22、 of which is held by BSI. This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by June 2015 and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the latest by June 2015. Attention is drawn to the poss

23、ibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. CEN and/or CENELEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. This document has been prepared under a mandate given to CEN by the European Commission and the European Free Trade

24、Association, and supports essential requirements of EU Directive(s). For relationship with EU Directive(s), see informative Annex ZA, which is an integral part of this document. The purpose of this European Standard is to provide minimum performance requirements for helmets designed for use for exte

25、nded periods during wildland fire fighting and associated activities. Wildland fire fighting involves work primarily in summer temperatures, for many hours during which the fire fighter may develop high levels of metabolic heat. Consequently, the protective helmet should be comfortable, light and co

26、mmensurate with the risks to which the fire fighter may be exposed in order to be effective without introducing heat stress to the wearer. This European Standard does not cover helmets for use in situations where helmets conforming to EN 443 are more suitable. According to the CEN-CENELEC Internal R

27、egulations, the national standards organizations of the following countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland

28、, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey and the United Kingdom. DIN EN 16471:2015-03 EN 16471:2014 (E) 5 1 Scope This European Standard specifies the minimum requirements for wildland fire f

29、ighting helmets protecting the upper head mainly against the effects of impact, penetration, heat, flame and burning embers while conducting fire fighting and associated activities in wildland environments. Requirements for marking and information to be supplied by the manufacturer are included. Wil

30、dland fire fighting involves direct and indirect attack techniques (like wood cutting). Wildland environments include forests, crops, plantations and grass/heath/scrub or farmland. Helmets for use while fire fighting in buildings and other structures are not covered by this European Standard (see EN

31、 443). This helmet is not intended to provide protection during fire entrapment. Protection of the face, eyes, ears and neck may require additional items of personal protective equipment (PPE), which are not covered by this European Standard. 2 Normative references The following documents, in whole
