UNE-EN 16806-1:2016

This European Standard describes 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 European Standard 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 this standard applies.This European Standard 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 this standard applies.
