Hot environments - Analytical determination and interpretation of thermal stress using calculation of required sweat rate (ISO 7933:1989 modified) EN 12515:1997

Publication date:   Oct 23, 2003

Scope

This European Standard specifies a method of analytical evaluation and interpretation of the thermal stress experienced by a subject in a hot environment. It describes a method of calculation the heat balance as well as the sweat rate that the human body should produce to maintain this balance in equilibrium: this sweat rate is called the "required sweat rate".
