Introduction
This document concerns garments or assembly of garments providing protection against heat and flame,
with integrated smart textiles and non-textile elements for enhanced health, safety and survival
capabilities.
This document does not concern validating claims that the integrated smart textiles and non-textile
elements substitute directly any protection provided by the garment from a heat and flame perspective.
The integrated smart textiles and non-textile elements may include not only the parts integrated into the
protective garment but also connections to external devices and the data generated and exchanged. It is
not within the scope of this document to evaluate data storage or transmission as well as the connectivity
to the external devices other than the hardware integrated into the garment.
The garments or assembly of garments as a whole will need to fulfil the heat and flame requirements of
EN ISO 11612 and the general clothing requirements EN ISO 13688. The smart elements shall be treated
similarly to hardware when testing according to these two standards.
The purpose of this document is to provide the additional requirements on identifying the need for
additional testing of the smart textiles or non-textile elements and how they should be tested from a heat
and flame perspective. Additional requirements, if applicable, from an electrical/electronic safety
perspective also are addressed. The applicability of the additional requirements will need to be evaluated
depending on the functionality of the smart textiles or non-textile element and its needed efficacy in a
heat and flame risks. At a minimum the smart textiles or non-textile elements should not negatively
impact the protection that the garment intends to fulfil.
This document is complementary to and does not intend to repeat the requirements of EN ISO 11612
and/or EN ISO 13688; to assist the reader it summarises the requirements of EN ISO 11612.
It is essential that the industrial workers using heat and flame personal protective equipment (PPE) and
fire (and rescue) services, or their employers, carry out a risk assessment as well as a compatibility and
ergonomics check of all parts of the PPE (e.g. SCBA, gloves, boots, etc.) to meet the requirements of the
Directive (EC) 89/656 on the minimum health and safety requirements for the use by workers of
personal protective equipment at the workplace. It is essential that workers and maintenance personnel
are trained in the selection, use, care and maintenance of all personal protective equipment including the
smart elements. Guidelines for selection, use, care and maintenance of garments or assembly of garments
with integrated smart textiles and non-textile elements for enhanced health, safety and survival
capabilities (smart garments) protecting against heat and flame are given in CEN/TR 17620.
This document was prepared under the standardization request M/553 as regards advanced garments
and ensembles of garments that provide protection against heat and flame, with integrated smart textiles
and non-textile elements for enhanced health, safety and survival capabilities, in support of Regulations
(EU) No 1007/2011 and (EU) 2016/425 of the European Parliament and of the Council. This document
fulfils the request for (a) European standard(s) in the field of declaration and measurement of properties
and overall performance of advanced garments and ensembles of garments that provide protection
against heat and flame, with integrated smart textiles and non-textile elements for enhanced health,
safety and survival capabilities as stated in Annex II of the standardization request. As this request left it
open to choose how to approach the reply the committee decided to focus (i) on EN ISO 13688 as this
document is an integral part of all PPE product standards for heat and flame protection and (ii) to not
limit the application to only one or two categories of PPE (thus to include CAT III), which is why
EN ISO 11612 rather than ISO 14116 was chosen.

Introduction
This document concerns garments or assembly of garments providing protection against heat and
flame, with integrated smart textiles and non-textile elements for enhanced health, safety and survival
capabilities.
This document does not concern validating claims that the integrated smart textile and non-textile
elements substitute directly any protection provided by the garment from a heat and flame perspective.
The integrated smart textiles and non-textile elements may include not only the parts integrated into
the protective garment but also connections to external devices and the data generated and exchanged.
It is not within the scope of this document to evaluate data storage or transmission as well as the
connectivity to the external devices other than the hardware integrated into the garment.
The garments or assembly of garments as a whole will need to fulfil the heat and flame requirements of
EN ISO 11612 and the general clothing requirements EN ISO 13688. The smart elements shall be
treated similarly to hardware when testing according to these two standards.
The purpose of this document is to provide the additional requirements on identifying the need for
additional testing of the smart textiles or non-textile elements and how they should be tested from a
heat and flame perspective. Additional requirements, if applicable, from an electrical/electronic safety
perspective also are addressed. The applicability of the additional requirements will need to be
evaluated depending on the functionality of the smart textile or non-textile element and its needed
efficacy in a heat and flame risks. At a minimum the smart textile or non-textile elements should not
negatively impact the protection that the garment intends to fulfil.
This document is complementary to and does not intend to repeat the requirements of EN ISO 11612
and/or EN ISO 13688.
It is essential that the industrial workers using heat and flame personal protective equipment (PPE) and
fire (and rescue) services, or their employers, carry out a risk assessment as well as a compatibility and
ergonomics check of all parts of the PPE (e.g. SCBA, gloves, boots, etc.) to meet the requirements of the
Directive (EC) 89/656 on the minimum health and safety requirements for the use by workers of
personal protective equipment at the workplace. It is essential that workers and maintenance
personnel are trained in the selection, use, care and maintenance of all personal protective equipment
including the smart elements. Guidelines for selection, use, care and maintenance of garments or
assembly of garments with integrated smart textiles and non-textile elements for enhanced health,
safety and survival capabilities (smart garments) protecting against heat and flame are given in
CEN/TR 17620.
This document was prepared under the standardization request M/553 as regards advanced garments
and ensembles of garments that provide protection against heat and flame, with integrated smart
textiles and non-textile elements for enhanced health, safety and survival capabilities, in support of
Regulations (EU) No 1007/2011 and (EU) 2016/425 of the European Parliament and of the Council.
This document fulfils the request for (a) European standard(s) in the field of declaration and
measurement of properties and overall performance of advanced garments and ensembles of garments
that provide protection against heat and flame, with integrated smart textiles and non-textile elements
for enhanced health, safety and survival capabilities as stated in Annex II of the standardization request.
As this request left it open to choose the detailed the committee decided to focus (i) on EN ISO 13688 as
this document is an integral part of all PPE product standards for heat and flame protection and (ii) to
not limit the application to only one or two categories of PPE (thus to include CAT III), which is why
EN ISO 11612 rather than ISO 14116 was chosen.

1 Scope
This document applies to garments and assembly of garments providing protection against heat and
flame, with integrated smart textiles and non-textile elements for enhanced health, safety and survival
capabilities.
This document does not concern validating claims that the integrated smart textile and non-textile
elements substitute directly any protection provided by the garment from a heat and flame perspective.
The integrated smart textiles and non-textile elements could include not only the parts integrated into
the protective garment but also connections to transmit the data generated or exchange data with
external devices. It is not within the scope of this document to evaluate either the data storage or
transmission (including connectivity) to the external devices, nor the external devices. This document
evaluates only the smart textiles and non-textile elements integrated into the garment.
This document supplements the requirements of EN ISO 11612 and EN ISO 13688 and does not replace
any of the requirements cited in those documents.
This document sets additional testing and performance requirements linked specifically to the
garments and assembly of garments providing protection against heat and flame, with integrated smart
textiles and non-textile elements for enhanced health, safety and survival capabilities. These additional
requirements will depend on the functionality of the smart textile or non-textile element and its needed
efficacy during heat and flame hazards and risks from an electrical/electronic safety perspective in
these situations.
