This standard typically relates to professional fire-fighting kit worn during structural fire fighting to protect mainly against heat and flame.

The performance requirements for clothing conforming to this standard include:

• Flame spread (tested to ISO 15025)
• Convective heat (tested to EN 367)
• Radiant heat (tested to ISO 6942)
• Heat resistance (tested to OSO 17493:2000)
• Water repellence, dimensional stability, resistance to chemicals

Photometric requirements for retroreflective materials are according to EN471 Table 5 (Level 2, 220 table) or Table 7 (combined performance materials, 65 table). The minimum amount of reflective material is 0.13 m². Retroreflective materials must also pass the flame spread test and heat resistance test. The products must have a minimum value of retroreflection after the latter test.
