This European Standard specifies two for determining the behaviour of materials for hea complementary methods (method A and method E protective clothing subjected to heat radiation.
These tests are carried out on representative sing or multilayer textiles or other materials intended for clothing for protection against heat. They are also applicable to assemblies, which correspond t
the overall build up of a heat protective clothing assembly with or without underclothing.
Method A serves for visual assessment of any changes in the material after the action of heat radiation. With method B the protective effect a the materials is determined. The materials may E
tested either by both methods or only by one of them.
The tests according to these two methods serve to classify materials; however, to be able to make a
statement or prediction as to the suitability of a material for protective clothing additional criteria must be taken into account.
Since the tests are carried out at room temperature the results do not necessarily correspond to the
behaviour of the materials at higher ambient temperatures and therefore are only to a limited extent suitable for predicting the performance of the protective clothing made from the materials under test.
