This European Standard specifies the ergonomic principles relating to the biomechanical interaction between PPE and the human body. It covers both the influence of using PPE on the static and dynamic biomechanics of the human body and its influence on task performance and workload. It specifies the biomechanical principles to be incorporated into standards for the evaluation and testing of PPE. This Standard includes the biomechanical principles related to: - the static distribution of weight and consequent load on the human body when using different PPE and/or combinations of PPE.
