Common failures & inspection points

Thermal integrity and flame resistance degradation

Examine jacket, trousers, and helmet for visible burn marks, melting, discoloration, or material brittleness. Test heat resistance at seams and high-stress areas. Verify compliance with EN469:2020 thermal barrier performance limits (radiant, convective, contact heat protection)

Waterproof membrane integrity and breathability loss

Inspect for cracks, tears, or delamination in the four-layer membrane structure. Test breathability by measuring water vapor transmission rate. Verify tape-sealed seams remain intact. Check for liquid water penetration resistance

SCBA positive pressure system failure and regulator malfunction

Test mask positive pressure integrity with regulator safety valve activation. Verify audible chest alarm functions under noisy conditions. Inspect S-Mask for cracks and check plug-in regulator for blockages. Test ambient air hatch operation where applicable

Helmet structural integrity and electrical insulation degradation

Inspect ProBuddy helmet for cracks, impact damage, or material deformation. Test electrical insulation capacity (E2/E3). Verify chinstrap Nomex material condition and attachment security. Check polycarbonate visor for cloudiness, scratches, or coating loss

Glove and boot protective properties compromise

Inspect leather gloves for tears, brittleness, or water damage. Verify waterproof/breathable lining integrity. Check heat-resistant rubber boots for cracking, hardening, or sole separation. Confirm aramid lining protection against cuts and penetration
