Contents: technical requirements (insulating clothing with helmet, internal and external gloves, shoes and boots; life-support system; sizes; protection of workers during short-term (at least 20min) stays in temperatures up to 523K (250°C) and exposure to thermal radiation up to 5.6kW/m2; underwear conditions; average temperature of underwear: 15-30°C; temperature of respirable gas mixture: 5-33°C; heat resistance of coverall: not less than 0.8°C/m2/W; materials of external coat, hoses, etc.); methods of testing (testing of life-support systems, method for determining the heat resistance). The principle of operation of the life-support system is appended.
