EN342 is the European standard that applies to garments worn in cold environments. This standard specifies requirements and test methods for the performance of clothing ensembles (i.e two-piece suits/coveralls) for protection against the effects of cold environments equal to or below -5°C.
There are three main parameters:
(Example to the left refers to the Portwest Hi-Vis Bomber Jacket (S463) test results)
The manikin test measures the amount of energy required to maintain warmth. This result is expressed in square metres Kelvin per Watt (m2K/W) this result can be used to estimate the maximum wear time based on the activity level of the wearer, the temperature of the environment and insulation value of the garment.
For example (see chart to the left):
A person wearing the Portwest Hi-Vis Bomber Jacket (S463) performing light activity can withstand -2°C for 8hrs and -18°C for 1hr. A person performing Medium activity can withstand -18°C for 8hrs and -36°C for 1hr.
