scope:

This part of EN 16806 specifies a test method for thedetermination of the heat storage and heat release capacity and thephase change temperatures of textile fibres, yarns and fabrics(woven and knitted fabrics, nonwovens) containing phase changematerials (PCM). The test method can also be applied for pure ormicro-encapsulated PCM. This part of EN 16806 does not apply to thedetermination of the heat transfer properties of textile fabrics(woven and knitted fabrics, nonwovens) containing phase changematerials, for which part 2 of EN 16806 applies. This part of EN16806 does not apply to determining the heat transfer between theuser and the product for textile products, e.g. garments,mattresses, etc. made with PCM containing materials, for which part3 of EN 16806 applies.
