Abstract

Abstract: To have a general overview of the progress in research on performance test and evaluation of protective clothing, fire, explosion,and leakage of dangerous chemicals were selected as typical disaster environmental conditions, a systematic and thorough literature investigation was carried out. From the two aspects of single and complex disaster environments, the status of research on protective clothing performance evaluation was analyzed, and the future trends were predicted. The research results show that for single disaster environments, the fabric performance test methods are currently widely used, while the research on clothing ensemble protective performance test is insufficient,that the protective clothing performance tests in complex disaster environment are carried out under multi independent disaster environmental conditions, while no method has been developed for testing the performance in multi-hazards coupling environments,and that the trends in the research are to optimize the ensemble and comprehensive protective performance test methods and evaluate the protective clothing's performance under complex disaster environment conditions.

Key words: protective clothing, protective performance, fire & explosive & toxic disaster, complex disaster environment, test and evaluation
