18、document supersedes EN 13537:2002. In comparison with EN 13537:2002, the following changes have been made: a) the calibration of thermal manikins for the measurement of thermal insulation of a sleeping bag has been introduced following the results of an extensive round robin test between 6 laborator

19、ies using a reference set of sleeping bags. This has improved the precision and reproducibility of the test results; b) the test procedure of the thermal resistance measurement of the sleeping bag with the thermal manikin has been specified in more detail, improving the reproducibility of the test r

20、esults; c) a pre-treatment has been introduced for the thermal property tests for the sleeping bag; d) measurement of the inside dimensions of sleeping bags has been included. It was formally specified in EN 13538-1 which has been withdrawn; e) the thickness and elastic recovery of the sleeping bag,

21、 as determined by EN 13538-2, has been deleted from the requirements; f) the easiness of packaging of the sleeping bag, as determined by EN 13538-3, has been deleted from the requirements; g) based on new research, the extreme temperature limits in Table 1 have been recalculated and amended.

24、ng permitted without license from IHS-,-,-BS EN 13537:2012EN 13537:2012 (E) 4 Introduction This European Standard has been substantially revised. The objectives of the revision were to simplify the standard by deleting requirements and test methods which had not been proven to be sufficiently reprod

25、ucible or which did not contribute to the safety and quality performance of sleeping bags. The revision was also conducted in order to improve the inter-laboratory variability and repeatability of the test method for determination of the thermal properties of a sleeping bag. Since the last edition o

26、f this European Standard, products in the market have evolved to reflect the changing needs of the user. It was the intention of the committee during this revision that the standard would reflect these continuous and changing needs and not become restrictive in respect of future technology and advan

27、ces in the manufacturing industry. In buying a sleeping bag, the consumer expects (along with other aspects such as functional design, good fit, low weight and volume and durability), information regarding which temperature range the sleeping bag can be used. This temperature range serves to prevent

28、 the person in the bag feeling too cold on the one hand or too hot, combined with unpleasant sweating, on the other. The primary aim of this European Standard is to provide this information to the consumer by specifying a test procedure and an evaluation model to quantify the thermophysiological fun

29、ction of sleeping bags (see also Annex E). An inter-laboratory test, involving six different laboratories, was organised within the present CEN working group on a set of six sleeping bags filled with feathers and downs and synthetics. Six human shaped thermal manikins were used, consisting of 6 to 3

30、5 independent segments and corresponding to the requirements for testing protective clothing against cold. The test showed the following conclusions: even with multi-sectional manikins, the design and especially the number of independent sections can influence the value of thermal resistance by up t

31、o 20 %; yet the test results of thermal resistance with all manikins showed a maximum difference of 10 % (leading e.g. to a difference in Tlimof 3,0 C for a sleeping bag with Tlim= 0 C); the weight of the manikin did not significantly effect the test results.

33、 bags for use in sports and leisure time activities. This European Standard does not apply to sleeping bags intended for specific purpose such as military use and extreme climate zone expedition. It does not apply to sleeping bags for children or babies: no prediction model exists for the determinat

34、ion of the limiting temperatures based on the thermal resistance of the sleeping bag for these demographics. Moreover, such a model for testing cannot be developed because the necessary controlled sleep trials with children or babies in climatic chambers are, out of ethical reasons, not permitted. T

35、his European Standard describes the method for the assessment of the performance in steady state conditions of a sleeping bag with regard to the protection against cold. 2 Normative references The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and are indispens
