Your safety depends on it

Inspections

At SIOEN FIRE, we know that optimal protection depends on regular inspections. Before, during, and after each washing cycle, we carry out thorough checks to verify the integrity of your firefighting gear.
Inspections

2 key stages

How to verify your firefighter kit

This video guides you through the correct procedure to inspect and verify your firefighter kit.

Water Repellency Tests

To ensure protection against moisture, we perform spray tests in accordance with EN ISO 4920. If the garment does not meet the required Level 4 performance, a specialised re-impregnation treatment is immediately applied.

Objective

  1. Ensure that each garment maintains its thermal, mechanical, and chemical protection performance

  2. Quickly detect any defect that could compromise the wearer’s safety

  3. Optimise the lifespan of your protective equipment
