21/30392644 DC

This standard 21/30392644 DC BS EN 17667. Test method. Determination of thermal resistance of filled textile articles and similar items using small guarded hotplate apparatus is classified in these ICS categories:

• 97.160 Home textiles. Linen
• 97.190 Equipment for children
• 97.200.30 Camping equipment and camp-sites

This method of test described a means of determining the thermal resistance of textiles articles which may be filled e.g. padded coats and jackets, child sleep bags, cot duvets, etc., or textiles articles with a thermal resistance of up to 0,5 m²K/W (5,0 tog) and/or which do not have uniform thickness.

The test method is suitable for products with a thermal resistance within the range 0,025 m²K/W (0,25 tog) to approximately 0,5 m²K/W (5,0 tog) but is limited only by the ability of the test apparatus to cope with the thickness of the test sample.
