21、 18 Annex ZA (informative) Relationship between this European Standard and the Essential Requirements of EU Directive 89/686/EEC . 20 DIN EN 16471:2015-03 EN 16471:2014 (E) 4 Foreword This document (EN 16471:2014) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 158 “Head protection”, the secretariat
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of an identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by June 2015 and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the latest by June 2015.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

37、E) 6 3 Terms and definitions For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply. 3.1 helmet for wildland fire fighting headwear, including all integral components supplied by the manufacturer, intended primarily to protect the upper part of a wearers head against hazards wh
38、ich may occur during wildland fire fighting activities Note 1 to entry: Hereafter, helmets for wildland fire fighting are referred to as helmets. 3.2 helmet shell component in hard material with a smooth finish, which gives the helmet its general shape 3.3 protective padding material and/or suspensi
39、on system which serves to dampen impact energy 3.4 retention system those parts which are responsible for securing the helmet in position on the head, including items which enable adjustment or improved comfort 3.5 chin strap part of a retention system, including a strap which passes under or on the
40、 wearers chin and which helps to ensure that the helmet is correctly maintained in place 3.6 head form shape replacing the head which is used for testing certain characteristics Note 1 to entry: The head form is designed in accordance with EN 960. 3.7 accessories additional device(s) supplied or rec
41、ommended by the manufacturer which may be attached to the helmet but which provide no protective function to the wearer EXAMPLES Lamp brackets, cable clips, badges and trims. 3.8 non-integral additional protective devices additional protective device(s) supplied or recommended by the manufacturer wh
42、ich may be attached to the helmet and intended to be removable by the user EXAMPLES Mesh visors, ear defenders, neck-guard and safety goggles. 4 Physical requirements 4.1 Materials For those parts of the helmet coming, or that may come, into contact with the skin the material used shall not be subje
43、ct to any known appreciable alteration from contact with sweat or with substances likely to be found in toiletries. Materials shall not be used which are known to cause skin disorders or other adverse effects on health. DIN EN 16471:2015-03 EN 16471:2014 (E) 7 Examples of documents, which can be pre
44、sented as evidence of chemical innocuousness, are given in the note. NOTE The following list of documents is given for information and as examples of documents to be examined: a) materials specifications; b) safety data sheets relating to the materials; c) information relating to the suitability of
