This document specifies methods of test and minimum performance requirements for personal protective clothing, designed to protect the wearer's body, except for the head, hands, and feet, that is worn during wildland firefighting and associated activities. This clothing is not intended to provide protection during fire entrapment. This document covers 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 document is not applicable to clothing for use in situations encountered in structural firefighting (EN 469 or ISO 11999-3), rescue (ISO 18639) or where a high level of infrared radiation is expected (ISO 15538 or EN 1486), nor does this document cover clothing to protect against chemical, biological, electrical or radiation hazards. This document does not provide protection against high mechanical risks such as for protection when using chain saws.

This document specifies a list of terms connected to personal fall protection equipment standards. The terms are listed in the alphabetical order in the three official languages of CEN, English, German and French.

This document specifies requirements and test methods for materials and seams of re-usable and single use protective clothing providing protection of the wearer against infective biological agents. Design criteria, mechanical requirements, and functional fit requirements are basd on either ISO 16602 series or by the ISO 20384 as indicated in this document, while the barrier properties of this document will be additive to ensure the protection against infective biological agents. NOTE This standard is a standalone standard but using requirements based on ISO 16602 series and ISO 20384. For products intended for the dual use as both a PPE and as a medical gown, both this document and the ISO 20384 shall apply. Clothing worn by surgical teams or drapes laid on patients to prevent cross-contamination during surgical interventions are not covered by the scope of this document, but are covered solely by ISO 20384. This document not applicable to components such as gloves, boots, eye/face protection devices and respiratory protective devices as their performance criteria are given in other standards. However, when these components are either an integral part of the protective clothing ensemble or are tested separately as partial body protection, supplementary requirements are provided in this standard. This document does not cover requirements for antimicrobial treatments for protective clothing.

This document specifies requirements and test methods for the stone shields to be worn by youths and adults of either sex to provide limited protection against lofted stones and debris while riding motorcycles in motocross and other off road activities on dirt roads. Hence this document contains general and performance requirements for the materials utilised and requirements for sizes, shapes, marking and assembly methodology. This document is not applicable to stone shield for children and for people with chest girth below 50 cm.

This document covers requirements and test methods for mechanically activated inflatable protectors for motorcycle riders (in the following text called inflatable protector). It specifies the minimum level of protection, the minimum intervention time for the airbag system and the minimum coverage body zone to be protected by motorcyclists' inflatable protector worn by riders. The requirements of this document are applicable to various design of inflatable protectors and refer to all body areas and their combinations, which are claimed to be protected. Requirement of this document are applicable to airbag system, to the specific hosting garment (or textile restrain system) and to the mechanical triggering system. This document contains the requirements for assessing the performance of airbag system, specific hosting garment (or textile restraint system), and mechanical triggering system during an accident and details of the test methods, requirements sizing, ergonomics, innocuousness, labelling and the provision of information. This document is not applicable to pre inflated protector. Inflatable protectors other than mechanically activated are not covered by this document.
