Appendix B (Normative) Test Methods of Heating B.1 Principle Place the electric heating garments in a specific heat insulation layer to simulate the heat transfer conditions when the human body wears the garment. By measuring the temperature rise of the electric heating element and the temperature of the garment surface, it is determined whether the product has the risk of burns or fire. B.2 Instruments and tools B.2.1 Filament thermocouples, with a diameter not exceeding 0.3 mm; B.2.2 Thermometer with an accuracy of 0.5 K or less; B.2.3 Copper or brass sheet with a side length of 65 mm and a thickness of 0.5 mm; B.2.4 Steel ruler, the division value is in mm; B.2.5 For benches made of plywood with a thickness of 20 mm, the height of the bench top from the ground shall be at least 300 mm; B.2.6 Thermal insulation material layer that meets the requirements of Appendix AA in GB 4706.8-2008; B.2.7 Sewing thread. B.3 Test conditions It shall be carried out in a place without forced convection air and the ambient temperature is (5±2) ℃, and the humidity shall be kept between 30% RH and 80% RH. Other conditions shall comply with the general test conditions stipulated in Sub-clause 5.1 of this Standard. NOTE 1: When the air velocity is less than 0.4 m/s, it can be considered that there is no forced convection air. B.4 Sampling requirements A complete and undamaged specimen of the electric heating garment shall be used for the test. B.5 Test operation measured object can be coated with insulating varnish. At this time, it shall be noted that the thickness of the coating layer shall not have a significant impact on the measurement. B.5.1.7 For battery-powered electric heating garment specimens, the test continues until the temperature measured on the garment surface continuously drops. B.5.1.8 For direct-powered electric heating garment specimens, the test continues until the fluctuation of the temperature measured on the garment surface within 1 h is within 2 K. B.5.2 Continuous heating time (continuous heating time test under normal working conditions) With the battery described in 5.1.2 as the power source, carry out the test according to the description in B.5.1.2~B.5.1.6. Start timing when the electric heating garment is turned on for heating. At the end of the second hour, measure the voltage of the battery, which shall be no lower than 85% of its nominal rated voltage. B.5.3 Heating (heating test under abnormal heat dissipation conditions) The specimens and the thermal insulation material layer are first placed in the test environment for 24 hours; and then the electric heating element on the specimen is folded into two layers at the most unfavorable position; and the other parts are flattened and placed between the two thermal insulation material layers. The size of the thermal insulation material layer shall extend at least 100 mm beyond the perimeter of the garment. Then place a piece of thermal insulation material with a size of 300mm×450mm×36mm on the folded electric heating element at the most unfavorable position; and place a uniformly distributed ballast with a mass of 5 kg on top of the thermal insulation material layer. NOTE 1: The most unfavorable position refers to the position where danger is most likely to occur, or where danger will cause the most serious injury. For example, a location where folding is most likely to occur, or a location where severe heat buildup will result in high temperatures after folding. NOTE 2: The ballast can be a sandbag. Then conduct the test according to the description in B.5.1.2~B.5.1.8, but it should be noted that when placing the copper sheet according to B.5.1.4, place it according to the size of the folded electric heating element. B.6 Result judgment B.6.1 The temperature rise of the electric heating element during the whole test process shall meet the limit value requirements of this Standard. B.6.2 The temperature of the specimen surface during the first hour of the test and the temperature thereafter shall meet the limit requirements of this Standard. ......
