Textiles — Determination of moisturizing effect of textile materials by measurement of microclimate between textiles and simulated human skin using sweating guarded hotplate

Textiles — Détermination de l'effet hydratant des matières textiles par le mesurage du microclimat entre les textiles et la peau humaine simulée à l'aide d'une plaque chaude gardée transpirante

Abstract / scope

This document specifies a test method which simulates the microclimate for determining the moisturizing effect of textile materials by measuring water-vapour resistance including air layer and relative humidity using a sweating guarded-hotplate. This test method can be applied to fabrics, films, coatings and leather including multilayer assemblies, for use in clothing system.
