasteners, fasteners, buttons etc. shall not open inadvertently;
— slide fasteners shall lock when completely closed.
NOTE Waistcoats can be lengthened at the back to protect the kidney region against the effects of cool
environment.
4.1.2 Innocuousness
!When tested in accordance with 6.2.2 the requirements of EN ISO 13688:2013,
EN ISO 13688:2013/A1:2021, 4.2, shall be met with regard to innocuousness."

NOTE The maximum level of protection is given when the thermal insulation is adapted to the ambient
temperature and the activity level (examples are given in Annex C). In this case the wearer is in a thermally
neutral state. A too high thermal insulation leads to excessive sweating and wetting the garments. As a
consequence the effective thermal insulation of the garment is lowered.
Garments containing materials with a thermal resistance above 0,25 m K/W shall comply with 4.6.
4.3 Air permeability, AP
If the information supplied by the manufacturer indicates that the garment may be used outdoors, the
air permeability shall be classified in accordance with Table 2, when the material of the garment is

Die Norm EN 14058:2017+A1:2023 legt spezifische Anforderungen und Prüfmethoden für die Leistung von Schutzkleidung fest, die vor den Auswirkungen kühler Umgebungen oberhalb von −5 °C schützt. Dabei berücksichtigt die Norm nicht nur niedrige Lufttemperaturen, sondern auch Faktoren wie Luftfeuchtigkeit und Luftgeschwindigkeit, die entscheidend für die thermische Behaglichkeit und Sicherheit der Träger sind. Ein wesentlicher Stärke dieser Norm ist die detaillierte Beschreibung der Prüfmethoden, die sicherstellen, dass die Schutzkleidung unter realistischen Bedingungen getestet wird. Durch die klare Definition von Anforderungen trägt die Norm dazu bei, die Qualität und Effektivität von Garments für den Schutz gegen kühle Umgebungen zu gewährleisten, wodurch sie für Hersteller und Anwender gleichermaßen von hoher Relevanz ist. Es ist auch bemerkenswert, dass die Norm den Schutz vor den Auswirkungen von kalten Umgebungen klar abgrenzt, indem sie kaltes Schutzensemble und diverse Schutzzubehörteile, wie Fußbekleidung, Handschuhe und separate Kopfbedeckungen, ausdrücklich aus dem Anwendungsbereich ausschließt. Diese Fokussierung auf Bekleidung ermöglicht eine gezielte Entwicklung und Verbesserung von Produkten, die den spezifischen Anforderungen der Nutzer in kühlen Umgebungen gerecht werden. Insgesamt bietet die EN 14058:2017+A1:2023 einen wichtigen Referenzstandard für die Sicherheits- und Funktionsfähigkeit von Schutzkleidung in kalten Umgebungen und stellt sicher, dass diese Kleidungsstücke den notwendigen Schutz bieten, um den Herausforderungen von Minusgraden und ungünstigen Witterungsbedingungen standzuhalten.
SIST EN 14058:2018+A1:2023 표준은 차가운 환경으로부터 보호하기 위한 의류에 대한 요구사항과 시험 방법을 명확하게 규정하고 있어, 산업 및 안전 의류 분야에서 중요한 역할을 합니다. 이 표준은 -5 °C 이상에서의 차가운 환경의 영향으로부터 보호하기 위한 의복의 성능에 대한 요구사항을 설정하며, 이에 따라 다양한 환경에서 인간의 안전을 보장하는 데 필수적입니다. SIST EN 14058:2018+A1:2023의 강점은 다양한 환경적 요인, 즉 낮은 기온, 습도 및 공기 속도를 모두 고려하여 의류의 성능을 종합적으로 평가할 수 있다는 점입니다. 이러한 포괄적인 접근은 사용자에게 최적의 보호를 제공하며, 이를 통해 근로자의 안전성을 높이는 데 기여합니다. 특히, 이 표준은 차가운 환경에서 작업하는 근로자들에게 필요한 보호 장비의 기준을 제시하므로, 실질적인 안전 대책을 마련하는 데 필수적입니다. 또한, SIST EN 14058:2018+A1:2023는 별도의 신발, 장갑 및 머리 보호구에 대한 요구사항을 제외하여, 차가운 환경에 노출되는 의복에 집중한 점도 주목할 만합니다. 이는 특정 환경에 최적화된 보호 솔루션을 개발할 수 있는 기회를 제공하여, 산업 별 맞춤형 안전 장비의 발전을 촉진합니다. 결론적으로, SIST EN 14058:2018+A1:2023 표준은 차가운 환경에서 작업하는 사람들을 위한 의류 보호의 필수적인 지침이자 기준을 제공하며, 이로 인해 안전 산업에서의 중요성이 더욱 높아질 것입니다.
EN 14058:2017+A1:2023の標準は、冷環境からの保護を目的とした衣類に関する重要なガイドラインを提供するものです。このヨーロッパ標準は、−5 °C以上の冷環境における衣類の性能に関する要求事項および試験方法を明確に規定しています。特に、低温だけでなく、湿度や風速といった要因も考慮されており、衣類がどのようにこれらの要素から身体を保護するかに重点を置いています。 この標準の大きな強みは、その適用範囲の明確さです。冷たい環境において必要な衣類の性能基準を詳細に設定しているため、製造者やユーザーがそれに基づいた選定や製品開発を行いやすくなっています。さらに、具体的なテスト方法が記載されていることで、製品の検証が可能であり、信頼性の高い保護性能を確保する助けとなります。 ただし、冷気からの保護服の組み合わせや、靴、手袋、別の頭部被覆の保護効果に関してはこの標準の範囲外であるため、これらの要素については別途考慮が必要です。したがって、EN 14058は、特に冷環境で働く人々にとって必要不可欠な指針を提供し、衣類の選定や安全基準の設定において重要な役割を果たしています。この標準の適切な活用により、冷環境での作業環境の安全性が向上し、使用者の健康や快適性が守られることが期待されます。
La norme EN 14058:2017+A1:2023 établit des exigences claires et des méthodes d'essai pour les vêtements de protection destinés à protéger contre les environnements frais, en particulier lorsque les températures dépassent -5 °C. Ce cadre normatif se distingue par sa pertinence dans le secteur de l'habillement de protection, car il aborde non seulement les températures ambiantes basses, mais aussi des facteurs environnementaux cruciaux tels que l'humidité et la vitesse de l'air. Un des points forts de cette norme est son approche globale, qui permet d'évaluer la performance des vêtements en tenant compte des conditions réelles d'utilisation. En excluant les ensembles de protection contre le froid et les exigences relatives à des équipements comme les chaussures, les gants et les couvre-chefs, la norme se concentre spécifiquement sur les vêtements, ce qui permet de clarifier les exigences et de simplifier le processus d'évaluation pour les fabricants et utilisateurs. La norme EN 14058:2017+A1:2023 est extrêmement pertinente pour les industries qui nécessitent des solutions vestimentaires adaptées aux environnements frais, qu'il s'agisse de secteurs tels que la construction, l'agriculture, ou encore les services d'urgence.
