FIRE FIGHTING CLOTHING

The EN 469 Standard

The Standard for fire-fighting garment is EN 469, which specifies the minimum requirements for protective clothing for firefighters to wear during firefighting and related activities such as rescue and disaster relief. 

The EN 469:2007 standard guarantees protection also in case of accidental splashes of chemical or flammable liquids and also establishes which tests must be submitted to this type of protective clothing to determine performance levels.

The fabric

The fabric of fire-fighters’ clothes must have a three-components structure:

• The flame and heat resistant outer layer must act as an initial shield against heat, flame and abrasion, protecting the inner layers;

• The middle layer must act as a barrier against the humidity, reducing the amount of water which could penetrate in the garment. At the same time, it must guarantee breathability by allowing water vapour to escape:

• The internal layer, made with thermal material must guarantee an air pocket to protect the worker from external heat.

The Personalization 

The fireproof workwear can be customised with the company logo and/or references using the embroidery or hot stamping technique. Our style office is available to satisfy all your needs.
