Protective clothing against heat and flame - Part 1: Test method for complete garments - Measurement of transferred energy using an instrumented manikin (ISO 13506-1:2017)

This International Standard provides the general principles of a test method for evaluating the
performance of complete garments or protective clothing ensembles in a flash fire or other short
duration fire exposure. This test method characterizes the thermal protection provided by garments,
based on the measurement of heat transfer to a full-size manikin exposed to a laboratory simulation of
a fire with controlled heat flux, duration and
flame distribution. The heat transfer data is summed over a prescribed time to give the total
transferred energy. The heat transfer measurements can also be used to calculate the predicted skin
burn injury resulting
from the exposure. In addition, observations are recorded on the overall behaviour of the test
specimen during and after the exposure.
This method is useful for three types of evaluation:
a) comparison of garment or ensemble materials;
b) comparison of garment or ensemble design;
c) evaluation of any garment or ensemble prototype for a particular application or to a specification.
Each type of evaluation has different garment or ensemble requirements because the test results are
dependent on the test material performance, on the garment size, on the garment design and on the
use of ensemble components.
The results obtained apply only to the particular garments or ensembles, as tested, and for the
specified conditions of each test, particularly with respect to the heat flux, duration and flame
distribution. For the
purposes of this test method, the incident heat flux is limited to a nominal level of 84 kW/m2 and
limited to exposure durations of less than 20 s.
This International Standard is intended to be used to measure and describe the behaviour of complete
garments or protective clothing ensembles in response to convective and radiant energy under
controlled
laboratory conditions, with the results used to optimize garment combinations and designs. This test
method does not simulate high radiant exposures such as those found in arc flashes exposures, some
types of fire
exposures where liquid or solid fuels are involved, nor exposure to nuclear explosions. This
International Standard is not intended to be used to compare the properties of garment materials or
combinations of materials unless the test specimens are absolutely identical in size and design.
However, as the interaction of material behaviour and garment design may require specific design
considerations for a
specific material, the design used should be a “good” design for all the materials to be compared.
Furthermore, this International Standard is not intended to be used to describe or appraise the fire
hazard or
fire risk under actual fire conditions. However, the results of this test can be used as elements of a fire
risk assessment which takes into account all of the factors that are pertinent to an assessment of the
fire hazard of
a particular end use. Considerations for the use of this test method are provided in Annex A. Interlaboratory
data for the test method are provided in Annex B.
NOTE 1 This test method provides information on material behaviour and a measurement of garment
performance on a stationary upright manikin. The relative size of the garment and the manikin and the
fit of the garment on the shape of
the manikin have an important influence on the performance. The effects of body position and
movement are not addressed in this test method.
NOTE 2 This test method does not apply to the evaluation of protection for the hands or the feet
NOTE 3 This test method is complex and requires a high degree of technical expertise in both the test
setup and operation.
NOTE 4 Deviations from the instructions in this test method can lead to significantly different test results. Technical
knowledge concerning fabric behaviour and the theory of heat transfer and testing practices is needed in order to evaluate
which deviations are significant with respect to the instructions given in this test method. (...)

Schutzkleidung gegen Hitze und Flammen - Prüfverfahren für vollständige Bekleidung - Teil 1: Messung der Wärmeübertragung unter Verwendung einer sensorbestückten Prüfpuppe (ISO 13506-1:2017)

Dieses Dokument bestimmt die Gesamtanforderungen, Einrichtungen und Berechnungsverfahren zum Erhalt von Ergebnissen, welche zur Bewertung der Leistungsfähigkeit vollständiger Bekleidungen oder Schutzkleidungsensembles verwendet werden können, die einer Beflammung von kurzer Dauer ausgesetzt sind.
Dieses Prüfverfahren legt ein Bewertungssystem zur Charakterisierung des Hitzeschutzes fest, der von einlagigen und mehrlagigen, aus flammbeständigen Materialien bestehenden Kleidungsstücken bereitge-stellt wird. Jeglicher Materialaufbau, wie beispielsweise beschichtet, wattiert oder in Verbundbauweise, kann verwendet werden. Die Bewertung basiert auf der Messung der Wärmeübertragung auf eine lebens-große Prüfpuppe, die im Rahmen einer Brandsimulation in einem Labor mit kontrolliertem Wärmestrom, kontrollierter Dauer und Flammenverteilung einer Konvektions- und Strahlungswärme ausgesetzt wird. Die Daten der Wärmeübertragung werden über einen vorgeschriebenen Zeitraum addiert, um die gesamte Wärmeübertragung anzugeben.
Für die Zwecke des vorliegenden Prüfverfahrens wird der einwirkende Wärmestrom auf eine Nennstärke von 84 kW/m2 sowie auf eine Expositionsdauer von 3 s bis 12 s in Abhängigkeit der Risikobewertung und der Erwartungen an die thermische Isolierungsfähigkeit des Kleidungsstücks begrenzt. Die erhaltenen Messwerte gelten nur für die jeweiligen geprüften Kleidungsstücke oder Ensembles und für die festgelegten Bedingungen jeder Prüfung, besonders hinsichtlich des Wärmestromes, der Expositionsdauer und Flammenverteilung.
Dieses Prüfverfahren erfordert eine Sichtprüfung, Beobachtung und Inspektion des Gesamtverhaltens der Probe während und nach der Exposition, da das Kleidungsstück oder das gesamte Ensemble an der Prüfpuppe vor, während und nach der Flammenaussetzung aufgezeichnet wird. Bildmaterial vom Kleidungs¬stück oder vom gesamten Ensemble an der Prüfpuppe (d. h. Video und Standbilder) wird vor, während und nach der Flammenexposition aufgezeichnet. Dies gilt auch für die Bewertung von Schutzausrüstung für Hände oder Füße, wenn diese nicht mit Sensoren ausgestattet sind. Das Prüfverfahren ist bei den Grenzflächen der geprüften Ensembles auf Sichtprüfung beschränkt. Die Auswirkungen von Körperhaltung und Bewegung sind nicht Gegenstand dieses Prüfverfahrens.
Die Wärmestrommessungen können ebenfalls zur Berechnung der voraussichtlichen Hautverbrennungen durch die Exposition verwendet werden (siehe ISO 13506 2).
Dieses Prüfverfahren simuliert weder hohe Expositionen von Wärmestrahlung, wie sie bei einer Kurzschlusslichtbogenexposition oder bei einigen Expositionsarten gegenüber Flammen, wo flüssige oder feste Kraftstoffe beteiligt sind, auftreten können noch Expositionen von nuklearen Explosionen.
ANMERKUNG 1   Dieses Prüfverfahren liefert Informationen zu Materialverhalten und Messwerte für die Leistungs-fähigkeit von Materialien und Kleidungsstücken an einer unbeweglichen, aufrecht stehenden Prüfpuppe. Die jeweilige Größe des Kleidungsstückes und der Prüfpuppe und die Passform des Kleidungsstückes an der Puppe haben bedeutenden Einfluss auf die Leistung.
ANMERKUNG 2   Dieses Prüfverfahren ist komplex und erfordert einen hohen Grad technischen Sachverstands sowohl beim Prüfaufbau als auch bei der Durchführung der Prüfung.
ANMERKUNG 3   Selbst geringfügige Abweichungen von den Anweisungen in diesem Prüfverfahren können zu signifikant unterschiedlichen Prüfergebnissen führen.

Vêtements de protection contre la chaleur et les flammes - Partie 1: Méthode d'essai pour vêtements complets - Mesurage de l'énergie transférée à l'aide d'un mannequin instrumenté (ISO 13506-1:2017)

ISO 13506-1:2017 spécifie l'ensemble des exigences, le matériel et les méthodes de calcul donnant des résultats pouvant servir à l'évaluation de la performance de vêtements complets ou d'ensembles de vêtements de protection exposés pendant une courte durée à un embrasement.
Cette méthode d'essai détermine un système de classement pour caractériser la protection thermique apportée par des vêtements monocouches et multicouches constitués de matériaux résistants à la flamme. Tout type d'assemblage de matériaux, tel que l'enduction, le matelassé ou le sandwich, peut être utilisé. Le classement s'appuie sur la mesure du transfert de chaleur à un mannequin grandeur nature exposé à une énergie par convection et par rayonnement dans une simulation de feu en laboratoire, avec un flux de chaleur, une durée et une distribution des flammes maîtrisés. Les données de transfert de chaleur sont totalisées sur une durée prescrite pour obtenir l'énergie totale transférée.
Aux fins de la présente méthode d'essai, le flux de chaleur incident est limité à un niveau nominal de 84 kW/m2 et à des durées d'exposition de 3 s à 12 s en fonction de l'évaluation du risque et des attentes en matière de capacité d'isolation thermique du vêtement. Les résultats obtenus ne s'appliquent qu'aux vêtements ou ensembles de vêtements particuliers, tels que soumis à essai, et pour les conditions spécifiées de chaque essai, notamment en ce qui concerne le flux de chaleur, la durée et la distribution des flammes.
Cette méthode d'essai nécessite une évaluation, une observation et une inspection visuelles du comportement global de l'éprouvette durant et après l'exposition, le vêtement ou l'ensemble de vêtements complet installé sur le mannequin étant examiné avant, pendant et après l'exposition à la flamme. Les visuels du vêtement ou de l'ensemble de vêtements complet installé sur le mannequin sont enregistrés (c'est-à-dire au moyen de vidéos et d'images fixes) avant, pendant et après l'exposition à la flamme. Cela s'applique également à l'évaluation de la protection des mains ou des pieds, lorsque ces parties ne contiennent pas de capteurs. En ce qui concerne les interfaces des ensembles soumis à essai, la méthode d'essai se limite à une inspection visuelle. Les effets associés à la position et aux mouvements du corps ne sont pas traités dans cette méthode d'essai.
Les mesurages du flux de chaleur peuvent également être utilisés pour calculer les brûlures prévisibles résultant de l'exposition (voir ISO 13506‑2).
Cette méthode d'essai ne simule pas d'expositions très intenses, telles que les expositions aux arcs électriques, certains types d'exposition à des feux impliquant des combustibles liquides ou solides, ni d'exposition à des explosions nucléaires.
NOTE 1       La présente méthode d'essai fournit des informations sur le comportement des matériaux et un mesurage de la performance d'un vêtement placé sur un mannequin en position debout et fixe. La taille relative du vêtement et du mannequin ainsi que l'ajustement du vêtement aux formes du mannequin influent de façon importante sur la performance.
NOTE 2       La présente méthode d'essai est complexe et nécessite un haut niveau d'expertise technique aussi bien pour le montage d'essai que pour la mise en ?uvre.
NOTE 3       Tout écart, même mineur, par rapport aux instructions de la présente méthode d'essai peut conduire à des résultats d'essai nettement différents.

Varovalna obleka pred učinki toplote in ognja - 1. del: Preskusna metoda za kompletna oblačila - Merjenje prenesene energije s preskusno lutko, opremljeno z instrumenti (ISO 13506-1:2017)

Ta mednarodni standard določa splošna načela preskusne metode za ocenjevanje uspešnosti kompletnih oblačil ali zaščitnih oblek pri gorenju plinskega oblaka ali drugi kratkotrajni izpostavljenosti ognju. Ta preskusna metoda opredeljuje toplotno zaščito, ki jo zagotavljajo oblačila, na podlagi merjenja prenosa toplote na preskusno lutko v naravni velikosti, ki je izpostavljena laboratorijski simulaciji požara s kontroliranim toplotnim tokom, trajanjem in razpršitvijo plamena.
Podatki o prenosu toplote predstavljajo vsoto seštevkov v predpisanem času, kar poda skupno preneseno energijo. Meritve prenosa toplote je mogoče uporabiti tudi za izračun predvidenih kožnih opeklin zaradi izpostavljenosti. Poleg tega se zabeležijo opažanja glede splošnega vedenja preskusnega vzorca med izpostavljenostjo in po njej.
Ta metoda se uporablja za tri vrste ocen:
a) primerjavo materialov oblačil;
b) primerjavo zasnove oblačil;
c) oceno katerega koli prototipa oblačil za določeno uporabo ali specifikacijo. Vsaka vrsta ocenjevanja ima različne zahteve glede oblačil, ker so preskusni rezultati odvisni od zmogljivosti preskusnega materiala, velikosti oblačila, zasnove oblačila in uporabe sestavnih delov oblačila.
Rezultati veljajo samo za posamezna oblačila, kot so bila preskušena, in za določene pogoje vsakega preskusa, zlasti v povezavi s toplotnim tokom, trajanjem in razpršitvijo plamena. Za namene te preskusne metode je toplotni tok dogodka omejen na nazivno raven 84 kW/m2 in na izpostavljenost, ki traja manj kot 20 sekund.
Ta mednarodni standard se uporablja za merjenje in opisovanje vedenja kompletnih
oblačil pri konvekcijski in sevalni energiji pod nadzorovanimi laboratorijskimi pogoji, pri čemer se rezultati uporabljajo za optimizacijo kombinacij oblačil in njihovih zasnov. Ta preskusna metoda ne simulira visoke izpostavljenosti sevanju, kot na primer pri izpostavljenosti električnim oblokom, nekaterim vrstam požarov, ki vključujejo tekoča ali trdna goriva, ali pri izpostavljenosti jedrskim eksplozijam. Ta mednarodni standard se ne uporablja za primerjavo lastnosti materialov oblačil ali kombinacij materialov, razen če so preskusni vzorci povsem enake velikosti in oblike.
Ker pa lahko medsebojno delovanje lastnosti materiala in oblikovanja oblačil zahtevata posebne zasnove za določen material, mora biti uporabljeni model »dobra« zasnova za vse primerljive materiale.
Poleg tega ta mednarodni standard ni namenjen opisovanju ali ocenjevanju požarne ogroženosti ali požarnega tveganja v dejanskem požaru. Kljub temu je mogoče rezultate tega preskusa uporabiti kot elemente ocene požarnega tveganja, ki upošteva vse dejavnike, ki se nanašajo na oceno nevarnosti posamezne končne uporabe. Dejavniki, ki jih je treba upoštevati pri uporabi te preskusne metode, so navedeni v dodatku A. Medlaboratorijski podatki za preskusno metodo so navedeni v dodatku B.
OPOMBA 1 Ta preskusna metoda zagotavlja informacije o vedenju materiala in meritvah zmogljivosti oblačil na nepremični lutki v pokončnem položaju. Relativna velikost oblačila, lutka ter
prileganje oblačila obliki lutke pomembno vplivajo na zmogljivost. Ta preskusna metoda ne obravnava vplivov položaja in gibanja telesa.
OPOMBA 2 Ta preskusna metoda se ne uporablja za oceno zaščite rok ali stopal.
OPOMBA 3 Ta preskusna metoda je zapletena in zahteva veliko tehničnega strokovnega znanja
glede nastavitve in delovanja preskusa.
OPOMBA 4 Odstopanja od navodil pri tej preskusni metodi lahko privedejo do bistveno drugačnih preskusnih rezultatov. Tehnično znanje o vedenju tkanin, teoretično znanje o prenosu toplote in praktično testiranje je potrebno za oceno, katera odstopanja so pomembna v povezavi z navodili, navedenimi v tej preskusni metodi.

Introduction
The purpose of heat and flame-resistant protective clothing is to shield the wearer from hazards that
can cause skin burn injury. The clothing can be made from one or more materials. The evaluation of
materials for potential use in this type of clothing generally involves two steps. First, the materials
are tested to gauge their ability to limit flame spread. They are then tested to determine the rate of
transferred energy through them when exposed to a particular hazard. A variety of test methods are
used in these two steps. The test method selected depends on the nature of the potential hazards and
the intended end use of the materials. Once suitable materials have been identified, they can be made
into complete garments or ensembles for testing on a manikin-fire exposure system.
Laboratory bench scale transferred energy tests are used to select suitable materials for a protective
clothing ensemble. While these tests can allow ranking of garment or ensemble materials and
components, the tests do not allow a complete assessment of a garment or ensemble made of the
materials.
Bench scale transferred energy test methods use small amounts of material, up to 150 mm × 150 mm in
area, and hold the material initially flat, either in a vertical or horizontal plane. Multiple layers are used
where appropriate (e.g. fire-fighting ensembles). In this case, the layer normally worn on the exterior
is exposed directly to the energy source, while the layer normally worn on the inside is away from the
energy source. With the planar orientation and alignment of materials, shrinkage has little effect on the
outcome of the test, unless the shrinkage is so severe as to cause holes to form in the material during
the exposure to the energy source. Sagging, however, does directly affect the results, as an air gap can
form or grow in size, adding an insulating effect. With the aforementioned test methods, it is possible to
test seams, zippers, pockets, buttons or other closures, metal and plastic clips or other features that can
be included in a complete garment such as heraldry, company logos, etc. However, it is often considered
easier to evaluate these aspects together with the overall design features of a garment or ensemble
that can affect the performance by testing complete garments or ensembles on a manikin. It is for this
purpose that this document was established.
In the test method in this document, a stationary, upright adult-sized manikin is dressed in a complete
garment and exposed to a laboratory simulation of a fire with controlled heat flux, duration and flame
2
distribution. The average incident heat flux to the exterior of the garment is 84 kW/m , a value similar
to those used in ISO 9151, ISO 6942 and ISO 17492. Heat flux sensors fitted to the surface of the manikin
are used to measure the heat flux variation with time and location on the manikin and to determine the
total energy absorbed over the data-gathering period. The data gathering period is selected to ensure
that the total energy transferred has been completed. The information obtained can be used to assist in
evaluating the performance of the garment or protective clothing ensembles under the test conditions.
It can also be used to estimate the extent and nature of skin damage that a person would suffer if
wearing the test garment under similar exposure conditions (see ISO 13506-2).
The manikin is used in a standing position in initially quiescent air. Controlled air motion for simulating
wind effects or body movement is not presently possible. It is possible to move the manikin through a
stationary flame but motion of this nature is not within the scope of this document. Variations in the fit
of the test garment that can occur when sitting or bending are not evaluated.
The fire simulations are dynamic. As such, the exposure is more representative of an actual industrial
accident fire than the exposures used in bench scale tests (see Annex B). The heat flux resulting from
the exposure is neither constant nor uniform over the surface of the manikin/garment. Under these
conditions, the results are expected to have more variability than carefully controlled bench scale
tests. In addition, the garment is not constrained to be a flat surface but is allowed to have a natural
drape on the manikin. The effect these variables have on a garment can be seen in several ways:
ignition and burning of the garment and heraldry, sagging or shrinkage in all directions after flaming,
hole generation, smoke generation and structural failure of seams. Many of these failures rarely appear
in the bench scale testing of the materials because they are a result of garment design variables,
interaction between material properties and design variables, construction techniques and localized
exposure conditions that are more severe.

Fit of the garment on the manikin is important. Thus variations in garment design and how the manikin
is dressed by the operator can influence the test results. A test garment or specimen size is selected
by the laboratory from the size range provided by the manufacturer to fit the laboratory’s manikin.
Experience suggests that testing a garment one size larger than the standard will reduce the total
energy transferred and percentage body burn by about 5 %.
This document is not designed to measure material properties directly, but to evaluate the interaction
of material behaviour and garment design. One can compare relative material behaviour by making
a series of test garments out of different materials using a common pattern. The performance of the
complete garments will not necessarily be ranked in the same order as might be obtained when the
materials are tested using ISO 9151. Correlations between small scale tests and results from single-
[15]
layer garments have been examined .
Most manikins do not have sensors on the hands and feet, but it is possible to assess some aspects of
hand protection depending upon the specific design of the hands. The head, however, does contain heat
flux sensors. The reason for this is that many outer garments include an integral hood, but not gloves or
footwear. Tests for gloves and footwear are covered by other ISO documents for specific end uses.
The protection offered by the test specimens is evaluated through quantitative measurements and
observations. Heat flux sensors fitted to the manikin are used to measure the energy transferred to
the manikin surface during the data-gathering period. This information can be reported directly (this
document) or used to calculate the nature, location and extent of the damage that would occur to human
skin from the exposure (see ISO 13506-2).
References [16] and [17] give details of manikin and sensor construction, data acquisition, computer
software requirements, flame exposure chamber and fuel and delivery system. They also suggest
numerical techniques that can be used to carry out the calculations required.
The ISO/TC 94, SC 13 and SC 14 committees and European Committee for Standardization (CEN
TC 162) specify the method described in this document as an optional part in the fire fighter standards
[11]
ISO 11999-3 and EN 469 , and as an optional part in the industrial heat and flame protective clothing
standard ISO 11612. The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) specifies a test method similar to
[13]
the one described in this document as part of a certification process for garments (see NFPA 2112 ).

This document specifies the overall requirements, equipment and calculation methods to provide
results that can be used for evaluating the performance of complete garments or protective clothing
ensembles exposed to short duration flame engulfment.
This test method establishes a rating system to characterize the thermal protection provided by single-
layer and multi-layer garments made of flame resistant materials. Any material construction such
as coated, quilted or sandwich can be used. The rating is based on the measurement of heat transfer
to a full-size manikin exposed to convective and radiant energy in a laboratory simulation of a fire
with controlled heat flux, duration and flame distribution. The heat transfer data are summed over a
