What is ISO 9151- Determination of heat transmission on exposure to flame for protective clothing about?

ISO 9151 is an international standard on protective clothing against heat and flame that discusses the determination of heat transmission on exposure to flame for protective clothing to ensure protection against health and flame at the workplace. ISO 9151 specifies a method for determining the heat transmission through materials or material assemblies used in protective clothing. Under ISO 9151 the materials may then be ranked by comparing heat transfer indices, which indicate the relative heat transmission under the specified test conditions. The heat transfer index should not be taken as a measure of the protection time given by the tested mat...
