This European Standard provides the reaction to fire classification procedure for electric cables. NOTE For the purpose of this European Standard the term "electric cables" covers all power, control and communication cables, including optical fibre cables.

This European Standard provides the reaction to fire classification procedure for all construction products, including products incorporated within building elements. Products are considered in relation to their end use application. This document applies to three categories, which are treated separately in this European Standard: - construction products, excluding floorings and linear pipe thermal insulation products; - floorings; - linear pipe thermal insulation products.

This European Standard specifies the minimum requirements, test methods, marking and information supplied by the manufacturer for ventilated and non-ventilated gas-tight chemical protective suits. It specifies full body personal protective ensembles to be worn for protection against solid, liquid and gaseous chemicals, including liquid and solid aerosols. This standard does not establish minimum criteria for protection for non-chemical hazards, e.g. radiological, fire, heat, explosive, infective agents. This type of equipment is not intended for total immersion in liquids. The seams, joins and assemblages attaching the accessories are included within the scope of this standard. This standard specifies only supplementary requirements for components. The basic performance criteria for the components gloves, boots or respiratory protective equipment are given in other European Standards. Particulate protection is limited to physical penetration of the particulates only.

This European Standard specifies testing, inspection and marking for the type approval, initial inspection, periodic inspection, intermediate inspection and exceptional check of metallic tanks (shell and equipment) of fixed tanks (tank vehicles), demountable tanks, rail tank wagons, portable tanks and tank containers for the transport of dangerous goods. This European Standard is not applicable to battery-vehicles and battery-wagons comprising cylinders, tubes, pressure drums, bundles of cylinders and multiple element gas containers (MEGCs), independent of whether the elements are receptacles or tanks. It is essential that the requirements of the applicable regulations for the transport of dangerous goods prevail in all cases over those of this standard.

This European Standard specifies requirements and test methods applicable to ready-made garments, materials and seams of protective clothing against the influence of precipitation (e.g. rain, snowflakes), fog and ground humidity.
