ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards

bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out

through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical

committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International

organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.

ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of

electrotechnical standardization.

Introduction

Protective clothing against radiant heat is worn at different occasions and accordingly the radiation

intensity (characterised by the heat flux density) acting on the clothing material extends over a

wide range. This European Standard describes two test methods which can be applied to all sorts of

materials, but, according to the intended use of the material, the heat flux density has to be chosen

properly and the results have to be interpreted correctly,

Industrial workers or fire fighters may be exposed to a relatively low radiation intensity over a long

period of time. On the other hand, industrial workers or fire fighters may be exposed to medium

radiation intensities for relatively short periods of time or to high radiation intensities for very short

periods of time. In the latter case, the clothing material may be changed or even destroyed.

The materials for the protective clothing should be tested at medium and high heat flux densities.

The reaction on method A and the times t and t and transmission factor measured with method B

12 24
characterise the material. Information of the precision of method B see annex A.

DRAFT INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO/DIS 6942:2021(E)
Protective clothing — Protection against heat and fire
— Method of test: Evaluation of materials and material
assemblies when exposed to a source of radiant heat
1 Scope

This document specifies two complementary methods (method A and method B) for determining the

behaviour of materials for heat protective clothing subjected to heat radiation.

These tests are carried out on representative single or multi-layer textiles or other materials intended

for clothing for protection against heat. They are also applicable to assemblies, which correspond to the

overall build up of a heat protective clothing assembly with or without underclothing,

Method A serves for visual assessment of any changes in the material after the action of heat radiation.

With method B the protective effect of the materials is determined. The materials may be tested either

by both methods or only by one of them.

The tests according to these two methods serve to classify materials; however, to be able to make a

statement or prediction as to the suitability of a material for protective clothing additional criteria

must be taken into account.

Since the tests are carried out at room temperature the results do not necessarily correspond to the

behaviour of the materials at higher ambient temperatures and therefore are only to a limited extent

suitable for predicting the performance of the protective clothing made from the materials under test.

Time t The time in seconds expressed to one decimal place, to achieve a calorimeter temperature

rise of (24 ± 0,2) °C
3.2
heat transmission factor (TF)

A measure of the fraction of heat transmitted through a specimen exposed to a source of radiant heat. It

is numerically equal to the ratio of the transmitted to the incident heat flux density.

3.3
test specimen

All the layers of fabric or other material arranged in the order and orientation as used in practice and

including undergarments if appropriate.
3.4
incident heat flux density:

The amount of energy incident per unit time on the exposed face of the calorimeter, expressed in kW/

m .
3.5
radiant heat transfer index (RHTI)

A number, calculated from the mean time (measured in seconds, to one decimal place) to achieve a

specified temperature rise in the calorimeter when testing by this method with a specified incident

heat flux density.
3.6
change in appearance of the specimen

All changes in appearance of the material (shrinkage, formation of char, discoloration, scorching,

glowing melting etc.).
3.8
multi-layer clothing assembly
series of layers in garments arranged in the order as worn

Note 1 to entry: It may contain multi-layer materials , material combinations or separate layers of clothing

material in single layers.
4 Principle
4.1 Method A

A specimen is supported in a free-standing frame (specimen holder) and is exposed to a specific level

of radiant heat for a specific time. The level of radiant heat is set by adjustment of the distance between

the specimen and the thermal radiation source. Following the exposure, the specimen and its individual

layers, are examined for visible changes.
4.2 Method B

A specimen is supported in a free-standing frame (specimen holder) and is exposed to a specific level of

radiant heat. The times for temperature rises of 12 °C and 24 °C in the calorimeter are recorded and are

expressed as radiant heat transfer indexes. The percentage heat transmission factor is calculated from

the temperature rise data and is also reported.
