The Chinese Evaluation System for Textile Thermal Protection

Following are the relevant standards for thermal protection in China.

 

1. GA10-2002 “protective clothing for firefighters” stipulates the whole clothing thermal protection TPP rate that must be higher than 1.172×103 kW •s/m2

 

2. GB8965.1-2009 “flame retardant protective clothing”, the thermal protection has adopted TPP test method, grade A required that the TPP rate of  fabric direct contact to skin is more than 126 kW •s/m2, if without direct contact to skin, the fabric TPP rate is more than 250 kW •s/m2.

 

3. GB/T 17599-1998 “Protective clothing  Thermal protective performance   Determination of impact property of molten metal drops”, this standard specifies the requirement of the molten metal, according to the standard test method, when the fabric temperature rise to 40K, the molten drop quantity is more than 15.
