The wo

23、rk of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO technical committees. Each member body 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-governm

24、ental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical 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

25、main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards adopted by 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.

ENISO8996:2004INTENRATIONAL TSANDADR IS:6998 O4002(E)Ergonomics of the thermal environment Determination of metabolic rate 1 Scope The metabolic rate, as a conve

28、rsion of chemical into mechanical and thermal energy, measures the energetic cost of muscular load and gives a numerical index of activity. Metabolic rate is an important determinant of the comfort or the strain resulting from exposure to a thermal environment. In particular, in hot climates, the hi

29、gh levels of metabolic heat production associated with muscular work aggravate heat stress, as large amounts of heat need to be dissipated, mostly by sweat evaporation. This International Standard specifies different methods for the determination of metabolic rate in the context of ergonomics of the

30、 climatic working environment. It can also be used for other applications for example, the assessment of working practices, the energetic cost of specific jobs or sport activities, the total cost of an activity, etc. The estimations, tables and other data included in this International Standard conc

Users should make appropriate corrections when they are dealing with special populations including children,

32、aged persons, people with physical disabilities, etc. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document.

ISO 9886, Ergonomics Evaluation of thermal strain by physiological measurements ISO 15265, Ergonomics of the thermal environment Risk assessment strategy for the prevention of stress or discomfort in thermal working conditions 3 Principle and accuracy The mechanical effic

34、iency of muscular work called the “useful work”, W is low. In most types of industrial work, it is so small (a few percent) that it is assumed to be nil. This means that the total energy consumption while working is assumed equal to the heat production. For the purposes of this International Standar

35、d, the metabolic rate is assumed to be equal to the rate of heat production. Table 1 lists the different approaches presented in this International Standard for determining the metabolic rate. These approaches are structured following the philosophy exposed in ISO 15265 regarding the assessment of e

36、xposure. Four levels are considered here: ENISO8996:20041 Level 1, screening: Two methods simple and easy to use are presented to quickly characterize the mean workload for a given occupation or for a given activity: method 1A is a classification according to occupation; method 1B is a classificatio

37、n according to the kind of activity. Both methods provide only a rough estimate and there is considerable scope for error. This limits their accuracy considerably. At this level, an inspection of the work place is not necessary. Level 2, observation: Two methods are presented for people with full kn

38、owledge of the working conditions but without necessarily a training in ergonomics, to characterize, on average, a working situation at a specific time: in method 2A, the metabolic rate is determined by adding to the baseline metabolic rate the metabolic rate for body posture, the metabolic rate for

39、 the type of work and the metabolic rate for body motion related to work speed (using group assessment tables); in method 2B, the metabolic rate is determined by means of the tabulated values for various activities. A procedure is described to record the activities with time and compute the time-wei

40、ghted average metabolic rate, using the data from the two methods above. The possibility for errors is high. A time and motion study is necessary to determine the metabolic rate in work situations that involve a cycle of different activities. Level 3, analysis: One method is addressed to people trai

41、ned in occupational health and ergonomics of the thermal environment. The metabolic rate is determined from heart rate recordings over a representative period. This method for the indirect determination of metabolic rate is based on the relationship between oxygen uptake and heart rate under defined

42、 conditions. Level 4, expertise: Three methods are presented. They require very specific measurements made by experts: in Method 4A, the oxygen consumption is measured over short periods (10 min to 20 min) (a detailed time and motion study is necessary to show the representativity of the measurement

43、 period); method 4B is the so-called doubly labelled water method aiming at characterizing the average metabolic rate over much longer periods (1 to 2 weeks); method 4C is a direct calorimetry method. The main factors affecting the accuracy of the estimations are the following: individual variabilit

44、y; differences in the work equipment; differences in work speed; differences in work technique and skill; gender differences and anthropometric characteristics; cultural differences; when using the tables, differences between observers and their level of training; ENISO8996:20042ISO 8996:2004(E) I S

45、O 4002 All irthgs ersedevr 3 when using level 3, the accuracy of the relationship between heart rate and oxygen uptake, as other stress factors also influence the heart rate; at level 4, the measurement accuracy (determination of gas volume and oxygen fraction). The accuracy of the results, but also

46、 the costs of the study, increase from level 1 to level 4. Measurement at level 4 gives the most accurate values. As far as possible, the most accurate method should be used.
