(Main)Footwear for firefighters
Footwear for firefighters
This document specifies minimum requirements and test methods for the performance of three types (see 4.3) of footwear for use by firefighters for fire suppression, general-purpose rescue, fire rescue and hazardous materials emergencies. It also specifies requirements for footwear for firefighters equipped with customized insocks and customized footwear for firefighters. This document does not cover the property of high visibility because of interaction with the clothing (e.g. trousers cover the footwear and vice versa) and work area conditions (e.g. dirt, mud).
Special risks are covered by complementary job-related standards (e.g. electrically insulating footwear, protection against chain saw injuries, protection against molten metal splash).
Schuhe für die Feuerwehr
Dieses Dokument legt Mindestanforderungen und Prüfverfahren für die Leistung von drei Typen von Schuhen für Feuerwehrleute (siehe 4.3) fest: Schuhe für Brandunterdrückung, für allgemeine Nutzung im Feuerwehrdienst, Schuhe für die Brandbekämpfung und für Gefahrstoffeinsätze. Es legt zudem Anforderungen an Schuhe für Feuerwehrleute mit zugerichteten Einlegesohlen und zugerichtete Schuhe für Feuerwehrleute fest. Dieses Dokument befasst sich nicht mit der Eigenschaft hoher Sichtbarkeit aufgrund des Zusammenwirkens mit der Kleidung (z. B. die Schuhe bedeckende Hosen oder umgekehrt) und den Arbeitsplatzbedingungen (z. B. Schmutz, Schlamm).
Besondere Risiken werden in ergänzenden, auf einzelne Tätigkeiten bezogenen Normen behandelt (z. B. elektrisch isolierende Schuhe, Schutzschuhe gegen Schnitte durch Kettensägen, Schuhe zum Schutz gegen flüssige Metallspritzer).
Chaussures pour pompiers
Le présent document fixe les exigences minimales et les méthodes d'essai permettant de déterminer les performances de trois types de chaussures destinées aux pompiers (voir 4.3), dans le cadre de l'extinction d'un feu, d'opérations générales de sauvetage, de la lutte contre les incendies et de situations d'urgence en présence de matériaux dangereux. Il spécifie également les exigences relatives aux chaussures pour pompiers équipées de premières de propreté personnalisées et aux chaussures pour pompiers personnalisées. Le présent document ne couvre pas la propriété de haute visibilité en raison de l'interaction avec les vêtements (par exemple, le pantalon recouvre la chaussure et inversement) et les conditions du lieu de travail (par exemple, saleté, boue).
Les risques particuliers sont couverts par des normes complémentaires relatives au travail (par exemple, chaussures isolantes, chaussures résistantes aux coupures de scies à chaîne, protection contre les projections de métal fondu).
