BS EN ISO 11092:2026

This standard BS EN ISO 11092:2026 Textiles. Physiological effects. Measurement of thermal and water-vapour resistance under steady-state conditions (sweating guarded-hotplate test) is classified in these ICS categories:

• 59.080.01 Textiles in general

This document specifies methods for the measurement of the thermal resistance and water-vapour resistance , under steady-state conditions, of e.g. fabrics, films, coatings, foams and leather, including multilayer assemblies, for use in clothing, quilts, sleeping bags, upholstery and similar textile or textile-like products. The application of this measurement technique is restricted to a maximum thermal resistance and water-vapour resistance which depend on the dimensions and construction of the apparatus used (e.g. 2 m2·K/W and 700 m2·Pa/W respectively, for the minimum specifications of the equipment referred to in this document). The test conditions used in this document are not intended to represent specific comfort situations, and performance specifications in relation to physiological comfort are not stated.
