The work of preparing Internat
17、ional Standards is normally carried out through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for 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 I
18、SO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Pa
19、rt 1. In particular the different approval criteria needed for the different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www.iso.org/directives).Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the

It was further agreed that ISO 11613:1999 would remain current.iv ISO 2015 All rights reservedBS ISO 11999-1:2015ISO 11999-1:2015(E)IntroductionThis International Stand
26、ard provides minimum design and performance requirements for personal protective equipment (PPE) worn by firefighters to reduce injury and/or the loss of life. Amongst other hazards faced by firefighters is exposure to high thermal loads and to flames.This International Standard details the design a
27、nd performance requirements for the various items of PPE covered in all parts and for the compatibility of items of PPE when worn together.This International Standard specifies, in ISO 119992, design and performance requirements for the compatibility of ISO 119993, ISO 119994, ISO 119995, ISO 119996
28、, ISO 119997, ISO 119998, ISO 11999-9, and ISO 11999-10 when all items covered in this International Standard are worn together, thereby creating an ensemble standard. All items have to meet the general requirements for marking and manufacturers instructions (this part of ISO 11999), as well as the
29、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 assessment of the workplace is carried out. Where hazards are identified and cannot be removed from a workplace, the items of P
30、PE 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 firefighters may be required to work, not only must the PPE protect the firefighters while enabling them to achieve their objectives at
31、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 by the PPE.Some PPE, particularly PPE to protect against mortal danger, can have failure levels far above the limit of exposur
32、es 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 personnel should be withdrawn from dangerous or potentially dangerous situations and which can ensure that the relevant medical support
33、 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 to wear it, it is critical that decision-makers have knowledge of the risks against which the PPE is supposed to protect and its
34、 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 both the workplace hazards and the PPE from which to choose, prior to making these decisions, to ensure that informed decisions
35、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 Annex A of this part of ISO 11999.Hazards in the workplaces of firefighters are varied but can be common from workplace to workplace; therefore
36、, 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, levels, or classes are given for certain performance requirements of various parts of a PPE ensemble. Based on their risk assess
37、ment, 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. This can include fires in domestic and commercial buildings, fires in industry, including aviation, petrochemical, chemical, p
38、harmaceutical, land-based marine incidents, rescue, etc.This International Standard includes separate parts for each item of a firefighters ensemble. As PPE to protect each part of the body can be complex, this International Standard draws from the expertise of other Technical Committees in ISO whic
39、h 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 performance than those in this International Standard. PPE covered in this part of ISO 11999 will not protect from all possible
40、exposures. Nothing in this International Standard is intended to restrict any jurisdiction, purchaser, or manufacturer from exceeding the minimum performance requirements specified in this International Standard.

41、n 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 lifespan and continuing protective ability of any PPE and policies covering these aspects should be implemented as soon as the PPE is i
42、ntroduced 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 maintenance of their PPE. Firefighters should also be trained in the performance and limitation of their PPE.vi ISO 2015 All rights rese

44、ce requirements for personal protective equipment (PPE) to be used by firefighters, primarily but not solely to protect against exposure to flame and high thermal loads.To assist with choice based on user risk assessment, types and performance levels for different categories of protection are includ
45、ed.The scope of this International Standard does not include PPE for use in highrisk fire exposures where, for example, protective clothing with reflective surface according to ISO 15538 might be more appropriate, or for use in longterm firefighting operations in high ambient temperature (for exampl
46、e, bush, wildland, or forest firefighting) where equipment according to ISO 16073 might be more appropriate.Similarly, this International Standard does not include PPE to protect against chemical and biological hazards, other than against shortterm and accidental exposure while engaged in firefighti
47、ng and associated activities when fighting fires occurring in structures.This part of ISO 11999 describes the general structure of this International Standard, sets design and performance requirements for PPE, and includes requirements for marking and manufacturers instructions.2 Normative reference
