EN 11092 Textiles, Physiological Effects, Measurement of Thermal and Water Vapor Resistance Under Steady State Conditions

EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, provides precise and fast testing services within the scope of EN 11092 testing. The EN 11092 standard describes thermal resistance and water vapor resistance in steady state conditions such as fabrics, films, coatings, foams and leather, for use in clothing, quilts, sleeping bags, upholstery and similar textile or textile-like products. Specifies methods for measuring.

The application of this measurement technique is limited to maximum thermal resistance and water vapor resistance, depending on the dimensions and construction of the apparatus used.

The test conditions used in this International standard are not designed to represent specific comfort states, and performance characteristics related to physiological comfort are not specified.

Comparison tests were performed on four standard military uniform materials. Adherence to EN 11092 resulted in good agreement between the thermal resistance values ​​measured between the three laboratories and the water vapor resistance for the four materials. Factors affecting the accuracy of the test method are also discussed.
