Introduction
The purpose of this document is to support of the implementation of Regulation (EU) No 1007/2011
and of Article 5 and Annex II of Regulation (EU) 2016/425, by listing terms and defining them in
relation to the advanced garments and ensembles of garments that provide protection against heat and
flame, with integrated smart textiles and non-textile elements for enhanced health, safety and survival
capabilities.
This document is structured with subclauses related to the different (technical) facets which make up
smart garments providing protection against heat and flame.
Therefore, the listed terms and definitions took into consideration those from:
— The sector of textile and clothing (Clause 3.1);
— The sector of personal protective equipment – PPE – (Clause 3.2);
— The sector smart textiles (Clause 3.3);
— The sector of electronics (Clause 3.4);
— The sector of ergonomics (Clause 3.5);
— The sector of smart personal protective equipment – smart PPE – (Clause 3.6).
The main sources of existing terms and definitions are:
a) Regulation (EU) No 1007/2011 on textile fibre names and related labelling and marking of the fibre
composition of textile products (mainly referred to in Clause 3.1);
b) EN ISO 11610:— , Protective clothing - Vocabulary (mainly referred to in Clause 3.2);
c) ISO/TR 19591:2018, Personal protective equipment for firefighters - Standard terms and definitions
(mainly referred to in Clause 3.2);
d) ISO/TS 20141:— , Guideline on compatibility of PPE (mainly referred to in Clause 3.2);
e) CEN/TR 16298:2011 , Textile and textile products - Smart textiles - Definitions, categorization
applications and standardization needs (mainly referred to in Clause 3.3);
f) IEC 60050-151:2001, International Electrotechnical Vocabulary (IEV) - Part 151: Electrical and
magnetic devices (mainly referred to in Clause 3.4);
g) WI 00248652 , Textiles and textile products - Textiles with integrated electronics and ICT -
Definitions, categorization, applications and standardization needs (mainly referred to in
Clause 3.4);
h) ISO 9241-11:2018, Ergonomics of human-system interaction - Part 11: Usability: Definitions and
concepts (mainly referred to in Clause 3.5).
