Thanks Splashdown, beetroot, that’s what I was looking for.
Before the regs were published I suspected that the refuellers suit would have to be a higher spec than last year’s Manx as the initial spec we were given a few weeks before the Manx last year were for the FIA 8856-2000 suits. It was mainly the other attendant’s suits I was thinking about. If the proban coated overalls to EN531 and EN533 are still acceptable for this then it’s not too bad as these aren’t very expensive. I suppose the refuellers suits brought last year that doesn’t meet the current requirements can be used by someone else in the pit crew.
Kursaal, your right the FIA specs are a completely standalone spec. In my opinion that is why they are so expensive. Manufactures have to make back the cost of getting them approved with a relatively limited market to sell to.
