本欧洲标准规定了野外消防头盔的最低要求，保护上部头部，主要是在野外环境中进行消防和相关活动时，抵抗冲击，穿透，热，火焰和燃烧余烬的影响。包括制造商提供的标记和信息要求。野地灭火涉及直接和间接攻击技术（如木材切割）。这种头盔不是为了在火灾期间提供保护。 野地环境包括森林，作物，种植园和草地/荒地/灌木或农田。 建筑物和其他结构的消防用的头盔不在本欧洲标准范围内（见EN 443）。 脸部，眼睛，耳朵和颈部的保护可能需要额外的PPE项目，这些不属于本欧洲标准

This European Standard specifies the minimum requirements for wildland fire fighting helmets protecting the upper head mainly against the effects of impact, penetration, heat, flame and burning embers whilst conducting fire fighting and associated activities in wildland environments. Requirements for marking and information to be supplied by the manufacturer are included. Wildland fire fighting involves direct and indirect attack techniques (like wood cutting). This helmet is not intended to provide protection during fire entrapment. Wildland environments include forests, crops, plantations and grass/heath/scrub or farmland. Helmets for use whilst fire fighting in buildings and other structures are not covered by this European Standard (see EN 443). Protection of the face, eyes, ears and neck may require additional items of PPE, which are not covered by this European Standard.
