1、 CAN/CGSB-4.2 No. 78.1-2001 Reaffirmed November 2013 National Standard of Canada ICS 59.080.01 Textile test methods Thermal protective performance of materials for clothing The CANADIAN GENERAL STANDARDS BOARD (CGSB), under whose auspices this standard has been developed, is a government agency with
2、in Public Works and Government Services Canada. CGSB is engaged in the production of voluntary standards in a wide range of subject areas through the media of standards committees and the consensus process. The standards committees are composed of representatives of relevant interests including prod
3、ucers, consumers and other users, retailers, governments, educational institutions, technical, professional and trade societies, and research and testing organizations. Any given standard is developed on the consensus of views expressed by such representatives. CGSB has been accredited by the Standa
4、rds Council of Canada as a national standards-development organization. The standards that it develops and offers as National Standards of Canada conform to the criteria and procedures established for this purpose by the Standards Council of Canada. In addition to standards it publishes as National
5、Standards of Canada, CGSB produces standards to meet particular needs, in response to requests from a variety of sources in both the public and private sectors. Both CGSB standards and CGSB national standards are developed in conformance with the policies described in the CGSB Policy and Procedures
6、Manual for the Development and Maintenance of Standards. CGSB standards are subject to review and revision to ensure that they keep abreast of technological progress. CGSB will initiate the review of this standard within five years of the date of publication. Suggestions for their improvement, which
7、 are always welcome, should be brought to the notice of the standards committees concerned. Changes to standards are issued either as separate amendment sheets or in new editions of standards. An up-to-date listing of CGSB standards, including details on latest issues and amendments, and ordering in
8、structions, is found in the CGSB Catalogue at our Web site www.tpsgc-pwgsc.gc.ca/ ongc-cgsb along with more information about CGSB products and services. Although the intended primary application of this standard is stated in its Scope, it is important to note that it remains the responsibility of t
9、he users of the standard to judge its suitability for their particular purpose. The testing and evaluation of a product against this standard may require the use of materials and/or equipment that could be hazardous. This document does not purport to address all the safety aspects associated with it
10、s use. Anyone using this standard has the responsibility to consult the appropriate authorities and to establish appropriate health and safety practices in conjunction with any applicable regulatory requirements prior to its use. CGSB neither assumes nor accepts any responsibility for any injury or
11、damage that may occur during or as the result of tests, wherever performed. Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this Canadian standard may be the subject of patent rights. CGSB shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. Users of this s
12、tandard are expressly advised that determination of the validity of any such patent rights is entirely their own responsibility.

13、he Standards Council of Canada (SCC) is the coordinating body of the Canadian standardization network, which is composed of people and organizations involved in the development, promotion and implementation of standards. Through the collaborative efforts of Canadian standardization network members,
14、standardization is helping to advance the social and economic well-being of Canada and to safeguard the health and safety of Canadians. The networks efforts are overseen by SCC. The principal objectives of SCC are to foster and promote voluntary standardization as a means of advancing the national e
15、conomy, supporting sustainable development, benefiting the health, safety and welfare of workers and the public, assisting and protecting the consumer, facilitating domestic and international trade, and furthering international cooperation in relation to standardization. An important facet of the Ca
16、nadian standards development system is the use of the following principles: consensus; equal access and effective participation by concerned interests; respect for diverse interests and identification of those who should be afforded access to provide the needed balance of interests; mechanism for di
17、spute resolution; openness and transparency; open access by interested parties to the procedures guiding the standards development process; clarity with respect to the processes; and Canadian interest consideration as the initial basis for the development of standards. A National Standard of Canada
18、(NSC) is a standard prepared or reviewed by an SCC-accredited SDO and approved by the SCC according to NSC approval requirements. Approval does not refer to the technical content of the standard, as this remains the responsibility of the SDO. An NSC reflects a consensus of a number of capable indivi
19、duals whose collective interests provide, to the greatest practicable extent, a balance of representation of general interests, producers, regulators, users (including consumers) and others with relevant interests, as may be appropriate to the subject at hand. NSCs are intended to make a significant
20、 and timely contribution to the Canadian interest. Those who have a need to apply standards are encouraged to use NSCs. These standards are subject to periodic review. Users of NSCs are cautioned to obtain the latest edition from the SDO that publishes the standard. The responsibility for approving
21、standards as NSCs rests with: Standards Council of Canada 270 Albert Street, Suite 200 Ottawa, Ontario K1P 6N7, CANADA How to order Publications: by telephone 819-956-0425 or 1-800-665-2472 by fax 819-956-5740 by mail CGSB Sales Centre Gatineau, Canada K1A 1G6 in person Place du Portage Phase III, 6

PURPOSE AND SCOPE1.1 This method rates textile materials for thermal resistance and insulation when exposed to a convective energy levelof 83 2 kW/m2for a short duration.1.2 It is applicable t
32、o woven fabrics, knit fabrics, battings, and nonwoven fabrics intended for use as clothing forprotection against a chance, short exposure to open flames. It is not intended for evaluating materials exposed toother thermal exposure such as radiant energy or molten metal splash.1.3 Procedures are prov
33、ided for testing single layer or multiple layer specimens, either in contact with the sensor or withan air space between specimen and sensor.1.4 This method is not applicable to textile materials that undergo complete flaming combustion when tested verticallyfor flame resistance.1.5 The testing and
34、evaluation of a product against this method may require the use of materials and/or equipment thatcould be hazardous. This document does not purport to address all the safety aspects associated with its use. Anyoneusing this method has the responsibility to consult the appropriate authorities and to
35、 establish appropriate health andsafety practices in conjunction with any applicable regulatory requirements prior to its use.2. PRINCIPLE2.1 This method exposes a material to heat from a standard flame, measures the heat transferred and determines theexposure energy that would be expected to cause
36、a second-degree or partial thickness burn on human tissue incontact with, or close to, the opposite face.2.2 The heat flux of the exposure and that transferred through the test specimen are both measured with a coppercalorimeter. The rate at which the calorimeter temperature increases is proportiona
37、l to the heat energy received.2.3 Material performance is determined from the amount of heat transferred through the specimen. Effects of the flameexposure on the specimen are also observed.3.
