EN ISO 11612
Protective clothing to protect against heat and flame

This standard specifies PPE Clothing when working where there is a risk that the garments will come into contact with heat and flame. For full body protection, the protective clothing system shall cover neck, torso, arms and legs with a single garment (a boilersuit) or a two-piece garment system (combination of jacket and trousers certified to the same level).

The standard is divided into different categories, where the code letters show which heat and flame requirements the garment needs to fulfill. At least two categories must be tested to be able to CE mark the garments. Code letter A1 or A1+A2 plus at least one other code letter (B, C, D, E or F) is mandatory and the result is included on the CE label, together with this symbol. The code letters are classified in different levels where the highest number is the highest tested level. The design of the garment is also a parameter in the CE marking for heat and flame garments. FR garments certified according to EN ISO 11612 B3, C2-C4, D2-D3, E2-E3 and F3 come under PPE Regulation Category III.
