12、-2:2015(E) Foreword ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject fo

13、r which a technical committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on

14、all matters of electrotechnical standardization. International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2. The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees ar

15、e circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote. In other circumstances, particularly when there is an urgent market requirement for such documents, a technical committee may decide to publi

16、sh other types of normative document: an ISO Publicly Available Specification (ISO/PAS) represents an agreement between technical experts in an ISO working group and is accepted for publication if it is approved by more than 50 % of the members of the parent committee casting a vote; an ISO Technica

17、l Specification (ISO/TS) represents an agreement between the members of a technical committee and is accepted for publication if it is approved by 2/3 of the members of the committee casting a vote. An ISO/PAS or ISO/TS is reviewed after three years in order to decide whether it will be confirmed fo

18、r a further three years, revised to become an International Standard, or withdrawn. If the ISO/PAS or ISO/TS is confirmed, it is reviewed again after a further three years, at which time it must either be transformed into an International Standard or be withdrawn. ISO/TS 11999-2 was prepared by Tech

19、nical Committee ISO/TC 94, Personal safety Protective clothing and equipment, Subcommittee SC 14, Fire-fighters personal equipment. ISO 11999 consists of the following parts, under the general title PPE for firefighters Test methods and requirements for PPE used by firefighters who are at risk of ex

20、posure to high levels of heat and/or flame while fighting fires occurring in structures: Part 1: General Part 2: Compatibility Part 3: Clothing Part 4: Gloves The following parts are under preparation: Part 5: Helmets Part 6: Footwear Part 7: Face and eye protection Part 8: Hearing Part 9: Firehoods

21、 Part 10: Respiratory protectioniv ISO 2015 All rights reservedPD ISO/TS 11999-2:2015ISO/TS 11999-2:2015(E) Introduction This International Standard provides minimum design and performance requirements for personal protective equipment (PPE) worn by firefighters to reduce injury and/or the loss of l

22、ife. Amongst other hazards faced by firefighters is exposure to high thermal loads and to flames. This International Standard details the design and performance requirements for the various items of PPE covered in all parts and for the compatibility of items of PPE when worn together. This Internati

23、onal Standard specifies design and performance requirements for the compatibility of ISO 11999-3, ISO 11999-4, ISO 11999-5, ISO 11999-6, ISO 11999-7, ISO 11999-8, ISO 11999-9, and ISO 11999-10 when all items covered in this International Standard are worn together, thereby creating an ensemble stand

24、ard. All items have to meet the general requirements for marking and manufacturers instructions (ISO 11999-1), as well as the specific marking and manufacturers instructions of the respective parts of ISO 11999. Under best practice for health and safety procedures, prior to choosing any PPE, a risk

25、assessment of the workplace is carried out. Where hazards are identified and cannot be removed from a workplace, the items of PPE chosen to protect the personnel need to be fit for their intended use while allowing the personnel to carry out the work required of them. In environments where firefight

26、ers may be required to work, not only must the PPE protect the firefighters while enabling them to achieve their objectives at an incident, but it must also safeguard them and allow a safe escape. The PPE chosen must also allow firefighters to carry out their duties without undue stress being caused

27、 by the PPE. Some PPE, particularly PPE to protect against mortal danger, can have failure levels far above the limit of exposures of human beings. On sites where such PPE is being used, it is important to ensure that proper and suitable safety procedures are in place which can identify when personn

28、el should be withdrawn from dangerous or potentially dangerous situations and which can ensure that the relevant medical support is available for firefighters. Since the decision on which PPE ensemble to use following risk assessment will dictate the parameters for protection of the persons who have

29、 to wear it, it is critical that decision-makers have knowledge of the risks against which the PPE is supposed to protect and its limitations. It is recommended that those who make the decision on the choice of PPE for particular workplaces should be competent in their knowledge and understanding of

30、 both the workplace hazards and the PPE from which to choose, prior to making these decisions, to ensure that informed decisions are taken. Further detail on carrying out risk assessment to ascertain the type of PPE required to protect personnel working in specific areas is included in ISO 11999-1:2

31、015, Annex A. Hazards in the workplaces of firefighters are varied but can be common from workplace to workplace; therefore, some uses of PPE for firefighters can be multipurpose. Because this International Standard has been developed on a risk assessment approach, a number of different types, level

32、s, or classes are given for certain performance requirements of various parts of a PPE ensemble. Based on their risk assessment, users of this International Standard can make a choice of which levels or classes are required for the particular workplace where their personnel are expected to work. Thi

33、s can include fires in domestic and commercial buildings, fires in industry, including aviation, petrochemical, chemical, pharmaceutical, land-based marine incidents, rescue, etc. This International Standard includes separate parts for each item of a firefighters ensemble. As PPE to protect each par

34、t of the body can be complex, this International Standard draws from the expertise of other Technical Committees in ISO which specialize in such protection. The results of the user risk assessment for certain workplaces can require the use of PPE with higher and/or different levels or classes of per

35、formance than those in this International Standard. PPE covered in this part of ISO 11999 will not protect from all possible exposures. Nothing in this International Standard is intended to restrict any jurisdiction, purchaser, or manufacturer from exceeding the minimum performance requirements spec

36、ified in this International Standard. ISO 2015 All rights reserved vPD ISO/TS 11999-2:2015ISO/TS 11999-2:2015(E) Another objective in the Business Plan of ISO/TC 94/SC 14 is to provide guidance on the selection, use, care, and maintenance for firefighters PPE. Such activities are critical to the lif

37、espan and continuing protective ability of any PPE and policies covering these aspects should be implemented as soon as the PPE is introduced into use. ISO/TC 94/SC 14 has developed a Technical Report on this subject, ISO/TR 21808. Firefighters should be trained in the selection, use, care, and main

38、tenance of their PPE. Firefighters should also be trained in the performance and limitation of their PPE.vi ISO 2015 All rights reservedPD ISO/TS 11999-2:2015PPE for firefighters Test methods and requirements for PPE used by firefighters who are at risk of exposure to high levels of heat and/or flam

This Technical Specification includes methods for compatibility testing in laboratories and procedures for compatibility testing including the identification of any limitations to be performed by wearers. NOTE Where the presence of more than one risk to health and s

41、afety makes it necessary to wear or use simultaneously more than one item of personal protective equipment, such equipment is compatible and continues to be effective against the risk or risks in question. 2 Normative References The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively reference

Retroreflective materials enhance night time visibility, and fluorescent materials improve daytime visibility 4 Compatibility 4.1 General Compatibility becomes an issue when different types of PPE of an ensemble or combinations are worn at the same time. This is because eac

48、h type of PPE may interfere with another type of PPE. This may lead to a reduction of protection provided by the PPE and/or other restrictions, which may cause a limitation of the tactical mission. The main hazards of structural firefighting are impacts of heat and f lame. Furthermore the penetratio

49、n of water may cause severe injuries during structural firefighting. For items of PPE to be marked as compatible according to ISO 11999-1, they shall also meet the relevant performance requirements specified in this technical specification. Practical performance testing should be carried out in accordance with Annex A.
