ISO 9151 Heat and Flame Protective Clothing - Determination of Heat Conduction when Exposure to Flame

EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, provides precise and fast testing services within the scope of ISO 9151 testing. This standard specifies a method for determining heat conduction through materials or material assemblies used in protective clothing.

The materials can then be ranked by comparing their heat transfer indices, which provide an indication of the relative heat conduction under specified test conditions. The heat transfer index should not be taken as a measure of the duration of protection given by materials tested under actual conditions of use.

Heat conduction through clothing is largely determined by its thickness, including the air spaces trapped between adjacent layers. Air gaps can vary considerably in different areas of the same clothing group. This allows materials to be rated when tested under standard test conditions without a standard air gap.

EUROLAB assists manufacturers with ISO 9151 test compliance. Our test experts, with their professional working mission and principles, provide you, our manufacturers and suppliers, the best service and controlled testing process in our laboratories.
