Launched in the 1940s by the Shirley Institute, the Shirley Togmeter is the standard apparatus for rating thermal resistance of textiles, commonly known as the Tog Test. This apparatus, described in BS 4745:2005 [ 8 ] measures a sample of textile, either between two metal plates (for underclothing) or between a metal plate and free air (for ...
It also developed the tog as an easy-to-follow measure of the thermal resistance of textiles, as an alternative to the SI unit of m 2 K/W. The BCRA merged with the British Rayon Research Association to form the Cotton, Silk, and Man-Made Fibres Research Association in 1961.

Home energy performance rating charts. Energy performance certificates (EPCs) are a rating scheme to summarise the energy efficiency of buildings. [1] [2] The building is given a rating between A (Very efficient) - G (Inefficient). The EPC will also include tips about the most cost-effective ways to improve the home energy rating.
Some hotels may also provide a type F (Schuko) socket as a convenience for European visitors. Isle of Man: G 240 V 415 V 50 Hz Self-governing British crown dependency, but generally uses UK technical standards.

In Europe, the seasonal efficiency of refrigeration equipment, chillers and air conditioners is often rated by the European seasonal energy efficiency ratio (ESEER) which is controlled (among others) by the Eurovent Certification Company. [1] A similar standard in the United States is the integrated energy efficiency ratio (IEER).
UK Postgraduate Grading System. The postgraduate grading system for master's degrees in the UK is similar to the Honours system but differs in some points. [54] The minimum passing grade is 50% instead of 40%. The complete classifications look as follows: Distinction: 70-100%; Merit: 60-69%; Pass: 50-59%; Fail: Less than 50%
The VPAM scale as of 2009 runs from 1 to 14, with 1-5 being soft armor, and 6-14 being hard armor. [1] Tested armor must withstand three hits, spaced 120 mm (4.7 inches) apart, of the designated test threat with no more than 25 mm (0.98 inches) of back-face deformation in order to pass.
