Introduction
In many cases single garments are placed on the market to protect against local body cooling (for
ensembles see EN 342). These garments can be e.g. waistcoats, jackets, coats or trousers and/or
separable thermal linings. They can provide a certain degree of protection to cool environment for a
certain length of time, depending e.g. on the personal constitution and activity, the accompanying
clothing and the environmental features (wind speed, temperature, humidity). In critical situations
(e.g. combination of cold, moisture and wind, long exposure duration, no help nearby) it is important to
assess the cold protection properties of the garment (see Annex C), especially if the user cannot safely
identify the risk at moderate low temperatures above −5 °C in an appropriate time.
At moderate low temperatures above −5 °C garments against local body cooling are not only used for
outdoor activities e.g. in construction industry but can be used for indoor activities e.g. in food
processing industry. In these cases garments often do not need to be made of watertight or air
impermeable materials. Therefore, in this European Standard, these requirements are applicable if the
manufacturer claims in his instructions for use protection for hazards covered by these properties.
The resultant effective thermal insulation value I can be used to assess temperature ranges
cler
according to Tables C.1 and C.2.
If exposure to wet conditions is expected, EN 343 applies.
1 Scope
This European Standard specifies requirements and test methods for the performance of garments for
protection against the effects of cool environments above −5 °C (see Annex C). These effects comprise
not only low air temperatures, but also humidity and air velocity.
Cold protective ensembles are excluded from this standard.
The protective effects and requirements of footwear, gloves and separate head wear are excluded from
the scope of this standard.

4 Performance assessment and requirements
4.1 General requirements and innocuousness
4.1.1 General requirements
When tested in accordance with 6.2.1 the following requirements shall be met:
— the garment shall not have rough, sharp or hard surfaces that may irritate or injure the user;
— the jacket/coat or coverall shall be closable up to the collar or neckband;
— the jacket/coat shall be long enough to cover the tops of the trousers;
— external pockets intended to be used in wet conditions (see 4.4) shall be closable;
— closures, such as slide fasteners, fasteners, buttons etc. shall not open inadvertently;
— slide fasteners shall lock when completely closed.
NOTE Waistcoats can be lengthened at the back to protect the kidney region against the effects of cool
environment.
4.1.2 Innocuousness
When tested in accordance with 6.2.2 the requirements of EN ISO 13688:2013, 4.2, shall be met with
regard do innocuousness.
4.2 Thermal Resistance, R
ct
When tested in accordance with 6.3 the thermal resistance, R of all layers of the garment shall be
ct
classified in accordance with Table 1.

NOTE The maximum level of protection is given when the thermal insulation is adapted to the ambient
temperature and the activity level (examples are given in Annex C). In this case the wearer is in a thermally
neutral state. A too high thermal insulation leads to excessive sweating and wetting the garments. As a
consequence the effective thermal insulation of the garment is lowered.
Garments containing materials with a thermal resistance above 0,25 m K/W shall comply with 4.6.
4.3 Air permeability, AP
If the information supplied by the manufacturer indicates that the garment may be used outdoors, the
air permeability shall be classified in accordance with Table 2, when the material of the garment is
tested in accordance with 6.4.
Table 2 — Classification of air permeability AP
AP Class

100 < AP 1
5 < AP ≤ 100 2

Class 1 material layers of a garment should be considered as appropriate for low air velocities of less
than 1 m/s as e.g. in cool indoor environments.
Class 2 material layers should be appropriate for air velocities of less than 5 m/s.
NOTE Class 3 materials are appropriate for high air velocities ≥ 5 m/s e.g. common in outdoor activities.
4.4 Resistance to water penetration, WP
If the manufacturer claims in his information leaflet a resistance to water penetration, the material shall
have a minimum value of 8 000 Pa when tested according to 6.5.
4.5 Water vapour resistance, R

If the manufacturer claims protection against water penetration as in 4.4, the water vapour resistance
Ret shall be measured in accordance with 6.6. The water vapour resistance of the combination of
R
