The contents of the following documents constitute essential provisions of this document through normative references in the text. Among them, for dated reference documents, only the version corresponding to the date applies to this document; for undated reference documents, the latest version (including all amendments) applies to this document. GB/T 2912.1 Textiles - Determination of formaldehyde - Part 1.Free and hydrolyzed formaldehyde (water extraction method) GB/T 3291.1 Textiles - Terms of textile material properties and test - Part 1.Fiber and yarn GB/T 3291.2 Textiles - Terms of textiles material properties and test - Part 2.Fibric GB/T 3291.3 Textiles - Terms of textile material properties and test - Part 3.General GB/T 3916-2013 Textiles - Yarns from packages - Determination of single-end breaking force and elongation at break using constant rate of extension (CRE) tester GB/T 3917.3 Textiles - Tear properties of fabrics - Part 3.Determination of tear force of trapezoid-shaped test specimens GB/T 3920 Textiles - Tests for color fastness - Color fastness to rubbing

3 Terms and definitions

The terms and definitions as defined in GB/T 12903, GB/T 3291.1 ~ 3291.3, GB 8965.1-2020, as well as the following terms and definitions, apply to this document. 3.1 Electric arc The instantaneous sparks and energy produced by the passage of electric current through some insulating medium (such as air). Note. Arc is a gas discharge phenomenon. 3.2 Arc hazard The injury to personnel or damage to equipment, which is caused by the huge energy released by the arc flash. 3.3 Arc flash protective clothing Protective clothing used to protect the torso and limbs of persons who may be exposed to arc or related thermal hazards. 3.4 Arc hazard energy The superposition, which is obtained by multiplying the instantaneous arc voltage value by the instantaneous arc current value, then by the incremental time of arc release. 3.5 Stoll curves A standard curve, which is used to predict the relationship between time to achieve second-degree burns and thermal energy. Note. Energy values falling above the Stoll curve are likely to cause second-degree burns, whilst energy values falling below the Stoll curve are less likely to cause second-degree burns.
