About This Item
TS EN ISO 22359 is a guideline standard for hardened protective shelters, covering their design, use and maintenance. It gives direction on shelter layout, structures, equipment and shelter-related actions, offering a conceptual framework for planning and operating protective accommodation solutions. Hardened shelters are systems in which structural resistance, accessibility, internal arrangement and operational readiness need to be considered together.
Where the guidance is aimed
This standard is intended for organizations and individuals involved in decision-making, planning, implementation, administration, use or upkeep of shelters, including local, regional and national authorities, civil protection agencies, first responders, designers, contractors and equipment suppliers. In general technical terms, hardened protective shelters are not only about physical protection; they also depend on functionality, maintainability and practical use over the shelter’s service life.
What the standard does not cover
- It does not specify minimum requirements or exact property values for shelters or shelter-related actions.
- It does not cover rapidly erected temporary shelters, such as lightweight canvas weather shelters, tarp tent shelters, or metal and container shelters.
- Military shelters are outside its scope when additional requirements apply.
- It provides guidance rather than a prescriptive test standard.
