Sioen EN469:2020 Firefighter Suit Jacket & Pants Size L

Sioen Firefighter Turnout Suit: Structural Jacket & Trousers (EN 469:2020 / SOLAS / MED) — Size L

The SIOEN Structural Firefighter Suit (Jacket and Pants Ensemble) is a multi-layer thermal protective turnout assembly engineered for marine engineering spaces, industrial plants, and municipal structural firefighting operations. Certified to the updated EN 469:2020 (Level 2: X2, Y2, Z2) performance harmonized standards and SOLAS/MED (Marine Equipment Directive) requirements, this ensemble offers protection against open flash flame, conductive heat transfer, and radiant exposure.

Manufactured with high-tenacity, inherently heat-resistant meta-aramid/para-aramid blended face fabrics, an ePTFE waterproof/breathable membrane, and a needle-punched aramid thermal barrier, this size Large (L) two-piece turnout system delivers moisture regulation and mechanical resistance without restricting mobility during interior compartment entries, engine room fires, or machinery space emergencies.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the EN 469:2020 Level 2 rating on this Sioen suit signify?

EN 469:2020 specifies European performance requirements for firefighter protective clothing. A Level 2 classification indicates the highest benchmark for structural and marine firefighting, providing verified protection against flame transfer (X2), liquid penetration resistance (Y2), and low thermal water vapor resistance for breathability (Z2).

Is this Sioen firefighting suit certified for marine vessels under SOLAS?

Yes. The suit meets the testing criteria outlined in IMO Resolution MSC.98(73) (FSS Code Chapter 3) and carries MED Module B/D (Wheelmark) compliance, making it approved for inclusion in commercial shipboard fire lockers under international maritime safety regulations.

How do I verify sizing for Size Large (L)?

The Size Large (L) ensemble is tailored to fit personnel with a chest circumference of 104–112 cm (41–44 inches), a waist circumference of 92–100 cm (36–39 inches), and a body height between 176 and 188 cm, accounting for underlying thermal protective undergarments and unrestricted knee flexion.

What is the fabric composition of the outer shell?

The outer shell is constructed from inherently flame-resistant aramid fabric (typically 93% meta-aramid, 5% para-aramid for high tensile tear resistance, and 2% static-dissipative carbon-core fibers). The flame retardance is inherent to the chemical structure of the polymer fibers and will not wash out over laundering cycles.

Does this turnout suit provide electrostatic protection in explosive atmospheres?

Yes. With the inclusion of antistatic conductive grid fibers, this suit conforms to EN 1149-5:2018 requirements, preventing static charge accumulation when working within hazardous areas like chemical tanker decks, oil terminals, or machinery bilges.
