Introduction
This test method has been developed to provide a simple method of determining the thermal resistance
of filled textile products and similar articles using a small guarded hotplate apparatus. Other methods
such as ISO 5085-1 and EN ISO 11092 may have limitations on the range of their measurement capability
and/or require the use of complex apparatus. The apparatus used in this method is broadly comparable
with that specified in ISO 5085-1 but with a number of differences which are intended to provide a more
reliable test result. It is based on a test method British Standard BS 8510:2009, which has proven
successful in the United Kingdom over a period of more than 10 years.
This test method measures thermal resistance in a similar manner to EN ISO 11092 when using R mode
ct
but is a simplified version of the test method. Limited trials in the development of this test method
indicate that it has a good correlation with other test methods in use including ISO 5085-1 in single plate
mode and EN ISO 11092.
1 Scope
This method of test specifies a test method for determining the thermal resistance of textile articles which
may be filled, e.g. padded coats and jackets, child sleep bags, cot duvets, etc., or textiles articles with a
thermal resistance of up to 0,5 m K/W (5,0 tog) and/or which do not have uniform thickness.
The test method is applicable to products with a thermal resistance within the range 0,025 m K/W (0,25
tog) to approximately 0,5 m K/W (5,0 tog) but is limited only by the ability of the test apparatus to cope
with the thickness of the test sample.

3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply.
ISO and IEC maintain terminological databases for use in standardization at the following addresses:

— ISO Online browsing platform: available at
3.1
textile article
any textile product formed of a single layer of textile or multiple layers of textile material, with or without
a filling material (textile or non-textile) present
3.2
children’s sleep bag
bedding item consisting of a full length fabric bag, which may be lined or filled, with a neck opening and
armholes, designed to contain a child which may be used in conjunction with nightwear
[SOURCE: EN 16781:2018, 3.1]
3.3

bedding item intended to cover the child’s body, consisting of a filling material permanently sewn into a
textile over intended to be used with or without a secondary removable textile cover

3.4
thermal resistance
R
R
ct

unit area normal to the faces
Note 1 to entry: The thermal resistance may also be known as its ‘tog’ value.
[SOURCE: ISO 5085-1:1989, 3.1, modified – Note 1 to entry has been added.]
3.5
tog value

Note 1 to entry: 1 tog = 0,1 m K/W.
3.6
indoor ambient condition
for the purpose of this test method, the standard atmosphere as specified in EN ISO 139
4 Principle
The textile article to be tested is placed on a horizontal heated plate at 306 K (skin surface temperature)
and the opposite face is exposed to an ambient room temperature. The power required to maintain
thermal equilibrium (“steady state”) over a period of not less than 60 min is measured and the thermal
resistance of the item is determined.
5 Apparatus
5.1 General
The apparatus shall be built and operated in accordance with the principles of ISO 8302. See Figure 1.
5.2 Thermal resistance tester
The apparatus for the determination of thermal resistance shall be designed so that it complies with the
following:
a) the apparatus shall be horizontal, with the heat flow upwards and designed so that measurements
are made between the upper hot face and the ambient air above the test sample;
b) the surface of the upper hot face of the apparatus shall be flat, isothermal, metal and have a finish
such that the emissivity is not less than 0,9. The central measuring area shall be not less than 200 mm
by 200 mm but not greater than 350 mm by 350 mm. The guard area or effective guard area around
the central measuring area shall be at least 50 mm wide;
NOTE A matt black finish has been found to be suitable.
c) there shall be a suitable means for measuring the temperature of the upper surface of the hot face
and of the air temperature of the air layer above the test sample to an accuracy of 0,2 K;
d) sets of at least five temperature sensors, each set uniformly distributed over the central measuring
area, shall be used to measure the upper hot face and lower hot face temperatures;
e) a set of at least five shielded temperature sensors uniformly distributed over the central measuring
area shall be used to measure the temperature of the air layer above the test sample. These shall be
located directly above the corresponding sensors in the central measuring area; (see Annex A for
more information);
f) the upper hot face temperature and the temperature of the air layer above the test sample shall be
capable of being controlled to ± 2,0 K;
g) the apparatus shall be located within a test environment maintained in accordance with the standard
temperate atmosphere as specified in EN ISO 139. The apparatus shall be screened from external
sources of heat (e.g. effects of lighting, other apparatus, etc.), and from draughts (e.g. caused by
movement of personnel or opening of nearby doors, etc.);
h) the apparatus shall be equipped with suitable instrumentation for the recording of the individual
temperatures of the upper hot face, lower hot face and air layer above the test sample and energy
required. The instrumentation shall be able to record at least 3 readings per minute;
i) the thermal resistance of the test sample plus the air layer (R ) is determined from the energy
t
dissipated in the central heater, the area of the central heater and the temperature difference T . The
temperature difference T is maintained at zero.
