BS EN 16806-1:2016

What is BS EN 16806-1 – Textiles containing phase change materials about?  

BS EN 16806-1 is an international standard that focuses on the determination of heat storage and release capacity of textiles containing phase change materials. BS EN 16806-1 specifies a test method for the determination of the heat storage and heat release capacity and the phase change temperatures of textile fibres, yarns and fabrics (woven and knitted fabrics, nonwovens) containing phase change materials (PCM).  

Who is BS EN 16806-1 - Textiles containing phase change materials for? 

BS EN 16806-1 on determination of the heat storage and release capacity is useful for: 

• Quality assurance team  
• Textiles and textile products manufacturers  
• Textiles testing laboratories  

Why should you use BS EN 16806-1 - Textiles containing phase change materials?  

BS EN 16806-1 determines the enthalpy of fusion and crystallization, as well as the phase change temperatures of fibres, yarns and fabrics containing PCM.  

BS EN 16806-1 helps you improve the quality of wollen textiles by measuring the heat storage quality.
