EN 13911 Protective Clothing for Firefighters - Requirements and Test methods for Fire Hoods for Firefighters

This standard is valid only when protective clothing (EN 469), breathing apparatus (EN 136 and EN 137) and helmet (EN 443) are worn.

This standard specifies the minimum safety requirements and test methods for a fire hood worn by a firefighter following a user risk assessment. When worn with protective clothing, breathing apparatus and lmet, the design features and performance requirements of the fire hood are aimed at protecting the exposed areas of the head and neck against heat and flame.

Fire hoods can be used both above and below the face mask and in different end uses with hats of different shapes. It is the user's responsibility to select the correct headgear suitable for the garment, wearer, and face mask recommended by the headgear manufacturer.

The firecap will be tight and can be worn without discomfort or significant restriction of head movement. The fire cap will fit around or under the claimed compatibility respirator face mask and will not interfere with the breathing function of the mask without reducing the field of view and will not cause any discomfort to the wearer.
