However, attention is drawn to the fact that during the development of this European Standard, the UK voted against its approval as a European Standard. The reason for t
5、his disapproval is that during discussion of this standard by BSI committee PH/3/2, which mirrors the work of CEN committee TC162 WG2, UK experts expressed the opinion that the testing and performance requirements given for the screen fitted to the hood of the garment as given in 4.3.2 were not adeq

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
24、 specified in EN 469. This reflective clothing may be used 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 th
25、e fire-fighting tactics. A risk assessment shall be used to 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
26、shall be trained in the use, care and maintenance of the protective 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 St
27、andard may be suitable for use in activities other than those considered by this European Standard. Nothing in this European Standard is intended to restrict any jurisdiction, purchaser or manufacturer from exceeding these minimum requirements. EN 1486:2007 (E) 6 1 Scope This European Standard consi
28、ders requirements for the protection of 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
29、 and 4.4 of this European Standard. This 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 onl
30、y, to enable the fire-fighter to enter 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 o
31、f reflective clothing may also be used 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 docu
