17、ts and test methods for protective clothing ensembles and garments against cold in the interest of especially manufacturers, test institutes and end-users. The measured properties and their subsequent classification are intended to ensure an adequate protection level under different user conditions.

18、 Thermal insulation of the ensemble or garment and the air permeability are the essential properties to be tested and marked on the label. Thermal insulation is the most important property and it is measured by using a full-sized thermal manikin with the ensemble or garment and accompanying referenc

19、e clothing in order to account for the effect of layers, fit, drape, coverage and shape. In this respect this standard differs from many other standards specifying only material properties. The insulation is tested with new ensembles and garments. It should be recognized that ensembles and garments

20、in frequent use may lose significant insulation capacity due to laundering and wear. In general high quality products and well maintained clothing are less affected in this respect. Wind may considerably increase convective heat losses. Therefore, the air permeability of the outer garment material i

21、s an important factor to be taken into account in relation to the protection of the wearer against cold. The insulation requirements and air effects for given conditions can be assessed by methods given in ENV ISO 11079. By this method the resultant effective thermal insulation value l clercan be de

22、termined and used to define temperature ranges (see Tables B.1 and B.2). Therefore the protective value of a clothing ensemble is evaluated by comparing its measured insulation value and the calculated required insulation value (IREQ). This comparison is the basis of Tables B.1and B.2. This guidance

23、 information for the selection of the appropriate cold protective garment(s) is one of the benefits, if the resultant effective thermal insulation value l clerof the garment(s) has been measured on a thermal manikin. Sweating should be avoided in continuous cold exposure, since moisture absorption w

24、ill progressively reduce insulation. This is best controlled by selecting optimal rather than maximal insulation and flexible, adjustable garments rather than fixed and closed ensembles. It is more efficient to get rid of heat and moisture by ventilation of clothing through adjustable openings and b

25、utton-up, than by passive diffusion through layers of garments. When the environment is below freezing, very little, if any, water vapour escapes through the material because of condensation and, eventually, it can freeze in clothing. In some conditions with intermittent exposures (e.g. cold store w

26、ork) or in conditions close to and above 0 C the water vapour resistance value of fabrics become increasingly important and fabrics with a low value may contribute to improved heat balance and thermal comfort. For protection of a specific part of the body, EN 14058 applies. BS EN 342:2004EN 342:2004
