What is this ISO 23537-2 - Fabric and material properties for sleeping bags about?
ISO 23537 is an international standard that discusses requirements for sleeping bags. ISO 23537-2 provides the best industry guidance on the fabric and material properties for sleeping bags to ensure their durability and quality.
ISO 23537-2 is the second part of a multi-series that specify the fabric and material properties, as well as provisions for labelling of adult-sized sleeping bags for use in sports and leisure time activities.
Note 1: ISO 23537-2 does not apply to sleeping bags intended for a specific purpose such as military use and extreme climate zone expedition.
Note 2: ISO 23537-2 does not apply to sleeping bags for children or babies.
Note 3: No prediction model exists for the determination of the limiting temperatures based on the thermal resistance of the sleeping bag for children and babies.
Who is ISO 23537-2 - Fabric and material properties for sleeping bags for?
ISO 23537-2 on the fabric and material properties for sleeping bags is relevant to:
- Sleeping bags manufacturers
- Suppliers and testers of sleeping bags
- Camping and adventure services providers
Why should you use ISO 23537-2 - Fabric and material properties for sleeping bags?
The sleeping bag is stuffed unfolded inside the cylinder. Then the cylindrical load is lowered onto the sleeping bag inside the cylinder. ISO 23537-2 considers important aspects to the physical and performance properties of the sleeping bag.
ISO 23537 consists of two parts that allow for separate validation of thermal properties and product and material performance. This separation of parts also allows for continued development of new product combinations as it encourages manufacturers to consider new combinations of materials which for example may not be suitable to test by traditional textile physical tests, but which can still have thermal properties evaluated.
ISO 23537-2 assists you with fabric and material properties for sleeping bags manufacturers to evaluate and build efficient sleeping bags that are durable, and of high quality.
With compliance and obedience to ISO 23537-2, you can enhance the efficacy of sleeping bags and manufacture a standardized product that has global acceptance in the market.
