![<p><strong>Knit Fabrics<br /></strong></p>
<p>Knits are either active or circular knits, with or without nap or pile. Knit is worn in all layers of the clothing systems, for example, as fleece or softshells. Knit products can be produced from all types of materials, whether natural fibres, mix qualities, or synthetic fibres.</p> Knit Fabrics](/files/performancedays/content/performance-codes/icon_knitted.png)
![<p><strong>Woven Fabrics<br /></strong></p>
<p>Bonded and laminated materials for jackets and pants that combine the features of the second and third layers of functional clothing systems. It is claimed to be used in 80% of all activities. Softshells may be made of woven or knit fabrics, however, the seams may not be taped. Softshells usually have elastic properties.</p> Woven Fabrics](/files/performancedays/content/performance-codes/icon_woven.png)
![<p><strong>Fibres · Yarns · Insulation</strong></p>
<p>Fillers for clothing that allows climate management, i.e., warming or cooling properties. “Insulation + Fibres” indicates synthetic fibres, natural fibers, and blended fibers.</p> Fibres · Yarns · Insulation](/files/performancedays/content/performance-codes/icon_Insulation_·_Fibres.png)
![<p><strong>Anti-Odor</strong></p>
<p>Fabrics, which are able to prevent the growth of odor causing bacteria through the use of biocidal agents due to their fiber qualities or special treatments. Application areas are in the base and midlayer.</p> Anti-Odor](/files/performancedays/content/performance-codes/icon_odor_management.png)
![<p><strong>Thermo-Regulation</strong></p>
<p>Fabrics that regulate (cool or warm) the body temperature of the wearer, for example by fiber type, fiber cross section, etc. Can also be achieved by fabric construction or finishes/ treatments.</p> Thermo-Regulation](/files/performancedays/content/performance-codes/icon_Thermo-Regulation.png)
![<p><strong>Waterproof & Breathable</strong></p>
<p>Fabrics and agents for the production of waterproof clothing. The term waterproof implies coated or laminated materials, which can achieve the minimum water column requirements (in mm). Whether a fabric is classified as waterproof depends on the relevant standard. In Europe, the standard is EN-ISO-811, which specifies a minimum value of 1500 mm. The Japanese JIS method demands the attainment of a minimum value of 3000 mm. The height of the water column is application dependent, so higher values are sometimes necessary.</p>
<p>A functional fabric should provide good breathability. This is expressed by the MVTR. The value is given in g/m²/24h – the higher the value, the better the breathability.</p> Waterproof & Breathable](/files/performancedays/content/performance-codes/icon_waterproof_breathable.png)
![<p><strong>WINDPROOF</strong></p>
<p>Fabrics that have a very high wind resistance. This is measured in air volume over time (CCS).</p> Windproof](/files/performancedays/content/performance-codes/icon_windproof_breathable.png)
![<p><strong>Safety, Health & Durability</strong></p>
<p>Safety clothing for hazardous activities or for professions where special protection is required. Depending on the application area, it must comply with the Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) categories or show compliance with multiple standards. Also to be used for mountaineering and other application areas with extremely high standards.</p> Safety, Health & Durability](/files/performancedays/content/performance-codes/icon_WORKWEAR_&_HEAVY_DUTY.png)
![<p><strong>Flame Retardant<br /></strong></p>
<p>Heat and flame protection: Flame retardant fabrics for clothing or accessories for use in work clothes and protective garments, for example, road and building construction, or blast furnaces, or firefighting. This feature can be found in fabrics for the base, mid, or outer layer. Based on area of application, the materials are expected to meet one or more of the following standards:</p>
<ul>
<li>EN ISO 11612 – Protective clothing – for protection against heat and flames</li>
<li>EN ISO 11611 – Protective clothing ­ for welding and related processes</li>
<li>EN 61482-1-2 – Protective clothing ­ for protection against the thermal hazards of an arc welder (Class 1 electric arcs).</li>
</ul>

![<p><strong>Heating</strong></p>
<p>Fabrics that warm the body temperature of the wearer, for example by fiber type, fiber cross section, etc. Can also be achieved by fabric construction or finishes/ treatments.</p> Heating](/files/performancedays/content/performance-codes/icon_Heating.png)
![<p><strong>Cooling</strong></p>
<p>Fabrics that cool the body temperature of the wearer, for example by fiber type, fiber cross section, etc. Can also be achieved by fabric construction or finishes/ treatments.</p> Cooling](/files/performancedays/content/performance-codes/icon_Cooling.png)
![<p><strong>Biodegradable</strong></p>
<p><span>Materials which degrade to carbon dioxide, biomass, hydrogen/water, oxygen and methane with microorganisms over a certain period of time, depending on the surroundings. They can be from natural ressources or man-made.</span></p> Biodegradable](/files/performancedays/content/performance-codes/icon_Biodegradable.png)
![<p><strong>CO2 reduced<br /></strong></p>
<p><span>A code dedicated to materials that have reduced CO2 emissions during production.</span></p> CO2 Reduced](/files/performancedays/content/performance-codes/icon_CO2_reduced.png)
![<p><strong>Natural Fibers</strong></p>
<p>Materials, fabrics, fibers, and yarns that consist 100% out of natural materials like wool, cotton, hemp, coconut, linen, bamboo, sisal, kapok.</p> Natural Fibers](/files/performancedays/content/performance-codes/icon_Natural_Fibers.png)
![<p><strong>Circular product</strong></p>
<p>The life-cycle of a product starts with its concept or design, and is followed by production, sales, use (with or without maintenance to make it more durable / longer in use)... Somewhere along the life cycle of the products, it loses its value for the user and ends up as waste (on an official disposal site or in nature). If the product remains unused, it is called a ‘lose end’ whereas the end can also be a new beginning if the loop is closed. To compost, biodegrade and recycle a material, there are different ways to keep it in use and thereby extend the life-cycle/loop. </p>
<p>In addition to the close loop principle, "Cradle-to-Cradle" is a specific term used to describe clothing in a cycle. Instead of afterwards considering the options of how the material can be recycled at the end of its use, the best composition of the material is considered in advance in order to return it to the closed loop. The materials are thus spared of any unnecessary recycling processes.</p> Circular product](/files/performancedays/content/performance-codes/icon_Circular_product.png)
