This document specifies minimum performance requirements for protective clothing designed to be worn during firefighting activities. The requirements are detailed in this document covering heat and flame, mechanical, chemical, comfort, visibility, etc.
This document covers the general clothing design, the minimum performance levels of the material used, the methods of test to be used to determine these performance levels, marking and information supplied by the manufacturer.
This document makes distinction between firefighting activities dividing them into two performance levels based on a risk assessment:
-   Level 1: specifies the minimum requirements for firefighting clothing involving work associated with outdoor firefighting and their support activities, taking into account the environments and conditions of the expected operational scenarios of such firefighting activities.
The level 1 is not applicable for protection against risks encountered in fighting fires or rescue from fire activities in structures, unless combined to a level 2 or other specialised PPE.
-   Level 2: specifies the minimum requirements for firefighting clothing for risks encountered in fighting fires and rescue from fire in structures.
The distinction between Level 1 and Level 2 clothing is restricted to the requirements on heat and flame (X1 or X2 - Heat and Flame). These levels of protection can be reached by a single or a combination of separate garments.
Additional marking provides two grades of protection for Y (protection against water penetration) and Z (water vapour resistance). It is essential that these performance grades are indicated on the marking of the clothing and explained in the instructions for use.
This document does not cover protective clothing for specialized tasks or specific risk situations e.g. wildland firefighting, specialized firefighting and/or advanced technical rescue operations dealing with hazardous chemicals, working with chainsaws and water and rope rescue.
This document does not cover protection for the head, hands and feet or specific protection against other hazards e.g. chemical, biological, radiological and electrical hazards. These aspects may be covered in other European Standards.

This document is applicable to conductive clothing, worn during live working (especially barehand
working) on AC and DC electrical installations, to provide electrical continuity between all
parts of the clothing and a reduction of electric field inside the clothing.
This document is applicable to conductive clothing assembled from a conductive garment
(jackets and trousers or coveralls forming a one-piece garment) and from conductive component
parts (gloves, hoods or helmets, shoes or boots, overshoe socks and socks) in electrical
systems with nominal voltage up to 1 000 kV AC and up to ±800 kV DC.
This document does not indicate values of protection from the effects of the electric arc,
because any value indicated would not guarantee the necessary protection from the effects of
electric arcs, or the operator would need to wear very heavy and rigid conductive clothing, which
would not allow the execution of the work in safety.
The products designed and manufactured according to this document contribute to the safety
of the users provided they are used by persons trained for the work, in accordance with the live
working methods and the instructions for use.

This International Standard specifies methods of test and minimum performance requirements for protective clothing to
be worn in wildland firefighting and associated activities. This clothing is not intended to provide protection during fire
entrapment. This International Standard applies to the general design of the garment, the minimum level of performance for the materials employed and the methods of test to determine these levels.
This International Standard is not applicable to clothing for use in risk situations where clothing complying with ISO 11613 or
ISO 15538 is more suitable, nor does this International Standard cover clothing to protect against chemical, biological, electrical
or radiation hazards.This International Standard is not applicable to protection of the head (it may cover the necks), eyes, hand, feet and respiratory system. These aspects may be dealt with in
