Abstract This European Standard is applicable to protective clothing for industrial workers exposed to heat, (excluding firefighters' and welders' clothing). The clothing consists of outer garments made from flexible material to protect specific parts of the body. Hoods and gaiters are included but all other types of protection for the head, hands and feet are excluded. This European Standard specifies the performance requirements and methods of test for the protective clothing materials and gives design recommendations for the clothing where necessary. Protective clothing complying with this European Standard is intended to protect industrial workers against brief contact with flame and against at least one type of heat. The heat may be in the form of convective heat, radiant heat, large molten metal splashes, or a combination of these heat hazards.
