Introduction

This standard specifies the minimum safety requirements and test methods for a firehood worn by a firefighter following a user risk assessment. When worn with protective clothing, breathing apparatus and helmet, the design features and performance requirements of the firehood are intended to provide protection to the exposed areas of the head and neck against heat and flame.

Firehoods can be used in different end uses, both over and underneath the facemask and with different shapes of helmets. It is the user’s responsibility to choose the right firehood appropriate to the garment, helmet, and facemask recommended by the hood manufacturer.

4 Design and Materials

4.1 Introduction

Materials used in the construction of the firehood which are likely to come into contact with the skin of the wearer shall comply with 4.2 of EN ISO 13688:2013.

The design requirements specified shall be verified by visual inspection during the procedures in Annex B, unless otherwise specified in 4.2. The manufacturer shall provide information on the specific items for those that compatibility is claimed.

4.2 General

The firehood shall be close fitting and able to be worn without discomfort or significant restriction to head movement. The firehood shall fit around or under the breathing apparatus facemask for which compatibility is claimed without reducing the field of view interfering with the breathing function of the mask and give no discomfort to the wearer.

Overstretching will reduce the heat protective performance of the firehood and should be avoided by design. NOTE Excess material in the construction of the firehood may hamper the wearer and compromise the wearing of other personal protective equipment.

4.3 Facial opening

The firehood shall have a facial opening designed to fit around or under a breathing apparatus facemask for which compatibility is claimed. Assess by visual observation.



EN 13911:2017 (E)

8

4.4 Yoke interface area

The firehood shall have a yoke creating an interface with the protective clothing. Assess by visual inspection the interface area between firehood and garment.

4.5 Sizing

The firehood may be manufactured in various sizes. It shall be sufficiently elastic to be compatible with various head sizes and shapes. Assess by visual inspection. NOTE The yoke is not always symmetrical on the back, upper shoulders and front (upper chest)

4.6 Labels

The label(s) for the marking requirement shall be positioned in the area defined as the yoke of the firehood. Assess by visual inspection.

4.7 Ventilation Window (optional)

In order to reduce heat-stress and allow body heat accumulated to escape from the top head area of the protective firehood, a single ventilation opening can be optionally introduced in the protective firehood.

The centre of the ventilation opening shall be at the top point of the firehood, when the firehood is placed flat on the table.

The size of the ventilation opening shall not exceed 100 cm2 and shall be positioned within a radius of 6 cm around the top point of the firehood.

The ventilation opening has to be made out of non-melting flame resistant materials (e.g. knitted mesh) and shall comply with 6.1.2, except the requirement of hole formation as specified in index 3 of EN ISO 14116:2015 and 6.1.6 out of the performance requirements specified in Clause 6.

The holes in the ventilation opening material shall not exceed 10 mm in any direction, when the fabric is measured flat in the new state.

5 Sampling and pre-treatment

5.1 The number and size of specimens for the different tests shall be in accordance with the respective standard.

5.2 Before each test specified in Clause 6, the test materials and test specimens shall be pre-treated by cleaning. In addition, the tests in 6.1.2 and 6.1.4 shall be carried out both before the pre-treatment and after the pretreatment, if cleaning is allowed. The test in 6.1.8 shall be carried out only after 5 cleaning cycles according to manufacturer’s instructions.

The cleaning shall be in line with the manufacturer’s instructions on the basis of standardized processes. If the number of cleaning cycles is not specified, the tests shall be carried out – in case of laundering after 5 laundering cycles (one laundering cycle consisting of one washing and one drying), or – in case of dry cleaning after 5 cycles of dry cleaning. This shall be reflected in the information supplied by the manufacturer.

If the manufacturer’s instructions indicate that both cleaning methods are allowed, the test specimen shall undergo the laundering procedure only.

5.3 Ageing In the case that the firehood should be submitted to some treatment to maintain its limited flame spread property the manufacturer shall indicate the maximum number of cleaning cycles that can be carried out before applying the treatment indicated to restore the garment

protective performance. The test in 6.1.2 shall be carried out after the last cleaning cycles as indicated by the manufacturer.

5.4 Conditioning Specimens shall be conditioned for at least 24 h in an atmosphere having a temperature of (20 ± 2) °C and a relative humidity of (65 ± 5) %. Testing shall be carried out within 5 min of removal from this atmosphere.

Annex B (normative)

Donning, Doffing and shape retention test

The test shall be conducted differently depending whether the firehood can be worn above and potentially underneath the facemask. Please follow the steps (B.1 to B.11) in the order (and potentially repetitions) indicated in Table B.1 of Annex B depending on the manufacturer’s instruction of the firehoods.

B.1 Examine the overall shape and construction of the firehood.

B.2 A medium size headform complying with EN 168 which has an internal core covered by a nominal 12 mm thick layer of polyurethane of hardness (50 ± 5) IRDH shall be used.

B.3 If the test is conducted with the firehood above the facemask, go directly to B.8.

B.4 Don the firehood into the user position on the headform.

B.5 Mount the breathing apparatus facemask on the headform above the firehood according to the facemask’s manufacturer’s instructions. Examine whether there is integrity of the interface area between the firehood and the breathing apparatus facemask, e.g. no gaps in the intended area of protection and there shall be no folds in the firehood fabric.

B.6 Remove facemask. Position the firehood so that it is around the neck of the headform with the neck and head area of the headform protruding through the facial opening of the firehood.

B.7 If the firehood is only worn underneath the facemask, repeat B.4 to B.6 for 50 cycles. Remove firehood, and allow the firehood to relax for 1 min, and go to B.10.

B.8 Position the firehood on the headform so that the firehood is around the neck area of the headform with the neck and head area of the headform protruding through the facial opening of the firehood, and then don and doff for 50 cycles, passing the facial opening of the firehood up and over the headform to the in-use position and then passing the firehood down over the headform to the starting position. For firehoods with a manually adjusted facial opening an adjustment is to be made during each cycle, after donning and before doffing.



EN 13911:2017 (E)

B.9 Remove the facemask and the firehood from the headform, and allow the firehood to relax for 1 min.

B.10 Examine the firehood including shape, seams and any elastic/manually adjusted closure systems for distortion, stretching, damage or similar changes, in comparison with the observations made in B.1.

B.11 Don the firehood and breathing apparatus facemask following the order B.2, B.4 and B.5 and examine for any gap in the interface area between the firehood and the breathing apparatus facemask to ensure it is unchanged from B.4 and B.5 or B.8.

Annex C (normative)

Determination of property values

All the individual results of the specimens of a test shall meet the performance requirement.

If not otherwise specified the average result shall be given.

If a material exhibits differing behaviour for a property in the length and cross directions of the material, the resultant property value shall be the value obtained in the lesser performing direction.

In the event that only one specimen fails, another set of specimens shall be tested and the entire individual results of this second set of specimens shall meet the requirements. Otherwise, the sample is considered to have failed the requirement.
