28、ructural) firefighting may have a serious physiological impact1),2)on the wearer and a serious effect on the acute physical condition of the wearer during activities with increased metabolic heat production34. Protective clothing impedes heat exchange by sweat evaporation and therefore maintenance o
29、f a constant core body temperature and thermal homeostasis is disturbed. This could increase the risk of heat strain and subsequently impact on the length and time that the firefighter is able to work safely. If this is identified in a risk assessment, it is important that (thermal) physiological pa
30、rameters are obtained to ensure the suitability of the protective clothing chosen under the expected conditions of use. The assessment of the physiological impact of the protective clothing provides important information about the effect on individuals undertaking different tasks in various environm
31、ental conditions. In ISO 186401, relevant physical parameters of protective clothing are measured with a Sweating torso. Standard Sweating torso measurements provide physical parameters about combined and complex heat and moisture transfer (ISO 186401). By coupling the sweating torso to a mathematic
32、al model for thermophysiological responses, the thermophysiological impact of protective clothing is estimated and the maximum exposure time for defined environmental conditions and a defined activity protocol are predicted by Thermal Human Simulator (THS) measurements.The purpose of this document i
33、s to consider aspects of protective clothing performance that cannot be determined by tests described in other standards. The aim of this document is to quantify the thermo-physiological impact of protective garments for (structural) firefighting under relevant exposures. This document provides the
34、background for the specification of a minimum level of performance requirements during defined firefighting scenarios for the assessed firefighters protective clothing by calculation of the maximum allowable work duration in order to avoid heat stroke.NOTE The method allows to characterizing the the
35、rmophysiological impact for different levels of complexity. This includes the characterisation of the single PPE ensembles (standard procedure) as well as the characterisation of protective clothing ensembles including under wear and protective clothing, including air layers or including design feat
36、ures of protective clothing ensembles (e.g. pockets, reflective strips) as optional procedures3).1) Nunneley (1989) reported a significant physiological burden due to the protective clothing upon the wearer, both in the form of increased metabolic rate and reduced heat dissipation.2) Taylor (2012) s
37、howed that the relative influence of the clothing on oxygen cost was at least three times that of the breathing apparatus.3) This listing of standard and optional procedures is a first proposal for prioritization. The expressiveness of the different levels of complexity for the characterisation of t
38、he thermophysiological impact needs to be further investigated. Results will be presented at the next ballot.

39、ad caused by protective clothing worn by firefighters1 ScopeThis document specifies a method for evaluating the thermo-physiological impact of protective fabric ensembles and potentially protective clothing ensembles in a simulated activity under defined relevant conditions for firefighters.This doc
40、ument is intended to be used to assess the thermophysiological impact of protective fabric ensembles and potentially protective clothing ensembles but not the risk for heat stress due to actual fire conditions. The results of this test method can be used as elements of characterisation and compariso
41、n of thermophysiological impact of various types of protective fabric ensembles and potentially protective clothing ensembles.Default measurements are undertaken on fabric samples representing the garment or protective clothing combination. Optionally and in addition to the standard test method, the
42、 same testing protocol can be applied to characterise protective clothing ensembles including underwear, air layers and certain design features4). In addition measurements on readymade garments are optionally possible.NOTE The presently used evaluation methods are only validated for structural firef
