BS EN ISO 23537-2:2016 PDF Download

A standard known as BS EN ISO 23537-2:2016 details the fabric and material requirements for adult-sized sleeping bags used for recreational and sporting activities. It's vital to note that this guideline does not apply to sleeping bags made for children or infants, as well as to sleeping bags used on trips in extreme temperature zones or for military use.

The standard states that, based on the thermal resistance of the sleeping bag, there is no prediction model available to estimate the limiting temperatures for children and babies. Furthermore, it is unethical to conduct controlled sleep studies on infants or children in climate-controlled environments. As a result, this standard only applies to sleeping bags for adults.

The standard strives to ensure that adult sleeping bags adhere to predetermined specifications for the fabric and material qualities and to offer recommendations for labeling. As it serves to ensure the quality and safety of adult sleeping bags used in sports and leisure activities, it is a crucial document for makers, retailers, and consumers involved in the sleeping bag sector.
