The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO technical committees. Each member body
21、 interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotec
22、hnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization. International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2. The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards adopted by
23、the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote. Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent righ

ISO 11079 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 159, Ergonomics, Subcommittee SC 5, Ergonomics of the physical environment.

By proper adjustment of clothing, human beings can often control and regulate body heat loss, to balance
26、 a change in the ambient climate. The method presented here is based therefore on the evaluation of the clothing insulation required to maintain the thermal balance of the body in equilibrium. The heat balance equation used takes into account the most recent scientific findings concerning heat excha

28、strategies for assessing the thermal stress associated with exposure to cold environments. These methods apply to continuous, intermittent as well as occasional exposure and type of work, indoors and outdoors. They are not applicable to specific effects associated with certain meteorological phenome

43、hods for evaluation Cold stress is evaluated in terms of both general cooling of the body and local cooling of particular parts of the body (e.g. extremities and face). The following types of cold stress are identified. a) General cooling For general cooling, an analytical method is presented in Cla
44、use 5 for the evaluation and interpretation of the thermal stress. It is based on a calculation of the body heat exchange, the required clothing insulation (IREQ) for the maintenance of thermal equilibrium and the insulation provided by clothing ensemble in use or anticipated to be used. b) Local co
45、oling 1) convective cooling (wind chill) 2) conductive cooling 3) extremity cooling 4) airway cooling For local cooling, methods are proposed in Clause 6. Criteria and limit values are also given in Clause 6 and Annex B. In the following sections, the main steps of evaluation are described. 5 Genera
46、l cooling 5.1 Overview A general equation for body heat balance is defined. In this equation clothing thermal properties, body heat production and physical characteristics of the environment are the determinant factors. The equation is solved for the required clothing insulation (IREQ) for maintaine
47、d heat balance under specified criteria of physiological strain. IREQ is subsequently compared with the protection (insulation) offered by the workers clothing. If worn insulation is less than required, a duration limited exposure (Dlim) is calculated on the basis of acceptable levels of body coolin
48、g. Detailed formulas, coefficients and criteria are proposed in Annexes A and B. The method involves the following steps, outlined schematically in Figure 1: measurements of the thermal parameters of the environment; determination of activity level (metabolic rate); calculation of IREQ; comparison o
49、f IREQ with resultant insulation provided by clothing in use; evaluation of the conditions for thermal balance and calculation of the recommended maximal exposure time (Dlim).
