Use of Thermal Manikins in International Standards

Holmér, Ingvar LU (2006) The 6th International Thermal Manikins and Modelling Meeting (6I3M) p.19-24
Abstract
The first standards based on thermal manikin measurements were developed in the 1980s. In the Nordic countries tests for thermal insulation measurements of sleeping bags and cold protective clothing were developed. Similar standards were published in Germany by DIN and in the US by ASTM. At a European level, EN 342 describes test methods and requirements for cold protective clothing based on manikin measurements. EN 511 describes a method for determining glove insulation using a thermal hand model. In 2005 ASTM published a standard for determining water vapour resistance with a sweating manikin. ISO 9920 already described in 1992 how clothing insulation could be measured with a thermal manikin. This procedure, however, is more precisely... (More)

Another field of application for thermal manikins is the evaluation of thermal environments. In particular, the automobile industry has shown great interest in using manikins for vehicle climate evaluation. An international standard, ISO/DIS 14505, dealing with this particular application is on the way. (Less)
