It is critical that protective gloves used for firefighters are resistant to high temperatures and heat sources to ensure fire safety. In our laboratory, we perform convective heat (transport heat) tests in accordance with TS EN ISO 9151 standard. These tests evaluate how long the gloves can withstand the effect of hot air emitted from the flame and how long the heat will pass through the material. The results of these tests provide extremely important information for the safety of firefighters.
The Importance of Convective Heat Resistant Gloves
Convective heat is one of the most common hazards faced by firefighters during a fire. Gloves are put at high risk not only by direct flame contact, but also by the effect of hot air. TS EN ISO 9151 tests show how resistant gloves are against such hazards. The sufficient resistance of the gloves to convective heat prevents firefighters’ hands from burning, ensuring a safe working environment.
Evaluation of Glove Performance
Testing the resistance of gloves to convective heat not only ensures safety, but also certifies the quality of the product. By assessing how quickly the hot air from the heat source passes over the material and the temperature rise, the tested gloves provide the user with a safe working time. This is a critical way of knowing the performance of the glove in the event of a fire and gives users confidence.
CE Approved and Compliance with International Standards
CE approval is mandatory for products to be legally sold in the European Union. The TS EN ISO 9151 test is a necessary stage for CE certification and proves that the product complies with European standards. This approval shows not only that the product is safe, but also that it meets high standards in terms of fire safety and occupational safety.
Every stage is under control…

Impact of Testing on the Environment and Human Health
Convective heat testing is not only important for user safety, but also for the environment and human health. The materials used for the gloves must not release harmful substances into the environment during a fire. Our laboratory promotes the use of materials that are both safe and environmentally friendly.
Environmentally Friendly Materials and Health
The materials used in fire safety equipment must both protect the health of the user and not harm the environment. The TS EN ISO 9151 test also checks whether the material components of the gloves fulfill these requirements. In this way, safety equipment offers a healthy option not only in case of fire, but also in terms of environmental sustainability.

Test Results and Detailed Reporting
The tests that determine the resistance of your gloves to convective heat are presented in highly detailed reports. The test results clearly demonstrate the safety and fire safety performance of the gloves. These reports are essential to ensure compliance with international standards and prove that your product is safe.
TS EN ISO 9151 is an international standard that tests resistance to convective heat. This test is specifically targeted at users of fire-fighting equipment, i.e. firefighters. Convective heat is the energy carried by flames heating the surrounding air, and protection against such thermal effects is vital for personal safety equipment.
The convective heat resistance test is performed by exposing the protective glove to the hot air emitted from a flame for a certain period of time. The gloves are placed at a certain distance from the heat source at the start of the test. The effect of the heat emitted from the hot air source on the glove material, how long it can withstand and the temperature rise are measured.
