Scope: What is ISO 16073‑3- Requirements and test methods for clothing of wildland firefighting PPE about? ISO 16073 discusses requirements and test methods for wildland firefighting PPE. ISO 16073‑3 is an international standard on requirements and test methods for clothing of wildland firefighting PPE to prevent wildland firefighters from fire hazards. ISO 16073‑3 is the third part of a multi-part series that specifies test methods and minimum performance requirements for personal protective clothing, designed to protect the wearer’s body, except for the head, hands, and feet, that is worn during wildland firefighting and associated activities. This clothing is not intended to protect fire entrapment. ISO 16073‑3 covers the general design of the garment, the minimum level of performance for the materials employed, and the methods of test to determine these levels. Note1: ISO 16073‑3 does not apply to clothing for use in situations encountered in structural firefighting, rescue, or where a high level of infrared radiation is expected, nor does ISO 16073‑3 covers clothing to protect against chemical, biological, electrical, or radiation hazards.
