Textiles and textile products - Textiles containing phase change materials (PCM) - Part 1: Determination of the heat storage and release capacity

Scope

This part of EN 16806 specifies a test method for the determination of the heat storage and heat release capacity and the phase change temperatures of textile fibres, yarns and fabrics (woven and knitted fabrics, nonwovens) containing phase change materials (PCM). The test method can also be applied for pure or micro-encapsulated PCM.
This part of EN 16806 does not apply to the determination of the heat transfer properties of textile fabrics (woven and knitted fabrics, nonwovens) containing phase change materials, for which part 2 of EN 16806 applies.
This part of EN 16806 does not apply to determining the heat transfer between the user and the product for textile products, e.g. garments, mattresses, etc. made with PCM containing materials, for which part 3 of EN 16806 applies.
