Protective clothing against rain - Test method for ready made garments - Impact from above with high energy droplets
This European Standard specifies a test method for determining the rain tightness of clothing for protection against rain, using a static manikin exposed to artificial rain. It is applicable to the testing of jackets, trousers, coats and one or two piece suits.
This standard is not applicable to the testing of garments for resistance to other weather conditions, e.g. snow,
hail-, or strong winds.
Schutzkleidung gegen Regen - Prüfverfahren für fertige Bekleidungsteile - Beaufschlagung von oben mit Tropfen von hoher Energie
Diese Europäische Norm legt ein Verfahren fest zur Prüfung der Dichtheit von Regenschutzkleidung unter Verwendung einer statischen Prüfpuppe, die künstlichem Regen ausgesetzt wird. Sie gilt für die Prüfung von Jacken, Hosen, Mänteln sowie ein- oder zweiteiligen Anzügen.
Diese Norm gilt nicht für die Prüfung der Wetterbeständigkeit von Kleidungsstücken unter besonderen Wetterbedingungen, z. B. Schnee, Eisregen, starker Wind.
Vetements de protection contre les intempéries - Méthode d'essai pour les vetements pret a porter - Impact de fortes précipitations
La présente Norme européenne spécifie une méthode d'essai utilisant un mannequin statique exposé a une pluie artificielle pour déterminer l'étanchéité a la pluie d'un vetement de protection. Elle s'applique pour l'essai de vestes, pantalons, manteaux et de combinaisons une ou deux pieces.
Les essais réalisés dans d'autres conditions météorologiques comme par exemple, sous la neige, la grele ou par vent fort, ne sont pas traités dans la présente norme.

1 Scope This European Standard specifies a test method for determining the rain tightness of clothing for protection against rain, using a static manikin exposed to artificial rain. It is applicable to the testing of jackets, trousers, coats and one or two piece suits. This standard is not applicable to the testing of garments for resistance to other weather conditions, e.g. snow,
hail-, or strong winds. 2 Normative references Not applicable. 3 Terms and definitions For the purposes of this European Standard, the following term and definition apply. garment individual component of a clothing ensemble, the wearing of which provides protection to the part of the body that it covers 4 Principle A manikin with the shape and size of an adult person wearing long underwear made of absorbent fabric is dressed in the garments to be tested and exposed to artificial rain for a specific period. After the exposure the underwear and the inner side of the garment are visually inspected for wet areas. In addition, sensors on the manikin may be used in order to detect the timing of water ingress at individual sites.

EN 14360:2004 (E) 6 5 Test device 5.1 Rain tower, (as shown in Figure 1) comprising a circular tub at least 1 000 mm in diameter supported at least 5 000 mm above the floor, and supplied with water from an inflow pipe. The base of the tub shall be fitted with approximately 682 nozzles with a hole diameter of 0,6 mm placed at 34 mm centres to deliver water droplets over a circular area with a diameter of 932 mm at a density of approximately 1 000 droplets /m2. The tub shall have an overflow pipe placed so as to maintain a water depth of (45 ± 5) mm in the tub. NOTE 1 The diameter of the water droplets correspond to those described in EN 29865 (app. 5 mm). The amount of water is (450 ± 50) l/(m²h) (see Figure 1).
NOTE 2 To prevent water from the atmosphere condensing inside the garment the water temperature should be the same as the air temperature in the room in which the test is conducted within ± 5 °C. NOTE 3 To prevent a blockage of the nozzles, water with low calcium content should be used. 5.2 Thermometers, one in the room in which the test is to be carried out to measure the air temperature and one immersed in the tub to measure the temperature of the water. 5.3 Manikin, with the shape of an adult person, (1 820 ± 40) mm tall and with a chest girth of (1 000 ± 60) mm, comprising a head, torso, abdomen, buttocks, arms, hands, straight legs and feet. The arms shall be moveable to make putting on the garment easier. NOTE It is possible to use alternative manikin sizes (children or female) with the appropriate garment size. 5.4 Underwear to fit manikin, comprising a undershirt with long sleeves and underpants with long legs. For testing of jackets with a hood, the undershirt shall have a hood. The underwear shall be made of water absorbent fabric (e.g. washed cotton). When the underwear is tested in accordance with Annex B, the mean time for the drops to be wicked into the fabric shall be not greater than 2 s. 5.5 Optionally humidity sensors, connected to a recording system. The humidity sensors shall be placed either on the manikin at convex places or on the underwear. Figure 2 shows a possible position of the sensors. The most critical locations are: shoulders, chest, wrist, back, abdomen (zipper) and shoulder blade.

Jacket testing in combination with any appropriate water tight trousers. b)
Trousers testing in combination with any appropriate water tight jacket. The manikin shall be dressed with the underwear (5.4) and the garments of a size adequate to the manikin. Any zippers, fastening elements and pockets shall be closed. The draw-cord at the hem of the jacket, if fitted, shall be pulled tight. If the jacket has a hood this shall be put on the manikin’s head in the normal wearing position, with any draw-cord pulled tight. If the jacket does not have a hood, the head of the manikin shall be covered with a plastic bag in order to prevent water wicking through the collar i
