FlamePro® Flash Hood/Turnout Hood/Balaclava
This category 3 PPE complies with the standard 13911: 2004 and meets the essential requirements of European Directive 89/686.
The FLAMEPRO® protective hood is mainly composed of heat-type aramid fibres with the addition of FR viscose to improve comfort and transfer sweat to the outside. It protects in case of accidental contact with flame. Designed to combine with the F1 or F2 helmet and all appropriate PPE which assures protection against heat and flames to the rest of the body.
FLAMEPRO® hood was tested according to Annex B of EN 13911:2004 with the following equipment:
Fire fighters jacket according to HuPF part 1 and EN 469, sample fire fighter PARIS
Fire fighters trousers according to HuPF part 4 and EN 469, sample fire fighter PARIS
Helmet according EN 443 , sample HPS 6100, Dräger and sample MSA GALLET F1 and F2
Protective gloves according to EN 659
Mask according to EN 136, sample Elite Ultra, Auer and sample FENZI
Breathing apparatus according to EN 136
The user should check for themselves the compatibility of the hood with their own equipment.
Be sure to inspect your FLAMEPRO® hood before and after each operation or training exercise.
Any hood damage (burns, holes, open seams, loss of elasticity, tear) will effectively negate the protection under this standard.
