3 Protective function of the clothing and a list of harmonized norms: Protective garment underwear (additional garment to be worn with protective clothing against heat and flame) protects the wearer s body except hands and feet from heat and/or flame. It is also electrostatic dissipative clothing, used as a part of a total earthed system, to avoide incendiary discharges. ČSN EN ISO 13688:2014 (EN ISO 13688:2013) Protective clothing General requirements ČSN EN :2008 ( EN :2008) Protective clothing Electrostatic properties ČSN EN ISO 11612:2015 (EN ISO 11612:2015) Protective clothing Clothing to protect against heat and flame Limited flame spread A1, A2 Convective heat B1 Radiant heat C1 Contact heat F1 3

4 Clothing service life: Duration of the protective clothing using is not fixed. Expected service life is within the range from 2 to 4 years in case of average utilization. It is protective clothing which means that it can be damaged during some working activity. In such case the following steps have to be done: Clean the clothing according to the instructions Ensure skilled revision of the clothing by a responsible person (producer, skilled distributor, or skilled person of a particular fire station) In case of need repair it (to ensure safety the clothing should be repaired at the PRODUCER or a skilled person) In case of excessive damage and failure of the protective properties of the clothing when the repair is not worthwhile, we recommend to put it out of use Maintenance: We recommend delicate washing at 40 C All closures (zippers, press buttons, velcros, buttons, carabines) must be properly closed to avoid abrasionph of washing bath must not be higher than 9. Do not use detergents with bleaching effects. Optimal level of machine loading is 2/3, with maximum possible water level and lower spinning speeds. If the garment has removable insert, always wash the outer parts separately from inserts. If inserts are not soiled, remove them and wash just the outer parts to prevent unnecessary wear of moisture and thermal barrier. Do not use any softeners! No tumble dry Optimal is hang dry 4

5 Iron at maximal temperature 110 C, carefully with steam. Do not Bleach! The product can be cleaned by tetrachlorethen, monofluortrichlormethan and all dissolution reagents stated under a symbol F. Usual cleaning steps are without a limitation Professional wet cleaning. Ordinary cleaning procedures. Finally we would like to draw your attention to a fact that material NOMEX is as other chemical materials with high share of paraaramide sensitive to direct daylight. To eliminate mechanical and visual abrasion of the outer material of the garment it is essential to observe right laundering procedures, eventually timely done re-impregnation. We are absolutely convinced that the most sensitive part at laundering is the time, the temperature and loading of the washing and drying process. We can say that excessive temperature and over drying can result in excessive shrinkage. We absolutely recommend keeping an evidence list of the clothing service and maintenance (Appendix 1). Decontamination (Disinfection) : Intervention clothing infected by biological material must be treated with hydrogen peroxide and peracetic acid-based concentrates activated during machine washing. Do not use chlorine-based products. Recommended disinfection agents are suitable for white, as well as color textiles, except wool and silk. Their utilization is in accordance with European microbicide standards EN 1650 and EN Disinfection agents are effective at 40 C and a longer washing cycle of at least 20 minutes. The exact dosage will be specified by your chemicals supplier based on the intervention clothing types. 5

6 Washing and decontamination agents that can be used for intervention clothing are in the chart bellow: Storage: Storage of the clothing does not require any special conditions. Protect the clothing against direct sunlight and UV radiation. Packing: Plastic bag, paper box Instructions for users: In case of accidental stain by a liquid chemical substance or flammable liquid during the wear at a place with a fire and/or heat exposure immediately leave the place, take the clothing off and clean it, possibly do not use anymore and put it out of service. Person wearing the protective clothing diffusing an electrostatic charge must be properly grounded. Electric resistance between person and earth must be smaller than It can be secured by wearing of suitable shoes for example. The clothing must not be taken off at vicinity of flammable or explosive atmosphere, or during handling of flammable or explosive matters. The clothing must not be also used in the environment enriched by oxygen without previous approval by a responsible safety technician. The electrostatic protective function of the protective clothing can be influenced by wearing and tearing, washing and possible contamination. The protective clothing diffusing the electrostatic charge must cover permanently all materials without this property during using. 6
