This standard defines the test methods for safety footwear, protective footwear, and occupational
shoes. It may be used only in conjunction with standards EN ISO 20345 and EN ISO 20347, which
specify the requirements for the shoes as a function of specific levels of risk involved.

SCIP information

Connection elements or equipment component. A lanyard can be in rope made of synthetic fibres, in metallic rope, in strap or in chain.
CAUTION: A lanyard without energy absorber must not be used as a fall arrest equipment.

Taking into account the level of risk covered, the Regulation defines the PPE categories and determines the various manufacturer’s obligations:
• PPE category 1: Protection against minor risks.
• PPE category 2: All PPE that are not category 1 or 3.
• PPE category 3: Protection against disability or fatality

It contains laboratory tests to check the conformity with resistance to impacts, to temperature, to humidity and corrosive atmospheres, and with mechanical and respiratory resistance.

It contains laboratory tests and practical performance tests to check the conformity with resistance to temperature, to impacts, to flame, to thermal radiation, to traction,
resistance to cleansers and disinfectants. Furthermore, the visual inspection must concern the marking and the manufacturers’ information guide.

89/391: Identify and assess the risk, take preventive and protective measures, inform and train the workers.

2004/37: Risks related to exposure to carcinogens or mutagens at work: hazard identifi cation, «limit values», respiratory protection.

89/656: Select and use the appropriate and compliant PPE, inform and train people, check and replace the PPE when necessary.

It contains laboratory tests and practical performance tests to check the conformity with resistance to impacts, to cleaners and disinfectants, to temperature, to flame and respiratory resistance.

This standard is specific to the standard connection system of the cartridge for full face masks.

It contains laboratory tests to check the conformity with resistance to handling and wear, to impacts, to flame and with respiratory resistance.

It contains laboratory tests to check the conformity with resistance to impacts, to temperature, to humidity and corrosive atmospheres and with mechanical and respiratory resistance.

It contains laboratory tests to check the conformity with resistance to impacts, to cleansers and disinfectants, to temperature, to fl ame and with respiratory resistance.

Its objective is to develop test methods and requirements in the form of standards defining the technical specifications of products. Some of them, mostly requirements standards, are harmonised with EU Regulation 2016/425. Compliance with these harmonised standards gives an assurance of compliance with the requirements of EU Regulation 2016/425

Mandatory

Impact*: force transmitted to the headform must not exceed 5 kN at the fall of an object of 5 kg from a 1 m height. The impact energy of the helmet at
the end of the test is 49 J.
Penetration*: the tip of the mass used in the test (3 kg over 1 m) must not come into contact with the skull.
Flammability: the helmet should not burn with fl ame emission more than 5 seconds after removal of the fl ame.
* The impact and penetration tests are performed at room temperature, at 50°C and at -10°C.

Optional

In extreme temperatures: impact and penetration tests are conducted at room temperature at 150°C, at -20°C or -30°C.
Protects against accidental short-term contact with a live electrical conductor up to 440 VAC.
Protects against lateral compression. The maximum deformation of the helmet should be ≤ 40 mm.
Resistance to molten metal splashes.

Recommendations for selection, use and maintenance.

EN352 : Exigences of safety and tests.

• EN352-1 : the ear-muff s.

• EN352-2 : the earplugs.

• EN352-3 : the adjustable head defenders for the safety helmets.

• EN352-4 : Noise cancelling headphones with level dependent attenuation.

• EN352-6 : Earmuff s with electrical audio input.

• EN352-8 : Audio enabled earmuff s. These standards establish requirements with regards to the manufacture, the design, performances and test methods.

They stipulate the putting at disposal relative to the characteristics.

Mandatory

Electrically insulating helmets for use near energised equipment not exceeding 1000 VAC or 1500 VDC (appliance class 0).
Used simultaneously with other electrically insulating protective equipment, these helmets prevent dangerous currents passing through to the person's head.
These optional electrical insulation tests are more stringent than the EN397 and they complement them. (2 triangle marking, Class 0).

PROTECTION AGAINST HEAT AND FLAME

Protection against heat and flame. This standard specifies the performance requirements of materials and protective clothing against heat and flames. They apply to clothing made of soft material, designed to protect the human body except the hands against heat and/ or flame.
