EVS-EN ISO 11612:2015

This International Standard specifies performance requirements for protective clothing made from flexible
materials, which are designed to protect the wearer’s body, except the hands, from heat and/or flame. For
protection of the wearer’s head and feet, the only items of protective clothing falling within the scope of this
International Standard are gaiters, hoods and overboots. However, concerning hoods, requirements for visors
and respiratory equipment are not given.
The performance requirements set out in this International Standard are applicable to protective clothing which
could be worn for a wide range of end uses, where there is a need for clothing with limited flame spread
properties and where the user can be exposed to radiant or convective or contact heat or to molten metal
splashes
This International Standard is not applicable to protective clothing that is specified by other International
Standards (see introduction).
