This British Standard specifies requirements and test methods for coveralls, which are to be used predominantly but not exclusively by police and prison officers in specialist operational situations and in training, and which are intended to provide protection against heat and flame and small volumes of certain liquids.
It is applicable to single and two-piece garments, single-layer garments, multi-layer garments and garment assemblies requiring use of a specific undergarment.
This British Standard does not cover other protective features such as electrostatic, cut or slash resistance.
NOTE Civilian groups working alongside police or prison services in specialist operational situations might find by risk assessment that this standard offers additional protection for such activities and threats not considered by other standards.
