Full ensemble wear testing is the ultimate assessment for indicating user opinion and acceptance of a garment ensemble. A specific and limited human subject pool, following a protocol based on ASTM F 2668 Standard Practice for Determining the Physiological Responses of the Wearer to Protective Clothing Ensembles, is used to evaluate protective garments where heat stress might impact wearer performance of job tasks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Participants are instrumented to collect physiological data on heart rate, skin temperature, and core temperature while following a prescribed protocol. T-PACC now employs wireless sensor technologies for data transmission and collection of readings on bodily stress indicators. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
