Sie macht Angaben zulegt Grundsätzen für die Verfasser von Produktnormen im Bereich PSA fest:
zu anthropometrischen Eigenschaften in Bezug auf PSA;
zur biomechanischen Interaktion zwischen PSA und dem menschlichen Körper;
zur thermischen Interaktion zwischen PSA und dem menschlichen Körper;
zur Interaktion zwischen PSA und den menschlichen Sinnen: Sehen, Hören, Riechen und Schmecken sowie Berührungsempfinden.
Diese Europäische Norm enthält keine Anforderungen bezüglich der spezifischen Gefährdung, gegen die die PSA bestimmungsgemäß schützen soll.
