Scope

This document specifies a test method for determining the resistance to water leakage and penetration of water resistant clothing in an artificial rainfall using a manikin capable of marching motion. It becomes effective for determining the waterproof characteristic in practical use in a rainfall environment with the wearer moving. In addition to personal protective equipment and outdoor clothing, which require extreme conditions, it can also be applied to testing common waterproof or water-repellent products such as jackets, trousers, coats, and one- or two-piece suits.

This document is for testing methods using manikin with normal adult male size, excluding other sizes (female, children).
