This document applies to garments and assembly of garments providing protection against heat and flame, with integrated smart textiles and non-textile elements for enhanced health, safety and survival capabilities.
This document does not concern validating claims that the integrated smart textile and non-textile elements substitute directly any protection provided by the garment from a heat and flame perspective.
The integrated smart textiles and non-textile elements could include not only the parts integrated into the protective garment but also connections to transmit the data generated or exchange data with external devices. It is not within the scope of this document to evaluate either the data storage or transmission (including connectivity) to the external devices, nor the external devices. This document evaluates only the smart textiles and non-textile elements integrated into the garment.
This document supplements the requirements of EN ISO 11612 and EN ISO 13688 and does not replace any of the requirements cited in those documents.
This document sets additional testing and performance requirements linked specifically to the garments and assembly of garments providing protection against heat and flame, with integrated smart textiles and non-textile elements for enhanced health, safety and survival capabilities. These additional requirements will depend on the functionality of the smart textile or non-textile element and its needed efficacy during heat and flame hazards and risks from an electrical/electronic safety perspective in these situations.

This method is applicable to the determination of microplastics (from textile sector) collected in different matrices, (e.g. textile process wastewater, clothes washing water, textile process air emissions, textile process solid waste, etc.).
The method allows obtaining a qualitative-quantitative analytical determination of the microplastics able to define the:
— number,
— morphology (morphological characteristics)
— dimensional distribution,
— the type, chemical origin or nature of polymers and their color, if present.
The method is also able to express the results in terms of estimated surface area and weight of MP per unit sample.
The method allows to express uniquely the results of the quantifications of MP, and therefore with a unit of measurement not depending by the origin of the sample investigated (raw material, manufacturing process, environmental sample (wastewater, e.g. from washing clothes, air, industrial process water, etc.)
The method allows the determination on textile sector samples of matrices of different physical states (solid, liquid or aeriform) for example:
— solid samples from textile production processes
— water samples from the textile production process and/or from the washing of clothing
— air samples for testing the air quality in the workplace of textile companies.
The method, being able to provide information such as size, shape, surface and weight (estimated), will allow to transfer information useful for ecotoxicological assessments to specialists.
Alternatively to a complete definition of the above parameters, is possible to determine, more simply, only the weight of each polymer present in the sample using the thermo-analytical methods reported on Annex D.

This document specifies a test method (using liquid chromatography, LC) for detection and quantification of selected extractable perfluorinated and polyfluorinated substances in textile materials (fibres, yarns, fabrics) and coated fabrics.
NOTE CEN/TR 16741 defines which materials are applicable to this determination.
A test method (using gas chromatography, GC) for detection and quantification of selected extractable perfluorinated and polyfluorinated substances is specified in prEN 17681-2.
Classes of regulated compounds are listed in Table 2. Classes of other non-regulated compounds that can be determined by this document are defined in Annex C, Table C.1. This document is also applicable for further PFAS substances provided that the method is validated with the additional compounds.

1.1 This document specifies a procedure for determining the lowest temperature at which rubber-or plastics-coated fabrics will not exhibit fractures or coating cracks when subjected to specific impact conditions.
1.2 Rubber-or plastics-coated fabrics are used in many applications involving low-temperature flexing with or without impact. Data obtained by this method may be used to predict the behaviour of these coated fabrics at low temperatures only in the applications in which the conditions of deformation are similar to those specified in the method.
