New Temperature Rating Standard Is Developed by ASTM Personal Protective Clothing Committee

In the field of personal protective clothing, a temperature rating indicates the lowest acceptable air temperature at which an average person would be comfortable when wearing a certain set of clothing. While manufacturers believe that providing temperature ratings is helpful to consumers when they are comparing garments, there have been different methods of testing for a temperature rating. The need to find common ground in this area has led to a new ASTM International standard, F2732, Practice for Determining the Temperature Ratings for Cold Weather Protective Clothing.
