This international standard provides the general principles of a test method for evaluating the thermo-physiological impact of complete garments or protective clothing ensembles in a simulated activity under defined relevant conditions for firefighters. This International Standard is intended to be used to assess the thermo-physiological impact of protective clothing 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 comparison of thermo-physiological impact of various types of protective clothing ensembles. NOTE: The presently used evaluation methods are only validated for structural firefighting garments
