1.1 本规程规定了用于确定穿着防护服的受试者的生理反应的测试设备和程序。 1.2 本规程涵盖了体内核心温度、皮肤温度、暴露时间、心率反应、耗氧量和全身出汗率的生理测量，以评估穿着防护服的受试者的生理反应。该实践并不测量防护服套装对参与者施加的肌肉骨骼张力。 1.2.1 为了提高生理测试期间的安全性，这种动态测试需要使用满足特定健康和身体素质要求的人类参与者。 1.3 本标准不试图确定重要的服装特性，如防护服整体的隔热性和耐蒸发性。试验方法 F1291 和 F2370 可用于这些衣服的测量。 1.4 以国际单位制表示的数值应视为标准值。本标准不包括其他计量单位。 1.5 测试实验室有责任获得其机构要求的必要和适当的批准，以便使用人类参与者进行测试。 1.6 本标准并非旨在解决与其使用相关的所有安全问题（如有）。本标准的用户有责任在使用前制定适当的安全、健康和环境实践，并确定监管限制的适用性。 1.7 本国际标准是根据世界贸易组织技术性贸易壁垒（TBT）委员会发布的《关于制定国际标准、指南和建议的原则的决定》中确立的国际公认标准化原则制定的。 ====意义和用途====== 4.1 该实践可用于评估用户对在受控条件下穿戴的防护服的生理反应。 4.1.1 这种做法利用跑步机作为锻炼方案。该方法被认为适用于大多数防护服套装的评估，尤其是在用户将步行或进行类似活动的情况下。 在某些情况下，如果设计了一套防护服，供用户在执行特殊功能（例如，仅手臂运动的坐姿或站姿）时穿着，则应考虑使用替代运动设备（例如，手臂周期测力计）或运动方案来确定受试者的生理反应。 4.1.2 如果评估包括使用个人冷却系统，请参阅测试方法 F2300 . 4.2 本规程建立了基于核心温度、平均皮肤温度、心率、暴露时间、耗氧量和全身出汗率的生理测量的一般生理评估程序。 4.2.1 获得的数据可用于评估测试参与者穿着防护服时的整体生理反应。 4.2.2 这些数据还可用于研究和开发高级套装，这些套装旨在减少佩戴者的生理压力，从而减少与穿戴防护服套装相关的潜在伤害（例如，热损伤）。由于减少了生理压力，工人可能能够穿更长时间的防护服。 4.2.3 该数据还可用于比较类似类别的套装，并可用于评估防护服套装与基线套装相比对佩戴者的危害。 4.2.4 此外，共识标准组织也可以使用该做法制定防护服整体认证的生理测试标准。 4.3 偏离本规程中的说明可能会导致测试结果显著不同。需要掌握有关体温调节反应、生理和环境温度测量以及测试实践的技术知识，以评估哪些偏离本实践中给出的说明是重要的。所有出发必须报告结果。

1.1 This practice specifies the test equipment and procedures for determining the physiological responses of subjects wearing a protective clothing ensemble. 1.2 This practice covers the physiological measurement of internal body core temperature, skin temperature, exposure time, heart rate response, oxygen consumption, and whole body sweat rate to assess the physiological responses of subjects wearing a protective clothing ensemble. This practice does not measure the musculoskeletal strain on the participant imposed by the protective clothing ensemble. 1.2.1 To increase safety during physiological testing, this dynamic test requires the use of human participants who meet specific health and physical fitness requirements. 1.3 The present standard does not attempt to determine important clothing characteristics, such as thermal insulation and evaporative resistance of the protective clothing ensemble. Test Methods F1291 and F2370 can be used for these clothing measurements. 1.4 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard. No other units of measurement are included in this standard. 1.5 It is the responsibility of the test laboratory to obtain the necessary and appropriate approval(s) required by their institution for conducting tests using human participants. 1.6 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety, health, and environmental practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use. 1.7 This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee. ====== Significance And Use ====== 4.1 This practice can be used for the evaluation of the physiological response of a user to protective clothing ensembles worn under controlled conditions. 4.1.1 This practice utilizes a treadmill for the exercise protocol. This method is believed to be appropriate for the evaluation of the majority of protective clothing ensembles, especially where the user will be walking or performing similar activities. In certain situations where a protective clothing ensemble is designed to be worn where the user is performing specialized functions (for example, sitting or standing with only arm movement), alternate exercise equipment (for example, arm cycle-ergonometer) or exercise protocols should be considered for use in determining the physiological response of the subject. 4.1.2 Where evaluations include the use of personal cooling systems, refer to Test Method F2300 . 4.2 This practice establishes general procedures for the physiological evaluation based on the physiological measurement of core temperature, mean skin temperature, heart rate, exposure time, oxygen consumption, and whole body sweat rate. 4.2.1 The data obtained can be used to evaluate the overall physiological response of the test participant while wearing a protective clothing ensemble. 4.2.2 The data may also be used in the research and development of advanced ensembles that are designed to reduce the physiological strain on the wearer, thereby reducing the potential injury (for example, heat injury) associated with wearing the protective clothing ensemble. Workers may be able to wear a protective clothing ensemble for a longer duration due to a reduction in the physiological strain. 4.2.3 The data can also be used to compare similar classes of ensembles and can be used to evaluate protective clothing ensembles as a hazard to the wearer as compared to a baseline ensemble. 4.2.4 In addition, the practice could also be used by consensus standards organizations in the development of physiological test criteria for protective clothing ensemble certification. 4.3 Departures from the instructions in this practice may lead to significantly different test results. Technical knowledge concerning thermoregulatory responses, physiological and environmental temperature measurement, and testing practices is needed to evaluate which departures from the instructions given in this practice are significant. All departures must be reported with the results.
