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.

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
