STANDARDS OF HIGH TEMPERATURE FABRICS

UNE EN 1869 has been created and approved by CEN/TC 70 Technical Committee "Manual equipments to protection against fire" reaching the national standard rank. According to CEN/CENELEC Internal Rule, the following countries are forced to adopt this European Rule: Germany, Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Spain, Finland, France, Greece, Iceland, Italy, Luxemburg, Norway, Netherlands, Portugal, United Kingdom, Sweden and Switzerland.

This regulation especifies the minimun requirements and test methods to extintion clothing, including hoods, aprons, sleeves and spats used for users' protection during the welding operations and affine processes. This type of protection clothes are used to protect a user from small cast metal spashes, small contact periodes with fite, radiant heat produced by the welding arc and minize the chance of an electrical shoc by the accidental contact with electrical conductors with a 100 V d.c. voltage.

Testing rods composition is very importante, because it affects to measures repeatability. Composition must be according ISO 636 standards and lineal density will be (0,5 + 0,2) g/cm.

A minimum of three samples (230 mm x 70 mm) will be tested for each material or set of materials.

Electrodes must be displayed over the opposite surfaces of the testing material. Continual voltage tension must be applied to electrodes and electrical resistance of the testing material is determined.

This standard specifies a method for the preparation, marking and measurement of fabrics, garments and fabric measurements in tests carried out to determine the dimensional variation after a specified treatment (washing, steaming, etc.)

Five samples for the warp and five samples for the weave must be tested for each material. Test: the test piece is fixed on the clamps, with a leg on each of them. The test piece non-cut part is free.

This standard specifies the method to evaluate propagation easyness of the flame in fabrics vertically destined to the confection of curtains (simple or multicomposed fabrics as well as recovered, padded, multilayered, sandwich, etc.)

The 13501 standard is divided into 6 parts based on the materials or building elements to be tested.

This standard describes a test method for determining the limited flame propagation in textile materials and industrial products, in the form of single or multicomponent layers (coated, padded, multilayer, or similar combinations), oriented vertically, when subjected to the action of a small flame.
This regulation specifies a test method to determine the heat transmission through the material or assembly of materials used in protective clothing. Materials will be classified according to their heat transfer indices, indicating relative heat transmission under specific test conditions.
This regulation determines the test method for evaluating materials and material assemblies when exposed to a radiant heat source.
This regulation specifies a method for determining the tensile strength and elongation at break of frayed strips of woven glass fabrics conditioned in a standard test atmosphere.
The EN ISO 12127 test method determines heat transmission by contact through protective clothing or its constituent materials.
This regulation specifies the procedure for determining sample decomposition (test endpoint) through fixed interval inspections and is applicable to all textile fabrics, including non-wovens, except fabrics where the specifier indicates a low abrasion life.
Determination of water penetration resistance. Test under hydrostatic pressure.

This regulation specifies a test method to evaluate the heat penetration resistance of materials intended for use in garments to protect against large splashes of molten metal.

This standard applies, unless otherwise specified, to the classification of fire reaction of construction materials, coatings applied to their supports, and interior finishing materials.

Fire reaction tests of construction materials. Non-combustibility test.

This international standard specifies a method to determine the horizontal combustion rate of materials used in the occupant compartment of road vehicles (e.g., cars, trucks, vans, buses) and agricultural and forestry tractors and machinery after exposure to a small flame.

The sample is placed on a test rack at 30° above a heat-emitting radiator. A reduced butane flame is applied directly to the fabric surface. The following characteristics are recorded: - flame duration; - generation of burning drops; - length/width of the damaged area of the sample.

The objective of this standard is to propose a classification method for rolling stock materials obtained from standardized test results. This classification method sets objectives and simultaneously takes into account both the combustion of materials and the opacity and toxicity of combustion emissions.

Application of force longitudinally to a test specimen of specific length and width at a constant extension rate. Determination of breaking strength and elongation values from the recorded force-elongation curve.
Classifies the fire-resistant reaction of materials and components. The DIN standard is primarily intended for construction materials such as insulation materials, coatings, and pipes. Different combustibility categories are distinguished.
Fire behavior of curtains or draperies. To determine behavior in the face of combustion, the test fabric is vertically mounted and exposed to a flame.
Specifies performance requirements for garments made from flexible materials designed to protect the human body against heat and/or flames.
Domestic washing and drying procedures for textile testing. Specifies performance requirements for garments made from flexible materials designed to protect the human body against heat and/or flames.
Test method used to evaluate textiles/garments that must be industrially laundered, consisting of both washing and drying processes.
Specifies general performance requirements for ergonomics, safety, size designation, aging, compatibility, and labeling of protective clothing, and the information that the manufacturer must provide with the protective clothing.
Specifies material behavior and design requirements for protective clothing to prevent the accumulation of electrostatic charges, used as part of an earthed system to prevent discharges that could lead to fires.
Protective clothing against the thermal hazards of an electric arc. Part 2: Requirements.
Determination of physiological properties. Measurement of thermal resistance and water vapor resistance under steady-state conditions (sweating guarded-hotplate test).

This standard specifies the protection values that garments and fabrics must meet against vertical flame exposure testing.

This standard specifies the protection values that protective clothing for electricians exposed to momentary electric arc and related thermal hazards must meet.

Standard test method for evaluating heat transfer through materials for protective clothing in contact with molten substances.
