Thermal factors are often important in determining whether a given clothing ensemble is suitable for use under specified conditions. Although final approval of a particular ensemble often involves field trials, the need for such trials can be minimized by measuring the thermal properties of the garment using a heated manikin and then predicting human behavior using a mathematical human thermal model. While many laboratories are capable of measuring the properties of garments using manikins and several mathematical models exist, there have been very few published comparisons of actual human behavior with model predictions. Agreement between predicted and actual behavior was reasonable, although there were significant differences which could be attributed both to deficiencies in the model and to difficulties inherent in conducting field trials of this kind.

The paper presents the testing and evaluation of the fire retardant clothing systems using flame manikin. This equipment is used to predict the burn injuries for personal fire retardant protective equipment. The flame manikin was described as well, as a measuring tool for the development of the heat protective clothing. Introduced was the protective coverall with the protected underwear from the company Odjeća d.o.o.

The most important purpose of this book is to incorporate diverse tools and principles within the development stages of functional products. The book was prepared with the aim of providing researchers from different fields with the basic principles and essential knowledge related to protection under lifethreatening conditions by means of textile and clothing engineering and production technologies. Another purpose of this book is to stress the importance of attaining knowledge from different research areas or work fields. For example, the optimal protective clothing ensemble is an important factor for protection and for survival, both in terms of the time required for a successful outcome. Instead of testing each clothing ensemble on human subjects under various conditions, it is preferable to use a thermal manikin for testing and to carry out the simulations using existing numerical models. On the other hand, researchers are always challenged by the developments of appropriate testing and modelling tools. As a basis, we hope that readers will be encouraged enough to evaluate, develop, and where necessary critique the functional products, no matter whether they were made according to the prescribed standards or not. When considering this, it is obvious that knowledge of this interdisciplinary field will increase, will stay connected, and only such a connection can result in the best functional products.
