The purpose of this European Standard is to provide minimum performance requirements for helmets designed for use for technical rescue operations and associated activities by for example firefighters, rescue
29、and medical personnel as described in the scope. Consequently, the protective helmet should be comfortable, light and commensurate with the risks to which the rescue personnel may be exposed in order to be effective. According to the CEN-CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organizat
30、ions 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, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malt

Requirements for marking and information to be supplied by the manufacture
34、r are included. Helmets for use while firefighting in buildings and other structures or in wildland firefighting environments, are not covered by this European Standard see EN 443 and EN 16471. Helmets for use in water rescue operations using craft, such as boats, canoes etc., are also not covered b
35、y this European Standard. Protection of the face and eyes, when not provided by visors, ears and neck might require additional items of personal protective equipment (PPE), which are not covered by this European Standard. 2 Normative references The following documents, in whole or in part, are norma
