PD ISO/TS 16976-1:2015 Respiratory protective devices - Human factors. Part 1: Metabolic rates and respiratory flow rates

This Published Document is the UK implementation of ISO/TS 16976-1:2015. It supersedes DD ISO/TS 16976-1:2007 which is withdrawn. This Published Document was published under the authority of the Standards Policy and Strategy Committee on 31 December 2015. — 28 p. — ISBN: 978 0 580 88531 0.
This part of ISO/TS 16976 provides information on factors related to human anthropometry, physiology, ergonomics, and performance for the preparation of standards for performance requirements, testing, and use of respiratory protective devices. This part of ISO/TS 16976 contains information related to respiratory and metabolic responses to rest and work at various intensities. Information is provided for the following:
— metabolic rates associated with various intensities of work;
— oxygen consumption as a function of metabolic rate and minute ventilation for persons representing three body sizes;
— peak inspiratory flow rates during conditions of speech and no speech for persons representing three body sizes as a function of metabolic rates.
The information contained within this part of ISO/TS 16976 represents data for healthy adult men and women of approximately 30 years of age, but is applicable for the age range of the general population.
