本欧洲标准考虑了对整个身体的保护要求，包括头部，手部和脚部。然而，根据本欧洲标准的头部和脚部服装只能在与本欧洲标准第4.2和4.4段所述相关标准中规定的基本PPE一起使用时提供足够的保护。 本欧洲标准规定了用于专门消防的反光防护服的测试方法和最低性能要求。 这种服装提供了防止火焰舔和强烈辐射热的保护，仅在短时间内佩戴，以使消防员能够进入也需要使用呼吸器的具体的高风险消防和消防救援情况。 本欧洲标准仅适用于依赖外部材料反射强烈辐射热的能力的防护服。这种类型的反光衣服也可用于涉及高水平辐射热的工业应用。 EN 469中未涵盖本欧洲标准中规定的反光衣服

This European Standard considers requirements for the protection of the whole body including head, hands and feet. Clothing for head and feet according to this European Standard, however, may only provide sufficient protection when worn together with such basic PPE specified in the relevant standards as noted in paragraphs 4.2 and 4.4 of this European Standard. This European Standard specifies test methods and minimum performance requirements for reflective protective clothing used in specialised fire-fighting. This clothing provides protection against flame lick and intense radiant heat and is worn for short periods only, to enable the fire-fighter to enter specific high-risk fire-fighting and fire rescue situations which also require the use of breathing apparatus. This European Standard only covers protective clothing that relies upon the ability of the outer material to reflect intense radiant heat. This type of reflective clothing may also be used for industrial applications involving high levels of radiant heat. The reflective clothing specified in this European Standard is not covered in EN 469.
