According to the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organizations of the following countries are bound
26、 to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Swi

DIN EN 1486:2008-04 EN 1486:2007 (E) 5 Introduction This European Standard specifies reflective protective clothing, which provide higher levels of protection against radiant heat than the non-reflective clothing specified in EN 469. This reflective clothing may be used
28、in certain techniques of specialised fire-fighting. However, protective clothing conforming to EN 469 may also be used with different specialised fire-fighting techniques. The type of protective clothing employed should be appropriate for the fire-fighting tactics. A risk assessment shall be used to
29、 determine if the clothing covered by this European Standard is suitable for the intended use for the expected exposure. The risk assessment should include consideration of any respiratory protection that may also be required. Fire-fighters shall be trained in the use, care and maintenance of the pr
30、otective clothing covered by this European Standard, including an understanding of its limitations and of the necessity to remove PPE as soon as possible after an incident. Subject to risk assessment, the clothing covered by this European Standard may be suitable for use in activities other than tho
31、se considered by this European Standard. Nothing in this European Standard is intended to restrict any jurisdiction, purchaser or manufacturer from exceeding these minimum requirements. DIN EN 1486:2008-04 EN 1486:2007 (E) 6 1 Scope This European Standard considers requirements for the protection of
32、 the whole body including head, hands and feet. Clothing for head and feet according to this European Standard, however, may only provide sufficient protection when worn together with such basic PPE specified in the relevant standards as noted in paragraphs 4.2 and 4.4 of this European Standard. Thi
33、s European Standard specifies test methods and minimum performance requirements for reflective protective clothing used in specialised fire-fighting. This clothing provides protection against flame lick and intense radiant heat and is worn for short periods only, to enable the fire-fighter to enter
34、specific high-risk fire-fighting and fire rescue situations which also require the use of breathing apparatus. This European Standard only covers protective clothing that relies upon the ability of the outer material to reflect intense radiant heat. This type of reflective clothing may also be used
35、for industrial applications involving high levels of radiant heat. The reflective clothing specified in this European Standard is not covered in EN 469. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document.
