本文件规定了在规定的消防员相关条件下，评估模拟活动中防护织物套装和潜在防护服套装的热生理影响的方法。 本文件旨在评估防护织物套装和潜在防护服套装的热生理影响，但不评估实际火灾条件下的热应力风险。本试验方法的结果可作为表征和比较热稳定性的要素- 各种防护织物套装和潜在防护服套装的生理影响。 默认测量是在代表服装或防护服组合的织物样品上进行的。除标准测试方法外，还可以选择使用相同的测试协议来描述防护服套装，包括内衣、空气层和某些设计特征[1]。此外，还可以选择对成衣进行测量。 注:目前使用的评估方法仅针对结构消防服进行验证。 [1] 在Empa（瑞士联邦材料科学与技术实验室，瑞士）进行的一项研究表明，标准躯干测试（不含内衣和织物上的空气层）的结果与含内衣的织物的测试结果具有良好的相关性，对带有内衣和空气层的织物进行试验，并对相同材料成分的成衣（带有内衣和带有或不带有空气层）进行试验。由于系统的隔热性能不同，无法直接比较结果。

This document specifies a method for evaluating the thermo-physiological impact of protective fabric ensembles and potentially protective clothing ensembles in a simulated activity under defined relevant conditions for firefighters. This document is intended to be used to assess the thermo-physiological impact of protective fabric ensembles and potentially protective clothing ensembles but not the risk for heat stress due to actual fire conditions. The results of this test method can be used as elements of characterisation and comparison of thermo-physiological impact of various types of protective fabric ensembles and potentially protective clothing ensembles. Default measurements are undertaken on fabric samples representing the garment or protective clothing combination. Optionally and in addition to the standard test method, the same testing protocol can be applied to characterise protective clothing ensembles including underwear, air layers and certain design features[1]. In addition measurements on readymade garments are optionally possible. NOTE The presently used evaluation methods are only validated for structural firefighting garments. [1] A study conducted at Empa (Swiss Federal Laboratories for Materials Science and Technology, Switzerland) showed good correlation between results of standard torso tests (without both underwear and air layers on fabrics) to tests on fabrics with underwear, tests on fabrics with underwear and air layers and test on readymade garments (with underwear and with or without air layers) of the same material composition. Due to the different thermal insulation of the systems direct comparison of the results is not possible.
