DIN EN 15090:2012-04 EN 15090:2012 (E) 5 Introduction The purpose of this standard is to provide minimum performance requirements and test methods for footwear for fir
29、efighters which is intended for use for fire fighting and associated activities. A risk assessment should be used to determine whether the footwear covered by this standard is suitable for the intended use for the expected exposure. Firefighters should be trained in the use, care and maintenance of
30、the footwear covered by this standard, including an understanding of its limitations. DIN EN 15090:2012-04 EN 15090:2012 (E) 6 1 Scope This European standard specifies minimum requirements and test methods for the performance of three types (see 4.3) of footwear for use by firefighters for fire supp
31、ression, general-purpose rescue, fire rescue and hazardous materials emergencies. This European standard does not cover special personal protective equipment used in high-risk situations (for example, the conditions described in ISO 15538). 2 Normative references The following referenced documents a

37、lymeric footwear Class II All-rubber (i.e. entirely vulcanized) or all-polymeric (i.e. entirely moulded) footwear 4.2 Design Footwear shall conform to one of designs B to E of Figure 3 of EN ISO 20345:2011. 4.3 Type The types of footwear for firefighters shall be as follows: Type 1: Outdoor interven
38、tions, fire and wildland firefighting; no protection against penetration, no toe protection, no protection against chemical hazards; Type 2: All fire suppression and rescue interventions where protection against penetration, and toe protection are needed, no protection against chemical hazards; Type
39、 3: All fire suppression and rescue interventions where protection against penetration and toe protection are needed, including protection against chemical hazards. 5 Sampling and conditioning The minimum number of samples shall be that specified in Clause 6 of EN ISO 20344:2011, together with the m
40、inimum number of test pieces taken from each sample, as given in Table 2. Wherever possible, test pieces shall be taken from the whole footwear unless otherwise stated in this standard and in EN ISO 20344. If it is not possible to obtain a large enough test piece from the footwear, then a sample of
41、the material from which the component has been manufactured may be used instead and this shall be noted in the test report. Where samples are required from each of three sizes, these shall comprise the largest, smallest and a middle size of the footwear under test. All test pieces shall be condition
42、ed in a standard atmosphere of (23 + 2) C and (50 + 5) % relative humidity for a minimum of 48 h before testing, unless otherwise stated in the test method. The maximum time which shall elapse between removal from the conditioning atmosphere and the start of testing shall be not greater than 10 min,
43、 unless otherwise stated in the test method. Each test piece shall individually satisfy the specific requirement, unless otherwise stated in the test method. NOTE The uncertainty of measurement for each test method described in the present standard may be assessed. One of the two following approache
44、s should be used: a statistical method, e.g. that given in ISO 5725-2 20; DIN EN 15090:2012-04 EN 15090:2012 (E) 8 a mathematical method, e.g. that given in ENV 13005 3.
