This European Standard shall be gi

19、ven the status of a national standard, either by publication of an identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by June 2015 and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the latest by June 2015. Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be th

20、e subject of patent rights. CEN and/or CENELEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. This document has been prepared under a mandate given to CEN by the European Commission and the European Free Trade Association, and supports essential requirements of EU Direc

21、tive(s). For relationship with EU Directive(s), see informative Annex ZA, which is an integral part of this document. The purpose of this European Standard is to provide minimum performance requirements for helmets designed for use for technical rescue operations and associated activities by for exa

22、mple firefighters, rescue and medical personnel as described in the scope. Consequently, the protective helmet should be comfortable, light and commensurate with the risks to which the rescue personnel may be exposed in order to be effective. According to the CEN-CENELEC Internal Regulations, the na

23、tional standards organizations of the following countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, L

BS EN 16473:2014EN 16473:2014 (E) 5 1 Scope This European Standard specifies the minimum requirements for technical rescue helmets. These helmet

25、s are intended to protect the upper head mainly against the effects of mechanical hazards such as impact and penetration, flame, electrical and chemical hazards while conducting technical rescue and associated activities. Technical rescues involve the environments and conditions associated with oper

26、ational scenarios such as but not limited to those found during road traffic collisions, railway incidents and when working in and around collapsed structures, often for extended periods of time, after natural disasters (flood, earthquake, etc.). Requirements for marking and information to be suppli

27、ed by the manufacturer are included. Helmets for use while firefighting in buildings and other structures or in wildland firefighting environments, are not covered by this European Standard see EN 443 and EN 16471. Helmets for use in water rescue operations using craft, such as boats, canoes etc., a

28、re also not covered by this European Standard. Protection of the face and eyes, when not provided by visors, ears and neck might require additional items of personal protective equipment (PPE), which are not covered by this European Standard. 2 Normative references The following documents, in whole
