Protective clothing for firefighters - Performance requirements for protective clothing for firefighting
This European Standard specifies minimum levels of performance requirements for protective clothing to be worn during firefighting operations and associated activities such as e.g. rescue work, assistance during disasters. The described clothing is not meant to protect against chemical and/or gas cleaning operations.
This European Standard covers the general clothing design, the minimum performance levels of the materials used, and the methods of test to be used to determine these performance levels. The required performance levels may be achieved by the use of one or more garments.
This European Standard covers the event of an accidental splash of chemical or flammable liquids but does not cover special clothing for use in other high-risk situations e.g. reflective protective clothing. It does not cover protection for the head, hands and feet or protection against other hazards e.g. chemical, biological, radiological and electrical hazards. These aspects may be covered in other European Standards.
Schutzkleidung für die Feuerwehr - Leistungsanforderungen für Schutzkleidung für die Brandbekämpfung
Dieses Dokument legt die Mindestanforderungen an Schutzkleidung fest, die bei der Brandbekämpfung und damit verbundenen Tätigkeiten wie z. B. Rettungsarbeiten bzw. Hilfeleistung bei Katastrophen getragen werden soll. Diese Bekleidung bietet keinen hinreichenden Schutz für Gefahrstoffeinsätze.
In diesem Dokument wird die allgemeine Ausführung der Kleidung, die grundlegenden Leistungsstufen der verwendeten Materialien sowie die bei der Bestimmung dieser Leistungsstufen anzuwendenden Prüfverfahren aufgeführt. Die erforderlichen Leistungsstufen können durch Verwendung eines oder mehrerer Kleidungs-stücke erreicht werden.
Dieses Dokument deckt zwar auch Gefährdungen durch zufällige Spritzer von flüssigen Chemikalien oder brennbaren Flüssigkeiten ab, umfasst jedoch nicht spezielle Kleidung, die in anderen hochgefährdeten Einsatzbereichen, z. B. reflektierende Schutzkleidung, Verwendung finden. Dieses Dokument umfasst auch nicht den Schutz von Kopf, Händen und Füßen oder den Schutz vor anderen Gefährdungen, z. B. chemischen, biologischen, elektrischen und Strahlungsgefährdungen. Für entsprechende PSA existieren andere Normen.

La présente norme spécifie les niveaux minimum d'exigences de performance relatives aux vetements de protection devant etre portés lors d'interventions de lutte contre l'incendie et d'activités associées telles que par exemple les opérations de secours, l'assistance apportée durant les catastrophes. Ces types de vetements ne sont pas conçus pour apporter une protection contre les opérations de décontamination chimique et/ou de gaz.
La présente norme couvre la conception générale des vetements, les niveaux de performance minimale des matériaux utilisés ainsi que les méthodes d'essai a utiliser pour déterminer ces niveaux de performance. L'utilisation d'un ou de plusieurs articles d'habillement peut permettre d'obtenir les niveaux de performance requis.
La présente norme couvre la protection contre la projection accidentelle de liquides chimiques ou inflammables mais ne couvre pas les vetements spéciaux destinés a etre utilisés dans des situations a risques élevés, par exemple les vetements de protection aluminisés. Elle ne couvre pas non plus la protection de la tete, des mains et des pieds, ni la protection contre d'autres types de dangers, par exemple chimiques, biologiques, radiologiques et électriques. Ces aspects peuvent etre traités dans d'autres normes.

Introduction
The purpose of this European Standard is to provide minimum performance requirements for protective clothing for
firefighters, whilst fighting fires. Within this European Standard, two performance levels are given for performance
requirements 6.2, 6.3, 6.11 and 6.12 - level 1 is the lower level, level 2, the higher level. The level of personal
protection chosen should be based on the outcome of a risk assessment. Annex G lists many of the hazards that may
be encountered by firefighters and sets out guidelines for carrying out a risk assessment analysis.
During an incident, hazards other than those against which clothing to this European Standard is intended to protect
may be encountered e.g. chemical, biological, radiological, and electrical. If the risk assessment identifies that
exposure to such hazards is likely, protection by more appropriate personal protective equipment may be required
either instead of or in addition to the protective clothing covered by this European Standard.
In this European Standard, some requirements have an influence on ergonomics and additional informative annexes
on ergonomic features and physiological / heat stress hazards are included in the form of guidelines because suitable
tests for these requirements have not yet been validated internationally. It is important that further requirements for
ergonomic aspects of protective clothing become integrated normative parts of European standards such as this and
currently work on this is taking place.
The requirement regarding water vapour resistance in 6.12, level 1, is proposed for an amendment (procedure).
For adequate overall protection against the risks to which firefighters are likely to be exposed, additional personal
protective equipment to protect the head, face, hands and feet should also be worn, along with appropriate respiratory
protection where necessary.
The specified controlled laboratory tests used to determine compliance with the performance requirements of this
European Standard do not replicate the situations to which firefighting personnel may be exposed.
This European Standard sets minimum levels of performance requirements. Nothing in this European Standard is
intended to restrict any jurisdiction, purchaser or manufacturer from exceeding these minimum requirements.
NOTE It is essential that firefighters are trained in the selection, use, care and maintenance of all personal protective
equipment. Attention is drawn to CEN/TR 14560:2003, which sets out guidelines for selection, use, care and maintenance of
protective clothing against heat and flame.

1 Scope
This European Standard specifies minimum levels of performance requirements for protective clothing to be worn
during firefighting operations and associated activities such as e.g. rescue work, assistance during disasters. The
described clothing is not meant to protect against deliberate chemical and/or gas cleaning operations.
This European Standard covers the general clothing design, the minimum performance levels of the materials used,
and the methods of test to be used to determine these performance levels. The required performance levels may be
achieved by the use of one or more garments.
This European Standard covers the event of an accidental splash of chemical or flammable liquids but does not cover
special clothing for use in other high-risk situations e.g. reflective protective clothing. It does not cover protection for
the head, hands and feet or protection against other hazards e.g. chemical, biological, radiological and electrical
hazards. These aspects may be covered in other European Standards.
