Overview
BS EN 13921 provides guidance on the generic ergonomic characteristics related to personal protective equipment (PPE).
BS EN 13921 specifies for the writers of PPE product standards, principles relating to:
- anthropometric characteristics related to PPE;
- the biomechanical interaction between PPE and the human body;
- the thermal interaction between PPE and the human body;
- the interaction between PPE and the human senses: vision; hearing; smell and taste; and skin contact.
BS EN 13921 does not cover requirements related to the specific hazard for which PPE is designed.
