DIN 14880:2025-07

Boxes described in this document are intended to hold firefighting equipment, such as hand tools, power tools, loading kits, dressing material, and medical equipment. They are primarily carried on fire-brigade vehicles. This amendment to the previous edition of DIN 14880 from December 2013 is, among other things, intended to achieve the following: - expand material options for the box; - the entire interior of the box shall be equipped with an easily removable organization system; - tool storage in a logical manner, taking ergonomic principles into consideration; - protection of the contents against slipping and damage during storage; - where possible, individual storage of individual items. For this purpose the standard differs from DIN 14880:2013-12 as follows: - alternative materials (A) have been included; - mass for Type 1 cases without lids has been increased; - a requirement has been added that handles shall not be made of belt material; - designs as a trolley and/or with shoulder straps are now permitted. This document has been prepared by Working Committee NA 031-04-09 AA "Sonstige Ausrüstung - SpA zu CEN/TC 192/WG 5" ("Other equipment - mirror committee of CEN/TC 192/WG 5") at DIN Standards Committee Firefighting and Fire Protection (FNFW).
