GLOBAL STANDARDS

Our firefighting suits, station gears and accessories conforms to the international standards to
provide optimum comfort with high performance against heat stress and flames. Firefighting
clothing uses specialized fabrics that offer performance and durability to firefighters under a range
of operational conditions and hazards.

EN 469: Protective Clothing for Firemen
EN 469 is an European Standard specifies minimum levels of
performance requirements for protective clothing to be worn
during firefighting operations and associated activities such as
e.g. rescue work, assistance during disasters. The described
clothing is not meant to protect against chemical and/or gas EN 469
cleaning operations.
FIREFIGHTING PROTECTION
EN 1149-5: Protective clothing - Electrostatic Properties

Protective clothing certified according to EN 1149-5 provides the
wearer with electrostatic dissipative clothing with reduced risk of
sparking. The garment should be used as part of a total earthed
system to avoid combustible discharges. The requirements may
not be sufficient in oxygen enriched flammable atmospheres. EN 1149-5

EN 342: Protective clothing against Cold and Low Temperatures

Protective clothing certified according to EN 342 gives the wearer
protection against cold environment. This pecifies requirements
and test methods for garments & clothing combinations designed
to protect the wearer in a cold environment (characterised by a
combination of humidity, wind & air temperature lower than -5 °C). EN 342

EN 343: Protective clothing against Rain and Bad Weather

This standard specifies the requirements and test methods for
materials and the seams of clothing designed to give protection
against precipitation (rain, snow), mist and ground moisture. The
garment and the seams are tested for its water resistance, but
also water vapour resistivity.

EN ISO 11612: Protective Clothing to Protect against Heat and Flame

EN ISO 11612 gives the wearer protection against brief contact
with heat and flame. The heat can be convective, radiant, molten
material, or a combination thereof. The performance requirements
are applicable to garments where there is a need for clothing with
EN ISO 11612
limited flame spread properties. (A, B, C, D, E, F)
