Abstract

This Uganda Standard provides a test method for evaluating the physiological impact of protective fabric ensembles and potentially protective clothing ensembles in a series of simulated activities (phases) under defined ambient conditions. This standard test method characterizes the essential properties of fabric assemblies of a representative garment or clothing ensemble for thermo-physiological assessment: dry thermal insulation; cooling properties during average metabolic activity and moisture management (dry and wet heat transfer); and drying behaviour.
