17、 CEN/TC 161 “Foot and leg protectors”, the secretariat 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of an identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by July 2012, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at
18、the latest by July 2012. Attention is drawn to the possibility 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 supersedes EN 15090:2006. This document has bee
19、n prepared under a mandate given to CEN by the European Commission and the European Free Trade 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 main differences betwee
20、n this edition and EN 15090:2006 are as follows: a) Slip resistance has been added (reference to EN ISO 20345, 5.3.5). b) The types of footwear for firefighters (4.3) have been changed in accordance with the risks. c) The requirements and the test method for radiant heat (6.3.2 and 7.2) have been ch
21、anged. d) The requirement for resistance to chemicals (6.5) have been slightly changed. e) The requirements for high electrical resistance outsoles (6.6.4 in the old version) and the adequate Marking symbols in Table 9 were removed. f) Annex B (normative) has been restructured. The criteria for the
22、assessment of the state of footwear have been listed separately: “Insulation against heat”, “Radiant heat” and “Flame resistance”. g) Annex D Testing of laces has been deleted. According to the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organizations of the following countries are boun
23、d to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, 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, S

BS EN 15090:2012EN 15090:2012 (E) 5 Introduction The purpose of this standard is to provide minimum performance requirements and test methods for footwear for firefighters which is intended for use for fire fighting and associated activities. A risk
25、 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 the footwear covered by this standard, including an understanding of its limitations. B
26、S EN 15090:2012EN 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 suppression, general-purpose rescue, fire rescue and hazardous materials emergencies. This Europ
27、ean 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 are indispensable for the application of this document. For dated references, only the editio

33、oulded) 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 interventions, fire and wildland firefighting; no protection against penetration, no toe protection, no p
34、rotection 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 3: All fire suppression and rescue interventions where protection against penetration and toe pr
35、otection 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 minimum number of test pieces taken from each sample, as given in Table 2. Wherever possible, test
36、 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 the material from which the component has been manufactured may be used instead and this shall be
37、 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 conditioned in a standard atmosphere of (23 + 2) C and (50 + 5) % relative humidity for a minimum of 48 h
38、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, unless otherwise stated in the test method. Each test piece shall individually satisfy the speci
39、fic 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 approaches should be used: a statistical method, e.g. that given in ISO 5725-2 20; BS EN 15090:2012EN 1509
