BS EN ISO 23537-1:2022 Requirements for sleeping bags - Thermal, mass and dimensional requirements for sleeping bags designed for limit temperatures of -20°C and higher
1 Scope
This document specifies the requirements, test methods and other provisions for the
labelling of adult sized sleeping bags for use in sports and leisure time activities
at a limit temperature ≥ ‐20 °C regarding thermal characteristics, dimensions and mass.
This document describes a method for the assessment of performance in steady‐state
conditions of a sleeping bag with regard to the protection against cold.
NOTE 1 Sleeping bags without homogeneous fillings designed to provide local extra insulation
in certain parts pose issues with the calibration and/or test procedure. Ongoing work
continues to provide suitable means of establishing temperature ratings.
This document does not apply to sleeping bags intended for specific purpose such as
military use and extreme climate zone expedition. It does not apply to sleeping bags
for children or babies.
NOTE 2 No prediction model exists for the determination of the limiting temperatures based
on the thermal resistance of the sleeping bag for children and babies. Moreover, such a model for testing cannot
be developed because the necessary controlled sleep trials with children or babies
in climatic chambers are, out of ethical reasons, not possible.
