Introduction
In many cases single garments are placed on the market to protect against local body cooling (for
ensembles see EN 342). These garments can be e.g. waistcoats, jackets, coats or trousers and/or
separable thermal linings. They can provide a certain degree of protection to cool environment for a
certain length of time, depending e.g. on the personal constitution and activity, the accompanying
clothing and the environmental features (wind speed, temperature, humidity). In critical situations
(e.g. combination of cold, moisture and wind, long exposure duration, no help nearby) it is important to
assess the cold protection properties of the garment (see Annex C), especially if the user cannot safely
identify the risk at moderate low temperatures above −5 °C in an appropriate time.
At moderate low temperatures above −5 °C garments against local body cooling are not only used for
outdoor activities e.g. in construction industry but can be used for indoor activities e.g. in food
processing industry. In these cases garments often do not need to be made of watertight or air
impermeable materials. Therefore, in this European Standard, these requirements are applicable if the
manufacturer claims in his instructions for use protection for hazards covered by these properties.
The resultant effective thermal insulation value I can be used to assess temperature ranges
cler
according to Tables C.1 and C.2.
If exposure to wet conditions is expected, EN 343 applies.

This European Standard specifies requirements and test methods for the performance of garments for
protection against the effects of cool environments above −5 °C (see Annex C). These effects comprise

NOTE The maximum level of protection is given when the thermal insulation is adapted to the ambient
temperature and the activity level (examples are given in Annex C). In this case the wearer is in a thermally
neutral state. A too high thermal insulation leads to excessive sweating and wetting the garments. As a
consequence the effective thermal insulation of the garment is lowered.

Introduction
In many cases single garments are placed on the market to protect against local body cooling (for
ensembles see EN 342). These garments can be e. g. waistcoats, jackets, coats or trousers and/or
separable thermal linings. They can provide a certain degree of protection to cool environment for a
certain length of time, depending e. g. on the personal constitution and activity, the accompanying

situation (e. g. low effective temperature, long exposure duration, no help nearby) the more important it
is to assess the cold protection properties of the garment (see Annex B), especially if the user cannot
safely identify the risk at low temperature in an appropriate time.
At moderate low temperatures (e. g. between -5 °C and +15 °C) garments against local body cooling are
not only used for outdoor activities e. g. in construction industry but can be used for indoor activities
e. g. in food processing industry. In these cases garments often do not need to be made of watertight or

the manufacturer claims in his instructions for use protection for hazards covered by these properties.

protection against hypothermia and/or local cooling
3.3
ensemble
clothing consisting of a two-piece suit or one-piece suit (coverall) or a number of garments covering the
body, except head, hands and feet and providing protection against hypothermia

thermal lining
non-watertight layer providing thermal insulation
3.5
thermal resistance (insulation) R
ct
temperature difference between the two faces of a material divided by the resultant heat flux per unit
area in the direction of the gradient
[SOURCE: EN ISO 11092:2014, 2.1]
Note 1 to entry: It is a quantity specific to textile materials or composites which determine the dry heat flux
across a given area in response to a steady applied temperature gradient. The dry heat flux may consist of one or
more conductive, convective and radiant components.
Note 2 to entry Thermal resistance is expressed in square metres kelvin per watt.
3.6
water vapour resistance R
et
water-vapour pressure difference between the two faces of a material divided by the resultant
evaporative heat flux per unit area in the direction of the gradient
[SOURCE: EN ISO 11092:2014, 2.2]
Note 1 to entry: It is a quantity specific to textile materials or composites, which determines the “latent”
evaporative heat flux across a given area in response to a steady applied water-vapour pressure gradient. The
evaporative heat flux may consist of both diffusive and convective components.
Note 2 to entry: Water-vapour resistance is expressed in square metres pascal per watt.
3.7
resultant effective thermal insulation l
cler
thermal insulation from skin to outer clothing surface under defined conditions measured with or
calculated for a moving manikin determined in relation to the naked body surface area

3.8
insulation required IREQ
required resultant thermal insulation calculated on the basis of the thermal parameters of the
environment (e. g. air temperature, mean radiant temperature, air velocity, relative humidity) and the
body metabolism

resistance to water penetration WP
hydrostatic pressure supported by a material is a measure of the opposition to the passage of water
through material
Note 1 to entry: The value is expressed in Pa.

air permeability
velocity of an air flow passing perpendicularly through a test specimen under specified conditions of
test area, pressure drop and time

4 Performance assessment and requirements
4.1 Ergonomics and innocuousness
When tested in accordance with 6.1 the requirements of EN ISO 13688 shall be met in regard to
innocuousness and ergonomics. Additionally the following requirements shall apply as well:
The jacket/coat or coverall shall be closable up to the collar or neckband and shall be long enough to
cover the tops of the trousers even when the wearer is bending over.
External pockets on jackets and coveralls intended to be used in wet conditions (see 4.4) shall be
closable.
Closures, such as slide fasteners, fasteners, buttons etc. shall not be opened when wearing the garment
under foreseeable conditions and duration. Slide fasteners shall lock when completely closed.
NOTE Waistcoats can be lengthened at the back to protect the kidney region against the effects of cold.
4.2 Thermal Resistance, R
ct
When tested in accordance with 6.2 the thermal resistance R of all layers of the garment shall be in
ct
accordance with Table 1.

NOTE The maximum level of protection is given when the thermal insulation is adapted to the ambient
temperature and the activity level (Examples are given in Annex B). In this case the wearer is in a thermally
neutral state. A too high thermal insulation leads to excessive sweating and wetting the garments. As a
consequence the effective thermal insulation of the garment is lowered.

Garments containing materials with a thermal resistance above 0,25 m K/W might be intended for use
in cold environments and therefore shall be assessed according to 4.6.
