ASTM F1060
Standard Test Method for Thermal Protective Performance of Materials for Protective Clothing for Hot Surface Contact
This test method evaluates the thermal insulation properties of materials used in protective clothing when exposed to hot surfaces, assessing their reaction and thermal protection time under controlled conditions. It applies to limited exposures of up to one minute at temperatures reaching 600°F (316°C), with results dependent on matching test conditions to actual use. The method is primarily for comparing material performance rather than predicting real-world fire hazards, as it only models burn injury risks for short durations.
