PPE thermal protection

Protective clothing is tested as a system of fabrics and as a finished garment. This family covers the fabric-level heat transfer methods and the garment- and component-level fire tests.

Fabric composites are rated by TPP and its radiant, convective and contact-heat relatives; finished garments are judged on the instrumented manikin; masks, helmets and gloves have their own flame tests in the ensemble standards. The two product pages in this family separate the fabric bench instruments from the programme-level equipment.
