This International Standard specifies test methods and minimum performance requirements for protective clothing for firefighters while engaged in rescue activities. Clothing related to specific rescue activities are documented in individual subsections of this Standard, 6.2 Road Traffic Crash, (RTC) or 6.3 Urban Search & Rescue, (USAR).

Subsections of this International Standard cover general clothing design, the minimum performance level of the materials used and the methods of test for determining this performance level. This International Standard does not cover special clothing for use in other high risk situations such as fire fighting. It does not cover protection for the head, hands and feet or protection against other hazards, e.g. chemical, biological, radiation and electrical hazards, except for limited, accidental exposure to fireground chemicals and contaminated blood or other body fluids.
